Tile Essentials (2020) 4-pack

The truth. Nice system but you have to be almost on top of it. The disadvantage is that Bluetooth is a bad system for this kind of thing because the range is very limited. You can forget about the distances that Tile claims because in practice it rarely works. You also notice in the app that it takes quite a while before it connects. People have the illusion that he keeps a constant connection, but that is often not the case. In particular, reverse tracking, and therefore determining where your smartphone is, often does not work. The smaller and thinner versions have this much worse because of the transmitter/receiver limitations. In short, a nice idea, but the practice is often different and you often DO NOT track down what you would like to find.

Use the product for 4 months now but do not recommend it, Waste of money. Ultimately, you have to search for yourself. Setting up the device is fairly easy. However, my phone can rarely find the tiles. Even if they are next to each other. Recently I really lost my keys (later I found out they were still at work). See where it should be via the app. The last time the tile connected / communicated its location was 6 days before. I can't do anything with that. Even if you indicate that the tile is lost and you put your phone next to the tile, nothing happens. You have to force this. With the "I lost this tile" function, other tile users should also search for your tile. It is unclear to me whether having the app is sufficient or whether you really have to be an active user (with a tile in your possession). I don't think the tile community is that big yet so you won't find tile (quickly) that way (chicken Egg story, because I don't recommend the product). Perhaps there will ever be an app update that ensures that the tiles and the phone synchronize more often / better / smarter.

Had bought it for all kinds of things to make traceable and so is perfect. Is very strong with handy search button in the middle that you can't just press.
