As the description says, it uses Bluetooth to connect to the device, so it does have a limited range. This isn't a GPS device, meaning you will need to be within a 100 feet or so for it to work, but don't let that deter you. Tile is the most popular product in this niche market, meaning there are a lot of people out there with Tiles of their own, and if they have the Tile app, they can anonymously locate your Tile for you if they are nearby it - which works surprisingly well in a place such as an Airport where people are actively using Tiles.
So why 5 stars? Well here's my story. My wife and I recently traveled to the Bahamas on our Honeymoon. We flew Delta, and had a layover in Atlanta. On the way down, no issues - Tile made it easy when we got to the Bahamas to locate our bag on the carousel, and allowed us to get to Customs before everyone else. The true value of Tile was on the way back. We unfortunately got stuck in Atlanta for TWO DAYS due to a snow "storm". We landed in Atlanta around lunch, and our connecting flight to our final destination was delayed multiple times over 12 hours, then finally cancelled (along with 1,000 other flights). At that point, it was 1:00AM and all we wanted to do was get our checked bag that had all of our clothes, and find a hotel. Well, if it was only that simple... Delta was not allowing people to get their checked bags, and said that the bags would be forwarded along to our final destination at some point, most likely before we would get there. I could go on about how frustrating this was, but in the end Tile saved the day or at least relieved a lot of stress. Since Delta's operations essentially "rebooted" in Atlanta, tracking our bag on the Delta app was useless. When we arrived at the airport to catch our flight two days later, we spoke with Baggage and they said that they didn't know where our bag was. We checked the Tile app multiple times, with no luck on locating it - not surprising because a lot of the bags are held in their storage facility which is away from the terminal, away from Tile users. About 30 minutes before we boarded the plane to our final destination, the gate attendant told us that our bag was already at our home airport and arrived the day before. At this point, nothing on the Tile app, and the Delta app wasn't showing any updates. This news was a little bit of a relief, but at the same time stressful thinking that it's just sitting on the carousel in our airport waiting to be stolen. Fast forward to us sitting on the plane waiting to take off... all of a sudden I get a notification from my Tile app saying that my luggage has been located! Wouldn't you know, it was located exactly at my current location - what does this mean? It was on the plane with me! What a huge relief... Tile is a great product... we landed at our home airport and then the Tile came out on the carousel playing it's little tune and we were on our way home. I want to point out that when the luggage hit the carousel, our bag didn't come out at first - it actually came out about 15 minutes after the rest of the bags for some reason. If we didn't have the Tile app, we wouldn't have known to look for it on the carousel, and if we did, we would have likely walked away to go find Baggage causing more confusion.
This isn't the end for our Tile... we will use it again while traveling, but in the mean time we put it on our cat's collar - he's notorious for "escaping" our house... Haven't had to use it to find him, but if he does escape, it will hopefully help.
Stop thinking - just buy one - they are cheap and extremely useful. Battery lasts a year then you need to buy a new one, but I've spent more money on lunch in a single day - who cares!
After receiving my order, I attempted to activate it via the app (as instructed), but it would not activate (it's supposed to make a ringing sound when you push the "tile" button, indicating that it's in pairing mode). So I returned it and ordered a replacement, which was at my house just two days later. Seems like a great company to deal with.
The replacement tile I received is great! It's a very simple device to operate. Once setting it up via the app on my phone, I can view where it is on a map, and make it ring so that I can find it. I will test it with my drone later today and update my review after I get it a few hundred feet away and pretend that I lost it.
UPDATE
I didn't have to pretend to lose it. After flying my drone a little too high, with a low battery, it began to have a mind of its own and flew out of sight while descending. I activated the Tile app and went on a hunt. I walked around the area I believed my drone must have been in, and sure enough, when I got close enough (probably within half a city block), the apl indicated that I could activate the ringing function in order to locate it. I did, and found it in the gutter of a garage roof. I would never have found it without the Tile. I highly recommend it!
The Tile Mate version looks a bit flimsy and I’m not sure that it will really hold up to being attached to a set of keys that are dragged in and out of pockets and so forth. However, they do make a more robust model that appears to have a sturdier case if this becomes an issue.
Top reviews from other countries
Once received the high quality packaging really enhanced and benefited the experience.
Next the set up in my opinion is great and effortless.To set up you have to just download an app,turn on Bluetooth and the device does the rest.
Within the easy to use app you may find some very unique and interesting features such as the find my phone button which allows you to press a button from your tile which will result in your phone making a noise for you to locate it.
Battery life is great and I have had 0 issues with this product.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for high quality and great value for money!
