Help Finding Things

If you lose or misplace your belongings, apps can help you find them. Place an electronic tag on your wallet, car keys, or anything else that tends to disappear regularly and you can locate it with a smartphone app. The tag sends a signal up to 150 feet. If you believe a tagged item has been stolen, you mark it as lost on the app. Another phone that has the app will detect the location of your item and notify you. The StickNFind product costs $50 for two tags. Button TrackR devices cost $95 for 10 tags.
