          i literally got banned for a similar use of a popular hashtag as inappropriate. amazing how some comments are allowed and others aren't. that said, you can both have upvotes because i have a sense of humour.

    Thanks OP got 2 👍🏼

  • No stock at office works

  • Just to clarify, if I open the tile app I can make the keys make a noise right?

    • +6

      Yes. The reverse is also true, you can double click the Tile on your keys to make your phone make a noise (if you have bluetooth turned on, they work via bluetooth).

      • Thanks mate. Does the app need to be on/open?

        • +2

          Works well in the background unless you turn your Bluetooth off - then it doesn't work at all!

    • +14

      Yeah but it never works and you constantly have to pair it again or reset the Bluetooth on the device.

      They sent me a replacement saying my device was faulty but the replacement does the exact same thing. Not once when my keys have gone missing has the find function worked. Absolutely useless.

      • +2

        Thanks for the heads up. I’ll pass

      • Completely agree.

      • +4

        Use multiple times a day, no issues. Ymmv

        • +1

          These are very approximate in their location accuracy. I have these (the latest Pro versions) and it proved not only useless in helping me find my wallet, but led me on a wild goose chase. I was out for dinner with friends and realised I'd lose my wallet (I'd placed the Tile Pro in the zippered coin section). After I registered it as lost, the app notified me that it had been found and showed it being in the food court across the road (that I hadn't been inside at all). So I left the restaurant and spent over an hour searching the food court, asking patrons there if they'd seen it, searching the road next to it. Then two hours later a friend found the wallet - at our table in the restaurant where we were having dinner!

          That said, the Bluetooth audio alerts work great when I can't find it at home or in the car - if you're within range, it sings out and is a great stress reliever.

          Just take its map feature with a grain of salt.

        • Maybe thats why. I don't lose my keys multiple times a day, I misplace them maybe once a fortnight.

          Maybe activating it so often stops it from breaking/hibernating whatever it is. However have a key finding device which stops working after a week seems dumb.

      • Same experience here, constantly drops out and every time I've needed to use them they can't connect, either to find my phone or find my keys. I have 4 of them, all the same, complete waste of money.

      • -1

        Wait for apples version of this.

  • +5

    I keep losing my mind - will these help?

    • it will help if you remember to press your phone so that it will beep your mind.

    • +2

      Maybe if you turned them in to earrings?

    • Yep. Take two and call me in the morning.

    • +6

      Only if your mind is within 120 metres.

    • Is one of your teeth blue? Telepathy is not supported.

  • +2

    Never seen these close up and wondering size. Do you think these would work for a pet collar??? Cat/Dog… to big?? Thanks

    • +16

      Same question but for children. Thanks.

      • +2

        Size is OK for a big dog but it's Bluetooth only. It wont help you if the dog wanders off the street.

    Time to short Tile stocks, Airtags incoming imminently!

    • Link?

    • +1

      Yeah been waiting for Airtags to launch. Hopefully an announcement of some sort at WWDC.

      Airtags were mentioned in official support videos briefly before being taken down by Apple.

      • ill probably get some knowing its still cheaper to replace & recode my key fob

  • +4

    Got some of these, Good concept but not too reliable, 1/2 of the time can not find the keys although only less than 5m away. (or vice versa)
    (better than nothing I guess)

    • what's better

      • +23

        Remembering where things are

    • 5m it says 120m

      • +2

        120m in an open field with no interference

        • So if one wall Infront it's down to 5m?

    • What model phone were you using?

  • great product

  • +3

    Apparently you can also get these free with every vaccination shot ;)

    • +5

      I didn't even need to get a vaccination, I just walked near a 5G tower, free tracking molecules for me and all my things. Downside is that the tower also gave me coronavirus.

      • +5

        Oh, those dastardly things! Everything is out to get you. I caught Autism through a vaccination and like you, COVID19 from the 5G tower. How can they let these things happen!

        • By the flying spaghetti monster! The illuminati did it again, didn't they? Time to migrate to the edge of the earth.

      • Have you tried Shungite?

  • Don't know if they have changed it but when I got some of these a few years ago you had to buy a subscription. After the year was up they stopped working unless you were willing to pay for them again. Plus they were really inaccurate (I had them on my cats, and when one was sitting right next to me the app said she was a kilometre away on the other side of the highway). Would never buy again.

  • +2

    I own a few of these. Quite unreliable, it doesn't work when the Bluetooth isn't connected. And it gets disconnected a lot! You'll have to keep reconnecting once in a while which can be bothersome

  • I have the basic one. Is this the one you don't have to replace each year?

  • For those talking about reliability, it seems to be related to how your phone's power management sleeps the app.
    I disabled sleep for the app and this stopped happening, but sadly my battery life really suffered for it.

    This is on Android mind you, I don't know how iphones handle it. But as others have said, Apple have their own alternative on the horizon.

    Looks like Tile Mate and other combinations of Pro colours are also on sale: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/mobile-phones/bluetoot…

  • Good idea for a luggage? O-o

    • +1

      Saves you the effort of using your eyes to find your bags.

      • Loved it.
        Would love putting one in the Suitcase and give it to the airline, only to takeoff and see on my app that it's not in the plane 😏

        • So we've reached the point now where all the checked luggage could theoretically be transmitting and receiving wireless signals the whole flight from passenger phones. Not concerning at all.

    • -1

      No battery allowed in checked bags ?

      • That's not how it works.

        Battery powered devices are allowed , you're not allowed to have stray batteries and power cells.

  • shipping is 4.99 for me, to buy or not to buy? hopefully amazon will price match :)

    • https://www.imore.com/tile-pro-vs-tile-mate-which-should-you…
      "The only real difference between these models is the Bluetooth range, the volume level of the ring"

      Pro appears better in sound and bluetooth range. They mention price of Mate being cheaper however this isn't an issue here.

    • The Tile Pro is was the new 2020 version with a longer (122m) range and a smooth finish.

      The Tile Mate Pro is the 2019 version with a shorter (91m) range and the textured finish.

  • For wallets, i recommend this
    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/tile-slim-bluetooth-track…
    Or the old one for cheaper
    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/tile-slim-bluetooth-track…
    Both dont have replaceable batteries tho, just fits the wallet better.

  • +1

    $79.00 @ Harvey Norman for 4 tiles (not pro). I bought 4 last week and the android experience is somewhat disappointing in comparison to iphone.

    Hot glued one to the tv remote :D

    Got one left and not sure what to do with it.

    • +3

      you can glue to same remote for redundancy :D

      • Ah, good old dual modular redundancy. Triple is better. He needs to buy another tile ;)

  • Bought these from last deal and would like to share my experience. I've put them on my wallet, the alarm is barely audible. The app is ok for me but some people were having Bluetooth interference after downloading it.

  • Interesting.
    Will buy and use as this guide

    https://www.thetileapp.com/en-au/car-finder-tracker-app

  • Read this best key locators guide, May find it interesting.

    I bought few “swift finder “ for $15 clearance. Saved me many times. Best investment. Can use it as selfie button. Warning if your phone and tag seperate. Tested it outdoor - Range with clear line of sight is around 50 m.

  • So basically without Bluetooth on 24/7,its useless?

  • If you’re an apple user I’d wait for apples version of this. They’re coming soon and it’s probably why these are on sale.

  • Having never mislaid my keys because I ALWAYS return them to the same place whilst these may be great they aren't for me. Just another useless piece of technology. Personally if it had GPS then yes but no not these!Others won't agree!!!

  • Is anyone else having trouble "proceeding to payment"? Also now says Back Order - These item(s) generally take longer to arrive.

  • Can you keep track of Pets with these?

    • +1

      Look into electronic fence for pets.

  • If I hide one of these on my Bobcat(CAT 226) would I be able to track it?

    • Yeah, but wouldn't you see it if it was less than 120m away?

      • Ok so useless for what I want it for. Im looking for a tracker so if my bobcat gets stolen I c
        an track its where-abouts?

  • Mine were delivered today. Gave one to a friend. Mine works flawlessly (paired with a Galaxy S10+). My friend has hers paired to an iPhone 11 Max Pro and it immediately had issue with bluetooth and finding the tile. I'd stay away from these if you're pairing it with an iPhone.

    • I got a pair from JB HiFi Miranda this afternoon. Installation was smooth on my iPhone X. I have been using a Tile Mate(2018) for more than a month now without any issues

      • Perhaps she was just unlucky. Either way, glad yours are working.
