Reviews for hipKey Proximity and Movement Alarm

I have used the hipKey for a week now and it really works for me.

The App is very straight forward and easy to change settings and distance

In the beginning I have spent some time getting things just right for me

Can't wait to try out the child-mode next time I'm going to Disneyworld

I have been using hipkey for two weeks and it just works like a charm despite what is written elsewhere. I have only had great experiences with hipkey. Hipkey was up and running 1 minute after getting it out of the box and I have had a reliable connection ever since day and night.

What I like is the look and feel of hipkey itself. It's clean design, high-end materials and the excellent App, which is a story in itself. Intutiative interface, simple to use and apple like designed.

Some prefer longer lasting coin cell batteries. Not me! For one I care about the environment and do not want to buy new batteries all the time and secondly I never remember which coin cell battery I need unless I bring the old one with me to the shop. They all look alike. hipkey has a rechargeable battery. After two weeks usage I haven't charged it once and still have 2/3 power left. Not bad at all.

Overall very satisfied with my hipkey and recommend it to my friend and family.

Well done Hippih.

Got Hipkey as a present from my thoughtful husband. Never thought I needed one until I got Hipkey. What a clever invention. I often misplace my keys and now I can find them anywhere in the house from my iPhone. It saves me lots of stressful time on the way out.

I am not tech-savy, so great to experience that the pairing happened automatically after just opening the app. Never experienced this before. The App is easy to use, change settings and set it up. One of the features I find excellent is the safezone feature. Based on my location, hipkey will automatically mute unwanted alarms, when Hipkey and my iPhone gets too far away from each other. Works like a charm. When I leave my house it exits the safezone a few houses away and it enters the safezone when I park my car on the driveway. Great.

The only feature I miss is being able to get a location on my hipkey. In case I leave it behind somewhere and my iPhone isn't connected to it, I cannot find it anymore.

A great gadget with many useful features. It's my everyday companion - and never again a forgotten iPhone;)

Ready, set, go in less than 1 minutes. Great App to make it happen so smoothly.

I love the design and the features. I use motion mode to watch my computer bag with Apple products when visiting clients and alarm mode when I am moving around.

Usage is better than expected. Much longer alarm distance than all other similar devices I have come across.

The team behind hipkey is very supportive. I submitted my question on their web and next day was called up by someone from the organisation. Problem was resolved within 5 minutes and I could move on. I encourage others to do the same.

I cannot say I have had any problems with my hipKey. I love it !!!

Bluetooth is known for its limitations on distance, but I find this device actually does quite well. A quick test outdoor showed I could get more than 164 feet away before the alarm occurred. I tested this with both my new iPhone5 and old iPhone4S. Almost same distance.

Indoor is different. The Long distance setting is in my house reduced to less than half the outdoor distance. This is expected when dealing with Bluetooth. The hipkey has a smart solution to the problem, which is safe-zone. With safe-zone the problems with shorter max distance are removed. I don't get any false alarms, and when I want to find my iPhone, hipkey will quick connect to the 'hidden' phone, once it is within reach. Very convenient.

As a test I have been 'leaving' my house without my iPhone a few times just to see what happens. When picking up hipkey it gives a few beep's (not the alarm sound) every time. Not sure if this is intended but it works as a reminder to me that hipkey is not connected to iPhone when leaving my house. If this is indeed intended, I find this very innovative and useful.

The max hipKey sound loudness is not great. I can imagine that I would not hear it in a noisy area. but then I do find the vibrator useful when carried in my jeans.

The app itself is very easy to use and figure out in the beginning. After 5 minutes I had figured out all the basics. I like the wheel, and the way the App is maneuvered with one hand only. The app is very clean, which is nice.

hipKey itself is super nice. It looks and feels great. Real quality feel all through. The hanger is a bit cheap but I was going to use my own lanyard anyway. Probably most people will do the same anyway, so not a big issue.

All in all I am very satisfied and so far use my hipkey every day.

This is the best money spend ever. hipkey helps me find my phone and key's at any time. Motion mode I use for looking after my camera accessories while shooting for customers.

I keep hipkey in my keyring with other keys. So far no major no scratches etc. on hipKey. It looks nice, feels robust and material selection is very good.

I have used it every day since I got it, and haven't had any issues with this device at all.

Be prepared to use hipKey a few days to learn how to use it in the right way. I did. After that there is no point of return. It is absolutely great and the consumer promise 100% fulfilled.

At first I got a few false alarms but I quickly learned to set alarm distance to medium or long (best result) and then setup safe zone's, which is an excellent feature. If you don't already use safe zones, then do so as it is an important feature for the overall experience. I also learned not to carry hipkey or iPhone tightly enclosed to the body. Bluetooth is not well suited for that in general and the result can be a degrease of max connection distance between iPhone and hipKey.



I normally do not loose my things but it happened one week ago that my iPhone slipped out of my pocket while sitting on the back seat in a yellow cab. When leaving the cab, my phone was still on the back seat. Luckily hipkey warned me and I could run to stop the cab and immediately get my iPhone back. So happy with hipKey that day! Another observation with hipKey is that after carrying it, I have become more aware about not leaving any of my valuables behind where ever I am. This it in self is really beneficial.

Finally this morning I downloaded the new hipKey app and found it now overrules the mute button. My one complaint has now disappeared.

Great work hipKey team. I'd recommend hipKey to everyone I know.

I was very excited to get hipKey and was one if the first people in the U.S. to order and get hipKey. Unfortunately, the product is entirely unusable and is being retuned immediately.

Specifically, after first causing my iPhone 5 to reboot (ok, one malfunction is not a deal-breaker), hipKey then keeps sounding the alarm, even though it and my iPhone are in the same room or are just one room apart! And, yes, this keeps happening -- and I and my family keep getting woken up during the course of the night -- even with our having (A) changed the hipKey alarm setting to wide range and (B) set up a hipKey "Safe Zone" around our home.

So, our excited expectation for hipKey is now complete disappointment and the product is being returned immediately. :(
