Tile - Find lost keys & phone Reviews

Love my tiles!! My wife and I have one on each of our sets of keys and time and time again they’ve been a life saver. When my son was a young toddler he put my spare keys in our wine glass storage case and that’s where they remained until we decided to move and began packing. At that time tiles weren’t available. Not too long ago I spent 3 hours looking for my one and only set of keys to my current truck only to find out they were in my sons backpack at school! I immediately went and purchased a 4 pack of tiles after that morning which left me extremely late for work. I now have a 2 year old daughter who is obsessed with hiding things such as keys and I’ve never had to look for my keys for more than one minute! I will be purchasing some of the stick on tiles next for the things I’m left searching for the most and I couldn’t be more pleased with the price and dependability of the this app products. The key chain tiles have no down side. The only down side to the stick on is the fact that batteries can’t be replaced so you get about 2-3 years from them. There would be no way to change the sticker tiles in order to have a battery option unless it became bulky which would cause them to be less desirable and unable to use in many applications. Considering the great price of all of the this app products I’d say 2-3 years is well worth it. This product is a must have!

I have never in 25 or 30 years written to review anything on the Internet. My company and I spend a lot of time using computers and the Internet which is why I am so dumbfounded at the ridiculous number of requests that I get daily from this app to try to get my personal information and if you go to your own website page it says you’re going to sell it to other companies for profit. I always simply allow you to use my data when i’m using Tile . And I don’t want you to sell that data to anyone else while I am using your app. But you never give me that chance, I sign up with you and you take my data and sell it to whoever you want without my approval. Simply outrageous. I don’t even have the opportunity to avail myself of the wonderful way that you can help me find my lost keys and for that service you are able to sell information about my financial transactions or my family. Who are you and what country are you from because that is not what I think the people that started the United States of America were trying to do so please clean yourselves up. I know you won’t because you’re addicted to money but that’s the problem in our country today, but blaming it on others is no excuse for continuing this atrocious behavior. Please stop asking me to use my data. Stop it. Thank you, Joe Kennedy, Chairman and President of Citizens Energy Corporation

I’m going to make this kind of long because I know people are looking at this app for their pets! I’ve read bad reviews, I’ve read good reviews. Here’s where I’m at: The batteries off the bat are working good! I don’t like how they hang on my cats collars, I’d rather them be smaller and have a way to slip them onto something. I glued a couple to the actual collars so they don’t hang but they’re still big. They are slim so that brings the score up a little. Now to how they work: Its kind of like hide and go seek. You have to walk around a little before the the this app goes off. I can’t tell the distance but it can tell if a cat is right by the house if I’m inside. The this app community is good if someone’s this app catches something you’ve marked as lost. It’s good if your animals don’t stray far from your home but if they do you need something with better range. It is a good babysitter though, not if they come and go as they please and you don’t pay attention! If they’re outside and I have Tile on and one of them goes out of range I know to go out and start looking! I purchased the once a year subscription for $39 for the premium for all 4, that’s doable for me but there are other options. Your best bet is, try it, you get 4 in a pack you can register! Worst case scenario you don’t like them for your pet you can use them for your keys and remotes because they make the noise so you can find them!

The product generally is good but in my opinion it’s reliability has declined over the past year. For example, there is a feature where it is supposed to warn you whem a this app needs replacing. I’ve had a couple occasions recently where I didn’t receive that warning with the result that I couldn’t locate a couple things -/ one was a set of keys-/ because the this app had gone dead without me being warned by the Tile to replace it. In another instance you are supposed to be able to find your phone by pressing the button on the this app. I’ve had a couple instances where that doesn’t t work including one this evening where I literally tore the room apart to find my phone because I couldn’t get it to respond to the this app. After I found the phone, I held the this app right up next to the phone and the phone did not alarm as it should have. In still another instance I left a set of keys at home – which I did not need. However, I wasn’t sure if I took them with me and so I activated this app to see if I could locate them. this app informed me that the keys were nearby, I looked for 15 minutes trying to find them but couldn’t get the this app to sound. In fact as it turned out, I’d left them at home. So my assessment is that this app is good but not great and is mostly – but not always — reliable.

I was an early adopter. I replaced my this app when Tile told me to. I put the new this app on my keys. I didn’t misplace my keys for about a month, and when I did, the new this app didn’t work. I called the company (googled the name and found the phone number) The person I spoke with found my order and said she’d send a replacement. I never received it. I found a message saying it had been shipped. I got a loooong tracking no. for DHL. Turned out they said there was “no such number” so they gave it to USPS who gave me another tracking number before I found out it had been returned to sender.
I wrote an angry email. Same day I got a robo message saying my order shipped (only with no order number on it this time). That was a month ago. Now I can’t find any phone number for them or even where their alleged chat feature is accessed. I hate them.
They have my $30 and if I lose my keys the dead this app on them won’t help.

Today I got two batteries in the mail! (This is about a year later). It was a pleasant surprise as I thought the whole this app would have to be replaced. I guess this is this app 2.0 where the battery can be replaced instead of the whole this app. Thanks!!

I left my keys in Phoenix on Easter weekend and had family ship them back to me by UPS overnight. Keychain had all the important keys and a this app! The keys were lost and a claim was opened so that UPS could begin the search.
I was told that it may take several days to a week to locate them (if they were found at all). At the end of the first day I remembered I had a this app on the keychain so I launched Tile and pressed “lost” to initiate the alert to all this app app users. It took about four hours to get an email alert that my keys were found at one of the UPS buildings near the Ontario California airport. The next morning, I followed the map directions in the this app app and it took me literally to the security gate at a large secure building. I had to make several calls to reach an employee in that building who came out to meet me. I explained the this app system and gave them my iPhone to take back into the building and it will guide them to my keys.
In less than five minutes the UPS rep returned to my car with my keys! Following her were six other UPS employees who wanted to know how the system worked and where they could buy the this app. I found my keys in less than fourteen hours and UPS likely would still be looking for them. Absolutely incredible. If you ship anything of value, consider attaching a this app to it so YOU can locate it in case it is lost.

I have had tiles few years now and this is a honest review because I believe in this product. I cannot express how much I appreciate my tiles when I cannot find my keys, wallet or phone. As long as I can find one of the three it will lead me to my phone and from my phone I can find the others. Only when I’m running late for work the only time this seems to happen. Lol
The best way to illustrate how having a this app Slim in my wallet is to share a story.
I was working out of town and had went to pick up some dinner. On the way back a critter of some sort ran out in front of me. Raccoon , big cat, dog , opossum? I hit my brakes and watched my food slide off my seat into the floorboard. I drove back to the motel and ate.
It was then I noticed my wallet was missing. So I scrambled around found my phone and checked my this app . Not in range. But I was a plane to find it on my this app app. Iy It showed me where it was… on the side of the road. No way … I mean no way … would I have ever found it without my this app. I can promise this… at the time it felt like it saved my life.
Tiles save time. Tiles save lives.. Figuratively speaking of course.

Overall, the this app app works and has helped me locate things in the past. Honestly, have had better luck finding things with a this app than my fruit company tags - app seems to work better in always locating the product and sound is loud on the this app devices. My only complaints are the battery life on the devices - for some reason, 2 of mine don’t last long - maybe due to extreme hot/cold weather changes, I don’t know (however the fruit company tags don’t seem to die as quick). What really annoys me is that I have the this app subscription and they never send me replacement batteries on time - actually, they sent me a replacement battery once; but I had to chat with customer service. My expectation is that they would know when my batteries are running low and ship them out before they die. As of today, I have 3 tiles with dead batteries, and zero intentions of renewing the subscription since it’s cheaper to buy the batteries myself anyways, was just being lazy and paying for the convenience. Thought it be like my smart printer, where they do an awesome job shipping me ink and paper way before I run out. So this app hardware and app get 5-stars; subscription gets a 1 just because it does a decent job with historically telling me where my stuff has been.

My this app is the savior of all saviors. The logut in the inevitable darkness of losing one’s phone/wallet/keys/etc. Hands Down the best gift anyone has ever gotten me.

Earlier today, I lost my phone while skiing as it fell out of my pocket at some point. Of course, I tried Find My iPhone, which was great for finding the location of my phone, but kept glitching with My location, so I couldn’t tell if I was getting closer or further away. And of course, my phone was on silent so it wouldn’t make a noise. Luckily, I had my this app that i kept in my wallet on me. I double clicked that bad boy probably 70 times as I retraced my steps down runs I had done earlier that night. Finally, the this app made the noise indicating that my phone was ringing. No matter day or night, ringer on or silent mode, this baby makes your phone sing louder than sirens. I found my phone right under me, buried Several Inches in the snow, singing it’s lovely little tune. And boy, that feeling of relief was better than any high drugs could give you.

I am eternally indebted to this device for saving my phone from being shredded by grooming machines. Thank you, this app.

I believe everything happens for a reason, including the loss of my one set of car keys and prescription sunglasses... with that being said, I neglected to buy this app sooner due to some negative reviews. I got a great deal on a bundle during the holidays. I really do not understand the negative reviews, including the within-app notifications. this app DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY if location services is not set to “always.” I realize this makes your battery go down faster. I, personally, only set it on “always” when leaving the house. Tile itself it simple and easy to use for all. Tiles themselves can be expensive if not purchased on sale or in a bundle. You must also have keychains or stickies (which I bought on eBay for my older this app models) to attach them to your items... unless you have the bulky-looking this app Sticker. The item locations are not so precise as Apple’s Find My iPhone, in which one case located my phone in my car in the driveway. I love the ring feature of the Tiles for lost items or phone around the house. Again, for this to work, location services must be set to “always.” Give this app and the simple app a try! :)

I was very pleased with the this app gift I received on Christmas. It found my keys and wallet several times. However once I got a new Iphone about 6 months ago it did not seem to work any more. Yesterday I could not find my keys. Searched everywhere. Even revisited three stores I shopped in. This morning I decided to try to use my this app. Initially I signed in but had a typo in my email and I had someone issues trying to set it up. I explained the issue using chat before the live chat was available. I received an email acknowledging my question I raised and they indicated the support team would get back to me. I decided to started my sign in entry from the beginning using my correct email. In seconds my account opened with all of my this app protected devices. With in minutes I was told the keys were very near and I activated the signal and “Wala” the keys were on the second shelf of my bookcase where the natural light is limited. It worked great. Thanks Thanks Thanks for a system I thought had to be downloaded again. I will be purchasing more for myself and as gifts in the near future.

As one who has a tendency to “misplace” my keys, IPad and IPhone I was delighted when about 16 months ago a clerk at BestBuys told me about this app. She showed me hers and how it operated. I was sold on it! I immediately bought a this app for my IPhone. Besides my iPhone and iPad, that was the best money that I have spent on electronics. It was definitely the least expensive. I cannot tell you how many times the this app has kept me sane. I am not sure where I put my phone or if I even have it with me at times and I just press the this app. Immediately I know if I have the phone with me or can use my iPad to get a general location for it. I gave up my landline four years ago and just have my cellphone, so I am up the creek without my phone. In addition, I no longer remember phone numbers or addresses, so I am lost without the phone.
I have had to deal with this app customer support electronically and have found them to be very helpful and respond immediately with a satisfactory resolution.
I am one happy customer, wish I could say that about some other companies I have had to deal with!!!

My bf got me this last year for christmas. After about five months it stopped playing the song when I would try to find it, however, it still tells me the general location. Frustrating when they are not in a usual spot, but still, I know what room they are in. My dad had also bought me a pebble bee, which I stuck in my wallet. I never lose my wallet, so I haven’t had to use it. However it came with a second one. When I decided I would put both the pebble bee and the this app on my keys ( that I lose very often) I found out the the PB app had logged me out. When I tried contacting customer service they were of no help, and flat out ignored me after I told them I had already tried what they asked me to do. I don’t know how helpful the this app people are, mostly because I have had no issues with the this app. It says that the battery is running low now, and it needs to be replaced. You can buy a new one in Tile . While I’m not worried about the expense, I AM worried about the environmental cost of throwing these away every year. I am definitely getting a new one of the this app, as it has helped me very much, and I will try to recycle my current one.

this app Just keep getting better! I’m getting rather old in age and I need a this app even more now since I lose things frequently. this app comes to the rescue! Thanks this app!!
One thing I want to mention, I recently purchased the flat billfold this app. I love this flat this app and it’s perfectly in my billfold, however something I haven’t thought about… I have one of the RFID billfolds and hadn’t given any thought to using a this app inside my RFID billfold until I receive my billfold this app. To make a longer story short, my RFID billfold severely limits the tiles range so my billfold can’t be located when trying to find it just several feet away. I can take the this app out of my billfold and lay it alongside the billfold and the range is good but not when it’s inside the billfold. I guess I should feel comforted that my billfold is protecting my credit cards from RFID SKIMMING. Actually to do it over again, I need the capability of locating my wallet more than I need the capability of RFID protection. I didn’t buy the Wallet for the RFID protection I bought it because I like the wallet, big mistake. I hope I can find a non-RFID wallet that I like so I can use the flat wallet this app.

I have had Tile to go with my wallet and keys the find function works great for in room stuff anything actually lost outside like in a park or on a bus somewhere will require you to have premium features that logs where you have been so you can use that to track down your lost item. It will not give you live GPS location movements like find my iphone will. So I use this pony to quickly find my misplaced items instead of lost items. As for the sms or text messages that you left something behind that never worked for me, I don't know if it was a gimmick or some false advertising but no matter what it didn't work yes I had the premium service and and had the smart alerts all on but it never told me that I left anything behind. Tile is a great idea but when my premium expired I was going to purchase a full year but when I saw that the wallet tracker was not in the replacement with the premium I never bothered to renew. I will always have to buy new items as the battery dies and that's OK but for what the GPS claims to do its a bit expensive imo. If it was live GPS and the smart alerts actually worked I would say yes that 30 dollars a year price is fine.

I bought four tiles and they’re fine. But Tile is super annoying. They try to squeeze every penny out of you with in-app marketing and up-sell to try to get you to pay every month for more features. I wouldn’t mind static adverts, but it’s interruptive, with ads that are disguised as features or settings. Like there is a button for sharing your this app with someone else (for instance so your spouse or grandma can also find the kids’ stuff). But when you click on the button to share you get a pay prompt. I don’t mind it in a freemium product (company has to make money) but I already paid for this! Stop it! Put that stuff in an advanced features section or paid features section. It’s not “user first”.

And then there are other things like every time I close Tile I get a notification that if Tile is closed it can’t track me so go to setting and enable always on location tracking. If I wanted to do that I would have done it after the first dozen notifications. Stop bugging me!

And put that energy into making the core product better. Sometimes the finding capability doesn’t work even when the this app is just in the next room.

I am not sure if the problem is with the this app or Tile , but to me they are one in the same. Purchased a pair of tiles for my wife to track the cat, HoboJo. He likes to hide. To test the product before I set up for my wife I downloaded Tile and set up the this app pros. Everything seems to work as expected except location info doesn’t seem accurate enough to find in the house without activating the sound, but that is not my biggest issue. I thought I would just log into my account on her phone and she would be set. NO!!! I had to set up an account for her and the when I went to reprogram the tiles to her account I found out there was no way to start the reprogram feature again without calling this app support. BAD THING IS THERE IS NO NUMBER TO CALL!!!!! now I am left with to useless chips until I am graced with contact from this app. Yes I tried email/txt support and only received automated replies during business hours. I even dig through the trash to find the box, hoping there might be some contact info available. NO LUCK!! Seems like to me with such a sophisticated device the could add a not when pair that unpair this device will take hours of your time. ENSURE YOU PAIR THE this app WITH THE CORRECT DEVICE UNPAIRING WILL BE DIFFICULT!!! or impossible. I am hopefully, but still have not resolved my pairing issue.

Hey guys so my issues is I’ve been trying to get a full refund on a set of the new Tiles but all these options online and instructions give you the run around and none of them really help you. You can’t call anyone in, the text in option through Tile doesn’t even exist like it says, and they aren’t available on weekends?!? What large company doesn’t have customer support on weekends when people actually have time to do anything. Any how Tile itself seems fine no issues with it for now except that you can’t hit a Go Back button on certain sections so you have to close Tile completely and open it back up to get to the home section. My biggest complain about the NEW PRO TILES is that the sound goes off every other minute because the center button on the this app is so sensitive making these tiles more annoying than anything and a waste of money. It is also made of plastic which would easily be damaged if dropped hard enough which I feel was a major downgrade as I am used to the Sport version a harder shell with non-interchangeable battery that doesn’t go off every other minute because it’s easily activated by anything that even slightly runs up against it. Buyers do more research when planning on purchasing these tiles

I acquired a sulcata tortoise a year ago. She’s now almost two. Their diet consists of grass, clover, dandelion flowers and just outside stuff.
At first I used a small piece of duct tape and attached a red long pipe cleaner on her back so I could see her at all times while she and I were outside… but one day I looked away for one second and she was gone… I panicked and finally I found her under all the huge hostas. I thought there’s gotta be a better way to keep track of her. Then I found the this app. I bought the large one first but it was WAY to big. So I bought the small one . Then I thought… how can I attach it to her shell so I can take it off her with out hurting her and so I bought some alien tape. I can cut a small tiny piece and it attaches to the this app and to her shell with ease and I never worry about it falling off. This way I can just twist it a tiny bit and voila!!!!!
It’s a great game changer!!!!!
Also , she’s gotten used to the sound of the this app when I track her. She stops moving because she knows…. Times up for now!!!

I decided to give up my Tiles since they decided to FORCE you to allow them to track your location all the time. My iPhone keeps waking me that this app requests my location about 200 times every 3 days. Even my iPhone finds it suspect. I would understand a little more if I was a premium user and I cared about tracking the location of my devices for a month but that’s not the case. I just occasionally need to find my keys or my phone. It used to work fine but now this app provides you with a long explanation about why they need to track you. When you read through their lengthy explanation you realize it’s nonsense. They just expect that people will just opt in to rationalize the $30 they spent on the this app. If they put a warning on the box that says this app requires 24 hour location tracking they probably wouldn’t sell as many as they do. We’ve all ready enough about what companies do with our data. this app has zero justification for making you allow them to track you 24/7 just so you can find your keys once a month. Again, it used to work just fine several months ago but they now have a way to sell your data so they adjusted their technology. Not a lot of other options but I’d rather lose my keys. this app... you know what you can do with it.

The only issue I have dealt with so far is:
Tile should not have to run in the background at all times in order to find your phone! My kids play on the iPhone & habitually close apps, so they do not run the battery down. If they mistakenly close Tile & we do not realize it, then lose our phone..We are not able to use Tile to find it..☹️This is frustrating! If you keep the Bluetooth on, there should be a way not to have to keep Tile open. This situation just happened to me. It still took 10 minutes to find my phone because I could not use the this app since someone closed Tile ! Other than that, it is an awesome app!! I have not used it to find out keys yet but I am sure we will, as my husband loses them all of the time! Hopefully you guys can find a way to make it work without Tile running..In the meantime, we will spend more time using it & working with it/getting used to it. So, I will update my review once I get the hang of it..
I recommend this for anyone who loses their keys/phone! It does work well as long as Tile is running..

I preordered the product when it was still in development. It took a long time to get, but I was very excited for what it could do. The ad showed someone losing a bike and finding it with their this app. Unfortunately, that’s not even possible. The original ad was a lie. There are not enough this app users in their network to make something like that happen. You need other users to connect to Tile to find your lost items and they have to be right next to the item. Maybe the thief could help you find it if they connected to Tile standing next to your item, but what are the odds of that? I have to be right next to my cloth purse in order for it to find my keys inside it. It works half of the time. The range isn’t even a few feet in a normal (not steel) house in the same room. I had to throw away 3 tiles I had never used (not cheap,) because they make them stop working after close to a year. It didn’t tell me that when I bought those ones. It’s a great idea in theory, but there are other similar products with better range or that work with better technologies. It can’t even find your car in your driveway if you’re standing right next to it, so it definitely can’t help you figure out where you parked. Very disappointing.

I love Tile; I’m really prone to losing things so Tile isnperfect for me and gives me the peace of mind that I’m not totally boned if I happen to lose whatever I’ve got a this app attached to (at the moment it’s my car keys.) However, since it runs down my battery pretty quickly and eats up data like crazy, I can’t keep it open, which is the only time when Tile actually works! It would be perfect if you could find a way to make it work even when it’s not actively running on a phone or computer, but since I’d have to leave Tile open whenever I’m out with my keys if I want any hope of finding them quickly after losing then, it hasnt been terribly useful to me since as I said before I can’t leave Tile open, even in the background. Fix this issue and you’ve got a real winner on your hands, but as-is it’s still a great app that works exactly as it’s meant to! Due to that one issue I feel like I just can’t give it a five star rating, but literally everything else about Tile is great!

I was an ecstatic early this app user. Having had some brain glitches that lead to memory issues, among other things, my Tiles literally helped me feel more normal when I no longer had to be stuck at home, after being ready to head out the door, because my keys/wallet/med bag were in the pantry/linen closet/back of the van from putting them there when I grabbed groceries to bring in. My Tiles made such a difference that I continued to receive them as loving gifts... without heart to say that Tiles have been useless 60% of the time for at least a year and a half. My 8-pack birthday gift this year was so sweet (as was the 8-pack one year ago)... but this is the fourth time I’ve tried to find my iPad today and the this app app continues to tell me it’s out of range, until I find it under a pile of laundry/in my file cabinet/or on the seat of a chair we never use, pushed under the table. Yea. Go this app. So good at letting me know my iPad has been found the second it’s in my hands. I’m in the same boat I was pre-this app... only irritated by the many other things which would have been far more helpful in our lives. I’m off to resume the Day’s Search #4...

Left my phone somewhere at Disney. I must have dropped it during the excitement and chaos upon our arrival, I didn’t think about it. I was running solo (husband deployed) with our three young children. We grabbed something to eat and sat at different areas that I thought I put it down and someone picked it up, brought it to security, or who knows?? this app Saved me from back tracking. I simply pressed the this app button, logged online and it located the phone in the parking lot of our hotel. I had left it in the car when we checked in and valet had swooped the car away before I could do my mommy check of ‘do I have everything?’. Rather than dragging my kids everywhere, I simply asked valet to have my car ready downstairs. I grabbed my phone and asked for him to re-park the car. I gave him a nice tip for saving me the hassle. We were able to enjoy Disney sooner than later. Thanks this app!

My husband is a perpetual keys, wallet, and phone misplacer. I've had this app for years but eventually decided to drop a small penny and get him his own tiles. They've saved me from so much panicked house-searching and Tile particularly is so helpful with their map and chiming functionality.

One time my husband lost his keys after we put a this app on them and we couldn't find them for a few days (we weren't looking intently because I have my keys and we only had one car). After using the this app we found out they were in the car so he searched up and down the car with no luck. He then had the this app sing to him, only to find out that his keys were somehow underneath the windshield wipers. Apparently in the days prior he left his keys on the roof of the car and when we backed out, they slid down the front of the car and got stuck in the wiper blade pocket. We seriously never would have found them without this app. Thanks!

The this app itself is really great. I love it, and have many of them. I was excited when they introduced the one with replaceable batteries, so I don’t have to spend $25 each year to get a new one. But Tile uses a ton of battery life. Way too much. The last few nights, I wake up and my phone is at 20-30%. I thought that this was because somebody bumped it off the wireless charger by accident or something. But this afternoon I looked at the battery usage on my phone and saw that it actually was plugged in the whole time, but for some reason Tile was using so much battery that the charger couldn’t keep up. This doesn’t make any sense to me, it would have to be using a lot of power for that to be possible, but it happened. I understand that for the whole crowdsourcing thing to work, you need it to run in the background, but this is too much. I don’t know why all of a sudden it’s been using so much, but I turned off background app refresh and I suggest anyone reading this does the same.

In all seriousness I lose my keys, wallet and to a lesser degree, my phone all the time. I’m also pretty Type A/high strung. Nearly every morning buying before this app I would run late and freak out about my keys and now I just always use this app and it solves the problem ASAP - no time, no stress. I also love the GPS functionality and the fact that I can ding my phone from my keys (had to do that a few times too). I’ve had Tiles for over 3 years now. Love their long battery and the fact that they offer you retile discounts and reminders. Will say that some of my older model ones will once in a blue moon not ring and just “buzzz” but overall couldn’t be happier. It’s loud enough to hear in a large house if you just walk around to find it. love love love - great product that I really use - can’t wait to upgrade to the newer sport models, once I do my next retile,and see if they’re even louder!

My husband had the brilliant idea to put a this app on our cats collar. I thought he was being ridiculous to be honest because our cat is only an inside cat. Well tonight when I was getting ready for bed I noticed I didn't have my little buddy with me. We looked around the house and the this app was not finding her. We decided to drive around our neighborhood and with the this app app open we’d keep searching. Well within five minutes, we were able to locate her. She was so scared hiding in a drain. I got out of the car and ran towards the noise of the this app. And when she heard my voice she came out. My husband is a pilot and is gone many nights at a time and this cat is my little companion. Plus she brings so much joy to our kids. This precious kitty is part of our family and there is no way in hell we would have found her without the this app!!! So impressed

I am well known in my family for misplacing things, so one of my sons got me a few Tiles for Christmas 2015. They and Tile have been helpful locating items around the house but then I lost my keys at Newark Penn Station on December 5, 2017. Tile reported the last location and I went back and searched to no avail.

I thought that was the end it, but then on January 4, 2018, the this app App notified me that they were detected in Hoboken Terminal (a completely different train line and a place I would have never checked). It turns out that they were turned in to the terminal’s Lost & Found 2 days after I lost them and the day before I filed a Lost & Found report with the train line. (So much for the efficacy of their database!)

We got the keys back because the this app App detected my 2 year old this app, even though it was long past its replacement date. I am very impressed!

Bought a set of 4 Tiles to track family keys—even with a Black Friday discount, I spent $100. And what do I find at every turn within Tile that manages these pricey little baubles? Relentless advertising for the premium service, on page after page.

-Trying to familiarize myself with Tile , I encountered ad pages and boxes littering the space, making it hard to find actual functions.
- When I chose Dismiss on some top-of-page promotions, rather than Remind Me Later, the same promotion reappeared every time I returned to that page of Tile .
- Even on the Settings page, half of the first screen is filled with Premium options, rather than the settings I needed, which were shunted onto a second screen.

This really turns me off. I paid no little sum for this bit of tech, and though I appreciate their need to promote their services, I am very annoyed at the heavy advertising hand that slows down and muddles my ability to use the tool I just paid for.

After all, once you’ve set up your Tiles, you are only in Tile at points of impatience and frustration. A month from now, when I’m looking for keys a teenager abandoned in a backpack somewhere in the house, I am not going to stop to pay a company $20-30 for...anything. Extra location tracking or extra usernames at that point will be beside the point—I will just want the bloody keys. An ad that gets in my way will just make me crazier.
