I have had several different Bluetooth tags on my bag, and I was hoping that this one would finally solve the problem, but it doesn't. The earlier tags were all designed to alarm on my phone and on the bag if I walk away from the bag. Yes, this one will do that BUT ONLY IF YOU PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION at £2.50 per month if you sign up for a year else £2.99 per month.Without the subscription you can only trigger an alarm from one end or the other by pressing a button, and you can find out where the bag was last seen, but that's no good if you've walked off and left it behind and then someone has taken it.Its predecessor (different manufacturer) worked just fine but was a poor quality construction meaning that the battery contacts were not reliable, but it did everything and at a much lower price and no subscription.This one is a good sturdy construction and I'm confident that it would work reliably.The subscription service is well thought out especially as it will use signals from your Tile device being detected by the phones of other Tile users to help find where your item is now. The subscription also includes free battery replacement.The packaging is unfortunately destructive - you have to pull a tear strip to open it, and if it were not for this then I would return it and request a refund. I can't say it doesn't work as described because reading the description carefully it doesn't say anywhere that it will alert if you walk away from your device.So, bottom line: well constructed, good looking, expensive subscription though well thought out, but doesn't meet my needs.

Terrible, it will find the phone fine, but when you want to find the tile it works about 1 time out of every 20 and doesn't work from a distance of more than a couple of meters away.I bought tile instead of a cheap knock off because I thought that they'd work much better bud sadly I was wrong. Sometimes it doesn't even find my keys when I'm right next to them! It's basically an expensive weight in your keys, I'll be returning my tile and I strongly discourage anyone from buying this product.

This is a late review but had to leave one now since saved us early hours of the morning from a burglary. The perpetrator got a hold of the car keys after breaking and entering into my house and it set the alarm off on my partners phone which woke us all up and caught him in the act. The man left with nothing and also left all his belongings he used to break in. I highly recommend this product due to the perks of it and from saving us a lot of money with the items he could have stolen and also ensured the safety of my family! The burglar was not even aware he had activated this alarm and was still holding the keys when my partner went down the stairs. Thankyou!

I've had RF key finders for a few years and they've got me out of many a predicament. So when the last ones stopped working, I decided to go up a notch and bought the 4pack tile mate. Barely audible unless the speaker is face up and very poor range - pretty much need to be in the same room. Right now I'm looking at my dog 10 feet away through a pane of glass and it can't find the tile around his neck!! If you need to find keys in your own house like I do, then just go with a well recommended RF key finder instead. Much better range, much louder, much cheaper. And while the Tile may have some utility for lost kids or pets in a maojr urban centre, my experience in a mid-size town is the tiles are invisible once out of bluetooth range..

I bought one of these for my wife after she accidentally mislaid her car keys. Initally we were happy with the set up and almost looked forward to the ease by which we'd be able to resolve the issue in future.A week or so passed by when my wife started to complain that her Fitbit wasn't working and was refusing to sync its data to her phone. She then noticed that her wireless headphones were also not connecting. Simple enough, Bluetooth was disabled, so she re-enabled it. And then again and again and again, once every hour she needed to check if Bluetooth was still enabled. It was always off!We spent a few days investigating as she'd only recently received the Android 10 (Galaxy S9) update on her phone, but there was nothing obvious as to why this was happening. And then we remembered the Tile.Looking further into the Tile support site and FAQs and it seems Bluetooth instability has been a major issue for them in the past. We tried every option available to us to stop the Tile app from putting Bluetooth to low power/sleep or stopping it but nothing would work. Well, nothing short of uninstalling Tile, which we did and the problem was gone. As is the Tile as we've just returned it to Amazon, sorry but "ain't nobody got time for that!"If you're an Android user I would seriously think twice about getting one of these, or at the very least test it thoroughly when you get it with other Bluetooth devices.

As a regular tile user, this is no different. Easy to use, worry free battery life and small & light. The usual criticisms are that the range is hampered by walls and other obstructions (cant get around that one). The mate was a cheaper option for a cat tracer, which works fairly well as a backup. Connection can be hit and miss, sometimes taking a few app restarts until it connects.

..... it seems like I "misplace" my keys or my iPhone on a daily basis and normally when I'm late for work. I use this far more regularly than I ever thought I would - it's quick and easy to use - the app is simple / intuitive - takes 30 seconds normally to find the phone or keys and I'm out of the door. Not sure how I survived without this to be honest. My blood pressure must be lower now though....

It's only useful if the thing you have lost is in your house, if you lose anything in the rest of the world it's pretty useless, no GPS, no ability to find your item on a map outside of Bluetooth range. Tried it out in Central London no one with another tile walked past it at all. So no chance of retrieving anything lost in the city. Does not remember the location if your Bluetooth is turned off on your phone which can drain the battery. Overall a bit of a waste of money.
