The Tile Mate is a Bluetooth tracker that helps you keep track of everyday items like keys, backpacks, and wallets. With a range of up to 250 ft and water-resistant design, this device can be used to locate lost items and ring your phone if it gets misplaced. Compatible with Android™ and Apple® devices, Tile Mate also features voice-assisted finding with Alexa, Google, and Siri.
The Tile Mate app is free and makes it easy to find your Tile Mate when it’s within Bluetooth range. If your Tile Mate is outside of Bluetooth range, you can use the Tile app to view its most recent location on a map. Plus, with the ability to double press the button on your Tile Mate to make your phone ring, even when it’s on silent, you’ll never have to worry about losing your phone again.

I bought this as my cat likes to wonder off and when I’m calling her to come home I don’t know if she’s gone travelling far away or if she’s close by. The tile does not bother my cat even though she’s a small cat (3.8kg), and it’s a good size and weight. The app is easy to use. When she is close by the app will allow me to ring her tile, so I can hear it or see how close she is (signal strength). But when she’s far it will show there’s no signal. If I walk around the garden I can get a signal if she’s close by. When she’s far away there is no signal so at least it lets me know if shes close by or not. I discovered that when I’m calling my cat to come home sometimes she’s just ignoring me and is 2 gardens away, which is a relief as I get worried if she goes far away. I can even ring my phone from the tile even if it’s on silent so It’s useful when I mis place my phone. Overall this tile is very useful and somewhat accurate, so I don’t know why there are so many bad reviews. For a bluetooth tracker it does a good job and gives me a peace of mind. So far the tile is always right about where or how far my cat is and I’ve had no issues with connection. The price is also really good.

Used this Tile product for the first time. Easy to sign up using the Tile App. This unit is good for 250 ftUsed a different product before but now out of business. This seems to be working very well so far. Can not say anything about claimed battery life – we will see. It was a good purchase for Black Friday price.

The Tile starter pack is exactly as described by seller. Works fantastic and arrived on time. Gives you peace of mind for the items you need to keep track of. The price by this seller on Amazon was a few dollars cheaper than purchasing directly from Tile plus free shipping is always a nice perk!! The product works great. I highly recommend purchasing the Tile starter pack from this vendor. I would purchase again without hesitation. Definitely 5+ STARS for product and customer service.

These work on Bluetooth so are limited in range, but they will work, and the app is easy. The disadvantage is that if your phone volume is set low, these don’t override the setting. So at low volume with no vibration, they won’t help at all. If you are looking for something else like your keys, the little song they play isn’t loud either. A loud “beep” would be better. Maybe you can change that (I have just received mine), but it should be louder.Finally, can we stop making things with non-replaceable, non-rechargeable batteries please?

OMG! I lost my keys in the grocery store and had to pay to have a locksmith get me into my house to get my spare car keys. Then I heard about this device A couple of $100 too late, but I learned my lesson. This connects to my phone which I can use to find my keys. Works great. You can even find your keys at home if you misplace them. Whatever you misplace a lot, attach one of these. Get this before you need it! It will pay off in many ways.

Bought 6 of these Tiles for family at Christmas, It was great to see that although each paired with different phones they did not interfere with other phones. These devises have a function that uses Bluetooth to call the misplaced phone through Bluetooth, however when they are pressed, they will not set off any other phone that is paired to another tile, but will only call the phone that the unit is paired with.They also have a function to tell you where your keys or Tile are when they are within 50 meters range, or alternatively if they are out of range, they will tell you where the Tile was when it was last in range.The battery is non replaceable but that it has a 3-year battery life.The installation of the Tile onto the phone is simple, just by scanning a QR code on the box, and then following the instructions on the screen to install the App onto your device and pairing it. The process took less than 5 mins from start to finish.It is excellent value for money and I would highly recommend the device.

My husbands always leaving for work asking everyone – where’s my phone!? Or where’s my keys!? He would literally tear up the door house frantically looking for his keys! (And if course, where we’re they the whole time we were looking for them?? Right in front of him either at his desk or bedside table it even in his coat pocket!!!) So, after having enough of this craziness, I went to Amazon and got him this as a gift (and a savior, lol) and he hasn’t asked us where his keys and /or phone is since!! THANK YOU TILE!!!!!

I love tile products. I lose everything and these help me find the important stuff. You can find your keys by clicking a button in their app. My favorite feature is that it let’s me “call” my phone if I’ve misplaced it too by clicking the button on the fob.

As someone who’s always losing their keys, the Tile Mate has been a game-changer for me. I used to spend so much time searching for my keys before leaving the house, but now I can easily find them with the Tile Mate.Likes:The range is impressive, up to 250 ft. This means I can locate my keys even if they’re in another room or in my bag.The app is user-friendly and easy to use. I can ring my Tile Mate to help me locate it, and I can also see its last known location on a map.The water-resistant feature is great for those accidental spills or if I get caught in the rain.Dislikes:The battery isn’t replaceable, so I have to buy a new Tile Mate every year or so.The Tile Mate is a bit bulky, so it can add some extra weight to my keychain.Comparison:The Tile Mate is similar to other Bluetooth trackers like the Tile Pro and the TrackR Pixel. However, I prefer the Tile Mate because of its longer range and water-resistant feature.

Works well enough, its not super accurate but would work to licate something you lost or forgot. They do make you pay for a mothly subscription to see the recent locations of your tile, which arent very accurate, but atleast the charge was only a couple dollars a month

I lost my car key in 2018. $424 later, i bought a tile. I like the ones with replaceable batteries even better. However, i bought this one in 2021. I went to Petsmart and had my car key in my pocket. I don’t know how it fell out, but i left and couldnt find it. I got home, and looked for the key, couldn’t find it. The msg stated not conneted. i looked at the last place it connected.. Petsmart. I was outside Petsmart, but itstill didn’t connect. Had my car towed to the dealership. Now the cost is $500 for the same key. I went back inside Petsmart and looked again for my key. App said key is nearby! I asked staff, they said it wasn’t there. I told them my phone is saying my key is here! After i kept insisting my key was there, it rang in the manager’s office. I got my key!. I called the dealer and saved $500. No better rating. BTW, I did not buy the $99 rate for 30 day history. SUCH A DEAL! Thank you thank you!

I’m sad that I hadn’t found this sooner! All my lost wallets, phones, keys…I lose everything. I saw this on a friends LTK and was curious what it was. Looked into it, and thought ok, why not. I can’t wait to get more! The price is fantastic, it’s small and cute (not an eyesore at all), and is loud enough that I will be able to hear it in a crowd, or far away. I’m so happy I stumbled upon this, and can’t wait to get more!

My son in law only has one key fob for the Subaru he bought second hand. Replacements are hard to get and expensive. Fear of losing only one was nerve wracking. Now he has this on it, he never has to worry. He said getting it set up was easy.

We bought one a while ago for my wife . She kept misplacing her car fob. Then she start miss placing her glasses. Then she started miss placing her purse. Funny after we bought two or three of these things for all the things that she’s laying down and miss placing we haven’t used the tile yet to try it out. She mysteriously started to get organized.
Person to Person Reviews –
Yes, I would have found my key fob eventually, once in the pocket of a coat in the closet, another time when the fob fell behind a hall table… BUT… here’s the thing: I didn’t have to institute a search just about the time I was ready to leave the house and didn’t have time to waste. A quick tap or two on my phone and the little tile began singing cheerfully. All I had to do was follow the sound. The app also keeps track of the tile’s last location, so all in all I would call this a wise purchase. I have Tiles on both of my (very expensive) key fobs and a thin, credit card shaped Tile in my wallet. Well worth the investment. I haven’t had them long enough to comment on battery life, but will update.

You can customize the sound you hear and it has yet to show that it is dying after a few months of extensive use. You can also use one of the fobs to find other tile fobs. Very neat and great for people who tend to misplace their stuff.
