Knog Scout Bike Alarm

Disappointing product. The app only works on iOS and even then the app is very buggy and unstable. The app often forgets my Scout for no reason, pairing with Apple "Find My" was very cumbersome (had to do a factory reset several times). The alarm also goes off way too fast, causing me to silence it. As soon as someone taps my bike in e.g. a bicycle shed, the alarm already goes off on its least sensitive setting. So you get a lot of "false positive" signals from "thieves" who ultimately turn out to be nothing.

Pros & Cons

My experience with it was good, especially since it is integrated into the Apple Find My service, but its application is not that great.

Pros & Cons

Received quickly and easy installation. Install under water bottle possible but bolts (with special key to (dis)assemble) may be too short in combination with other accessories (e.g. lock holder that also use water bottle location). Functions for sensitivity touch and set alarm tone useful. It is mainly a deterrent. Alarm on bike well audible, not very loud. To transmit alarm signal, your mobile does need to be within bluetooth range, which often means you can see your bike. Works as expected and glad I invested in this.

Pros & Cons

Works with Apple's find my phone and does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Pros & Cons

Could be louder. The app hangs a little more often than I would like. I'm not very confident that the theft protection has been increased. If the thief comes, I hope he gets a brief fright and skips away.
