It is useful for keys and the like but you are relying on others having the same system on their phone and them having Bluetooth on and near your device. Your personal phone Bluetooth range is only 5m-10m. It is quite a limited offering, if your bike is in the middle of a field in a barn no Bluetooth app is ever going to find it.
If you want a simple tracker with very reasonable annual fees you might consider something like Monimoto. Not infallible either but better as a theft device than the Apple product. The fees are for a SIM card subscription at $42 (US) per year.
This is very similar to what I use now and is spot on reliable. In addition, it can be used for more than just vehicles.
