Tired of losing your keys or forgetting your laptop bag?
ANKR gives your things a voice. Attach an ANKR to something, make it smart, and it will make sure it doesn't get forgotten.
Get some ANKRs. Put them on your things. Use this mobile app to add them, name them, get notifications from them if you guys get separated, see where they were left, get directions back to them, and more.
ANKR uses Bluetooth, GPS is not built into the ANKR. ANKR uses your phone's location info to help keep track of them.
If you have issues upgrading to the newest version, your best course of action is to uninstall the ANKR app, then install the newest version. This seems to be related to installing the application on an older build of Android OS and then upgrading to the new version of the ANKR app after applying Android updates. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Eats battery and false notifications. Unusable as it stands as my phone dies after half a day if I leave tracking on.
Not worth it , tile is better , the connection between my phone and the tracker is never accurate,
Alex Bieri
Doesn't work. Can't get past first screen that 'something is turned off' on Nexus 6 nugaut. Rarely do I get to see my devices on the map, but cannot ping them at all. Even when they're RIGHT next to me. Disappointed in this app.
Mark Burress
Battery life on phone is getting crushed every since this has been on my phone.

Needs to be polished and have a UI overhaul, for non-tech or non-application developers, it's hard to use. Device is great though, just please fix the app.
Phil Traversa
App needs polish and lots of debugging. Device itself works great. The setup process confused me a bit. It's weird for this random object to be saying hello to me. But the device itself - decent build quality, not too big or chunky, and it looks like it'll hold up very well on my keys.

About every 3 weeks the app stops working (when you launch it everything is grayed out) and it stops tracking things. Only way to fix it is to completely uninstall the app and then you have to pair the trackers again. Useless

Hi, David. I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem. That would be very frustrating. Please contact us at http://help.ankr.com so we can help you get this sorted out.
Thanks,
ANKR Support Team Two positives so far: 1) it's worked seamlessly with my Samsung 7 Edge and 2) When I ordered a second one, the incorrect product was sent so I talked to ANKR and they couldn't have been better in how they handled the concern. I'd give a 5, but the shipping mix-up brings the rating to a 4.
Waiting on mine Just ordered mine through a deal at work and I'm pretty excited for it! The angry and openly ignorant reviews on here are sad because the developer is CLEARLY trying to improve the app and strive to keep their customers happy even though most of these "issues" are user error. So I'm giving five stars for now and unless this little thing is a TOTAL let down, my review will stay at five stars, keep up the hard work ankr! ALRIGHT UPDATE TIME, HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR THIS, my opinion is, it's 5 star worthy.

Thank you, Ryan. We hope you're enjoying your ANKRs, and appreciate your support.
Best regards,
ANKR Support UX make over Guys I know it's a tough pill to swallow but the UX needs a make over. Please utilize the white space better so it feels more like a dashboard.
Horrible Map shows my ANKR in the ocean off the coast of Africa while I am in a mall. Zero stars if it were an option.

ANKR Support How do I set the alert sound? App is not alerting/playing any sound when I move away from the device. How to set the alert sound?
ANKR September 26, 2016
Good morning Veerabhadralah,
If your phone is on silent, then you should not receive any alert sound when you become separated from your ANKR unit, just the notification. Currently we have no way within the app to change the of the sound lost-alert.
Please contact us at help.ankr.com, if you have anymore questions or need to reach out to us. ANKR February 1, 2017

ANKR Support Team New version works great! Major bug fixes and new features! Works as advertised.
Android supported Previous update now supports my Samsung s5mini.
ANKR July 21, 2016
Hi, Edwin. Sorry for the frustration you experienced. ANKR is a Bluetooth Smart product, requiring Bluetooth v4.1 or newer. Your S5 mini has Bluetooth 4.0. Unfortunately, the Google Play Store doesn't allow us to prevent downloads based on Bluetooth version.
Please contact us at help.ankr.com, and we would be happy to set up a return. Simple, useful app This app has saved me twice in the past week. I appreciate that it only notifies me when something's lost - it doesn't bother me unless I need to be bothered.
Very happy Glad that this app is finally available for Android.
Great for keeping track of things I love how it alerts you when you start to wander away from whatever you're tracking. The first step for me to not losing something is to not forget about it in the first place, and ankr's reminders are great at that
Horrible Android app could be so simple a kid could write it. Ditch the location crap code. Location does not work on 6. Lg g5 shows old local on setup. Just create range rings Jesus people it is just no that hard. Total product fail.

Hi, Christopher. Thanks for your feedback. The latest release is a major upgrade, bringing all the features of our iOS app to Android – overdue, we know! Please upgrade, and let us know your thoughts. Thanks for being an ANKR customer. Simple. Easy to set up. I like the fact that I know where my keys are if I lost them! Can't wait for the ring function to come to android!
Simple and unsophisticated Not as good as others. But does the job.
ANKR July 28, 2016
Hi, Salvador. We think you'll be delighted with the new release, which brings complete feature parity to our Android app. Once you've upgraded, we hope you'll let us know your thoughts. Thanks for being a customer. Garbage App App has almost no promised functionality. Constantly thinks it has lost contact to the device and generates a nuisance notification even though it is sitting 2 ft from the phone.
ANKR July 28, 2016
Hi, Christopher. We think you'll be much happier with the new release, which brings complete feature parity to our Android app. Once you've upgraded, please let us know your thoughts. Thanks for being a customer. Dreadful App Dreadful App - keeps sending "Unfortunately, ANKR has stopped" message.
ANKR July 22, 2016
Hey Peter, we think that your error message is popping up when bluetooth is turned off and / or airplane mode is turned on. We've since fixed the error with a new version of our app so it won't crash when you turn off bluetooth. Let us know if we can do anything more for you! ANKR July 21, 2016
Hi, Kfir. Sorry for the frustration you experienced. ANKR is a Bluetooth Smart product, requiring Bluetooth v4.1 or newer. Your S5 has Bluetooth 4.0. Unfortunately, the Google Play Store doesn't allow us to prevent downloads based on Bluetooth version.

Hi, Sri Harsha. We think you'll be delighted with the new release, which brings complete feature parity to our Android app. Once you've upgraded, we hope you'll let us know your thoughts. Thanks for being a customer. Battery suck and no sound Hit 9% on battery, it makes no sound on the phone when leaving it behind, only notification, crashes when blue tooth is closed
ANKR November 2, 2016
Hi, Jeff. The ANKR app will use whatever system sound setting you have established. We have no way of overriding system settings if, for example, your sound is muted. It also requires Bluetooth to operate, but the app shouldn't be crashing.
Please contact us via our support page (help.ankr.com), and we can help troubleshoot the issue further. Review deleted
