Tag questions

Does a luggage tag QR code show my number?

No. The finder sees what you choose: the item’s name, a photo and a short note. Your number, email and address never show. They chat or ring you from the page, and you answer in the iQR Alerts app.

Who gets the alert?

You, and the people you add: a partner, a parent, a friend. Each gets an invite to the free iQR Alerts app, and their alerts start once they accept it there. Then you all get the alert at the same moment. Anyone on the list with the app can reply.

Does the finder need an app?

No. Their phone camera opens the page; it needs mobile data or Wi-Fi to load. No account, no download, no fee for them.

Is it a GPS tracker?

No. There is no battery and no tracking. You hear about it when someone scans the tag and gets in touch. If they share their location, you see the city it was found in.

Stickers, key tags or bag tags: which goes where?

Stickers suit flat things like a laptop, a camera or a case. QR code key tags hang from a keyring. A QR code bag tag loops through a handle. Print them on sticker paper or card at home: lost and found labels with a private way back to you.

How do I make a tag?

Pick what you are tagging, name it and choose a look. Add the people to alert, then print stickers, key tags or bag tags at home. It takes about a minute.
