I hope it's better than Samsung's implementation. Their trackers are absolutely useless if they're too far away from your phone.
I've had good fortune with mine whilst travelling around Asia and Australia, will be testing it soon in Europe. Perhaps there's not as many Samsung users where you are?
Well I live in the 5th largest city in my country but everything in the US is spread so far apart that even if every person in my neighborhood used a Samsung phone, they'd probably still be too far away from my trackers for them to actually work.
I wish I had known they had such a short range before I bought them, but they're still useful for finding things that I often lose in the house (like my keys, wallet, and cannabis vape). So there's that.
