        I haven't looked into the specifics of this model but it might be worth checking if it uses the app and other people as a network- I know some "find me" devices use other user's phones to search also.

          All the Tile models use other people's devices as a "find me" network.

          • CheeseBeans on 29/04/2021 - 17:08

            @robinCTS: Yep, thought that might be the case, in that case it's probably a decent solution, not as good as a dedicated solution but better than nothing

          • entropysbane on 29/04/2021 - 19:31

      There was a waterproof version they sold, not sure if it's still available. I've used it on a pet collar and it works well. The only downside is its sealed so you cant change the battery. Lasts a year or so from memory.

      I attached one onto my keys, as I have never lost my keys in public, but have sat my keys in a weird spot at home and lost them there a few times. Now, since I've had one, I haven't needed to use it, but it's nice to have.

    • tight-ass on 29/04/2021 - 17:02

      If this is the same as the Tile Pro it has a button on it that you can press that will make your phone ring, even if it's on silent!

      Probably not much use for you though as you don't seem like the sort of person that would misplace their phone :)

      • slapz on 29/04/2021 - 17:31

        Not sure if it's common knowledge but for Google Home owners, you can ask it to ring your phone. Obvious caveat is it's only useful for around the home :p

        I've found that to be much more reliable than pressing the Tile button.

    • Praeto on 29/04/2021 - 17:02

      I used to use them on my drones for when they went down in bush. Quite often you can get close to it and still not spot it. In general though I found the Tiles fairly useless because no one else in my area seems to use them. I'll be giving Airtags a go.

      • tight-ass on 29/04/2021 - 17:06

        Apparently they're bringing out a new version/model this year with Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology that gives far greater precision and range!

    • Shwayne on 29/04/2021 - 17:09
      +2

      I put the tag in my backpack / favourite jacket etc. It warns you when you've left something behind, and easily allows you to find it.

      For me it ensures peace of mind without having to check my backpack is still around if I leave it in the corner of a public area etc.

      You could attach it to your keys but I don't find that useful as I don't often misplace them, and the tag is a little bulky.

      Think of it as "Find my phone" but it supports non-tech things that can hold it.

    • bunnybash on 29/04/2021 - 17:13

      Car keys. My wife loses her car keys 2 times a week, somewhere around the house. I've tried all the different key storage ideas, she still forgets to use them. This means that we don't waste 15 minutes looking for keys several times a week.

      • this is us on 30/04/2021 - 00:48

        You need a kind of box at the entrance, and a wife who learns that she should drop the keys in the box. It's more about routine and getting used to it. After a few weeks, that's automatic.

          unfortunately some spouses can't be 'trained' unless they themselves think it's a habit worth implementing.

          I know someone who's installed a widget on his iphone to ping his wife's samsung phone - also super handy when she's out of the house and doesn't pick up her phone cos it's on silent.

    • watts on 29/04/2021 - 17:15

      I use the Tile on my keys to find my iphone a lot. (Press tile button twice and it plays a loud tune on the phone, regardless of phone volume setting) .

      I've tied to the kids at music festival, but didn't loose any unfortunately so mrs still thinks it's a waste of money. It did let me relax a bit more though.

    When the time comes and travel becomes normal, these will be great to put in your checked in luggage. Did a recent trip and found that these can give you a peace of mind and let you know where your stuff is. Other uses are if you are sending an expensive item through post, you can put them in as an additional tracking measure. And of course, you can tag your keys with them, or even put one in your car, in case it gets stolen.

    • ATangk on 30/04/2021 - 10:38

    I put this on my stethoscope hoping to locate it if I leave it behind in different wards. But it was useless as it only works if I was in the same room. I tried to show this off in front of a bunch of nurses and they laughed at me. Felt I wasted money.

          Again, only if you want to use it on a keyring.

    Our family has so many apple products around the home (3 appletvs, 2 MacBook pros, 1 imac, 1 iPad and 5 phones) so I'm quite the apple fan. I also have one Tile pro for my keys, which I would use weekly, whether it be to locate my keys, or phone). This is a great buy. I was a little disspappointed the airtag won't have a button on it to locate your iphone; it's so useful on the Tile to just click the bottom without needing to log onto iCloud (the alternative if you've lost your iPhone and don't have a Tile). When the airtage v2.0 come out, I'm sure they'll realise they missed that awesome feature. Anyway, great bargain.

      "If I were to make recommendation, I’d say you go with Tile. Apple’s Find My platform is now open to 3rd parties & it’s just matter of time before Tile is compatible with it. This gives you more options, more colors, & insurance coverage on tagged devices if you lost it ($1,000 for lost items).

        I'd say it is more of a hedge. Pretty easy to exit out of if you want to.

      • Smigit on 30/04/2021 - 00:45

        With Tile looking to fight Apple in court over Find My in the US, I can’t see them supporting the platform too soon. After those proceedings close maybe they’ll join in. Right now they’re probably the last in line to be jumping on board.

        Nothing to say the Tile you buy today would support it but even if Tile adopt the platform. Chipolo are getting support but it needs a new model to use Find My.

        Anyway, if Find My is important to you get a device that supports it today. Betting on tech companies to support third parties often doesn’t pan out, or you can end up waiting a long time or find you need to replace your hardware with a newer model to get those features.
