Tile Tracking Order Status

Tile is fantastic, yes you have to pay £2.99 or rely on Bluetooth, it's not air tag, but that's ok, it's a small price to pay to wonder, is it worth waiting for my bag or not? As a frequent traveller, it has been a game changer for me, in both free and premium modes.

After a year or so they only work 1/2 the time. Today I. Couldn’t find my wallet. It told me I left it 12 miles from me yesterday at 6:09 pm but I had it at 9:00 pm last night. If I wouldn’t have used it last night I would have been on a goose chase for nothing. Finding my keys it can’t find them 50 % of the time even when you hold it right up to them.

I left my purse at a gas station an hour from where I was staying. I didn't realize this until the next day when I pressed the tile waiting for the ring that would show where it was in my car. Surprise! The app on my phone showed me an address in a town 90 minutes away. I drove to the address and found an apartment building. I followed the signal from weak, to moderate, to strong to very strong. The first door I knocked on had my purse and returned it with everything in it. A big sigh of relief that I didn't have to replace my driver's id and the rest.

Tiles are good for when you lose something in your own house or car. They are rubbish for losing something anywhere else. They only refresh location when you are near them, but not so logical if I've lost something somewhere else. Perhaps its becuase I'm in the Netherlands, and not so many people are using the app, but this was a waste for us. Going to have to go back to using Apple iTags.

Terrible app always crashes and have to reset several times before I can actually locate my item
