There are two types of separation alerts that you can enable in the app. Device Separation Alert and iPhone Separation Alert. Basically what it does is that if either the device or the phone gets disconnected, you will get an alert. There is a warning that it will dramatically increase battery consumption and can cause false alerts.

Despite its small size, the sound produced by the TrackR Pixel is pretty loud.

The Wi-Fi Safe Zone is an interesting feature that enables you to disable separation alerts only if the phone is connected to whitelisted wi-fi networks, like maybe your home or office.

Despite having support for Amazon Alexa integration, I find that it is gimmicky. You can only use it to find your phone instead of items that have been attached by a TrackR Pixel.

Conclusion
The phone’s connection to the TrackR Pixel is sometimes not very reliable. If my phone and TrackR Pixel are out of range from each other, at times, it will not reconnect back once they go back in range.

Having said that, the connection is much better than my Chipolo which I backed on Kickstarter.
