First Time Tile User ImpressionsBy Artoo
When I first saw the Tile (as a kickstarter project I think), I thought it looked awesome. After having tested the Tile, there's a few things I wish it had, and a few trouble spots.
1. Needs User replaceable batteries
When the battery goes out, you have buy a new Tile at a reduced price. I wish that you could replace the battery with a standard watch battery.
It seems like a big waste to have to buy a new one. The battery lasts for a year. Times the replacement price by how many tiles you have, and they've basically got a subscription model on their hands.
2. Tile Thickness is too much
This being the second generation Tile, I thought it'd be smaller and thinner.
It's very well designed and looks great, but you almost need a special key ring for this thing because the Tile is so thick. I have a hard enough time just trying to get a new key on a key ring.
3. Location services (now who can track me)
I disabled location services. I don't need one more device (and company) knowing where I'm going. The device still works without it. Turing off the location services just means it can't find your phone when you press the "e".
4. No sticky stuff
Some of the advertising says you can stick the Tile to stuff, but mine didn't come with any adhesives, just the tile.
5. Additional Keyring needed
Since the Tile is so thick, it would have been handy if it came with a keyring that was made for it.
All that said, the Tile is a great device. Hopefully this review has helped manage expectations a bit.

Surprisingly great but not consistently...By messy cat
I bought this as a pet tracker even though they don't necessarily recommend it for that use. I have a cat that tends to wander off but never very far. I figured with a 100 foot radius + me walking around enough I'd be able to track her down.
I tested it like crazy with all her usual hiding spots to make sure it'd work for me and that I wouldn't have to return it and was very impressed that it surpassed the 100 foot range by quite a bit. I didn't actually measure, but I counted my steps. 95 steps away and it still kept a connection. Excellent!
Before I put it on her collar, several times a day I'd activate it with her nearby so it plays its tune, and I'd give her a treat. Hoping she'd learn to hear the tune and come home for a treat. Well that part worked. When she's in range, I click "find" to play the tune and she runs home for her treat. Or perhaps she's running home because she's freaked out about this music that's chasing her. Either way, success!
The only downfall is that sometimes she's 10 feet away and it will say "out of range". If I stand there long enough it does usually connect, but it's frustrating to wait for it to catch up. Also, the dotted circle that's supposed to tell you if you're getting hot or cold isn't always very accurate. So I find myself walking back and forth quite a bit feeling like I'm being punk'd by my own cat.
All in all, it's surpassed my expectations. I've been able to find her every time. Sometimes it takes a lot longer since it has trouble connecting at times. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could, but since I can't, I'll give it 5 since I'm using it for something it's not even advertised to do, and it's still doing it quite well.

These things work really well!By Cory Landers
Tile started out as a Kickstarter project back in 2013. I just completed my first cycle with the original (Gen 1) tile and highly recommend them. I got 4 of them with my original purchase. The batteries last a bit over a year and on average I used the app about twice a month to locate my keys/bag.
A couple things to consider based on some complaintes i see below. Once activated the tile battery lasts a bout a year (Mine lasted slightly over a year). The replacment cost was less than half of the original purchase price ($12/per tile). I didn't mind replacing my tile as as they replace them with the newest generation with new features and for the fact that my original tile was pretty beat up after a year. Support is really good, you can simply go to their site and click the chat button to talk with someone if you have questions.
