Why we love this deal

Nothing is more frustrating than misplacing something you really need. Whether it be small like a pair of keys, or more expensive like a wallet or purse, it always seems that our important essentials go missing the minute we're trying to get out the door, late for work or a prior engagement. And while we'd love to sometimes say "forget it" and find what's been lost when we have more time, more often than not, when something that important has been misplaced, time is of the essence to find it. Lucky for shoppers, these days there is a product for every kind of problem you could have, and thanks to evolving technology, tracking tags have become more prevalent on the market to make sure those endless searches for your missing items get resolved much more quickly these days. They can be expensive, depending on where you look, but at the right retailers, you can find amazing deals on this incredible technology that helps eliminate so much stress in your life — and Walmart has a great one right now. 

For a limited time, the Aptkdoe Air Tracker Tags are available in a set of four for 88% off. That means you can get four tracker tags, which originally cost $180, for just $22.

Why do shoppers love it?

Find your missing purse, car keys, suitcase, and heck, even your friends and family when they seem to go AWOL with the help of these convenient tracker tags. As an iOS-compatible product, these Bluetooth tags won't work on non-iOS devices, so non-Apple products like Androids unfortunately can't be paired with these tags. Nevertheless, if you have an iPhone or IPad, you can easily set these trackers up via Apple's Find My app to help locate all your essential items when you need to. Through the one-tap setup on the app, you can label the tags with custom names and emoji identifiers, and view real-time locations of your misplaced items. But, the important thing to remember is that the tag has to be on, in, or fastened to that missing item for you to actually find it on your iOS friendly device — an obvious statement that we can all easily forget.

If an item is within 200 feet of you within the app, you're able to have the tracker emit an 80 to 100 dB beep to better alert you to its location, while the Find My app is better for locating items across greater distances, like tracking a suitcase at the airport for example. You can enable pop-up notifications about the last known location of an item after it's moved beyond Bluetooth mode (when you won't be able to send off that sound), and also set up a customizable geofence radius, usually matching your typical movement or travel patterns, to prevent false alarms. Not only does the air tag come with a replaceable battery that lasts over a year, but privacy is ensured with the Air Tracker, meaning your personal information and details won't be shared with anyone, including Apple. And by being Apple MFi Certified, the brand ensures that this accessory, made for an iPhone, iPod, or iPad, meets Apple's quality and safety standards. 

Other features include lost mode activation, which, when turned on, displays preset contact details and a custom message when the Air Tracker is detected by another compatible Apple device, and shared tracking, which allows you to share item locations with up to five other users in the Find My app. The trackers are also water resistant and super durable.

Shoppers find it perfect for tracking missing items and people, the latter especially when you have kids who are running around between school, work, and extracurricular activities.
