Great item shame batteries are not able to be replaced.
I’ve used my tile loads this last year. I’ve lost my phone keys etc and managed to find them no problem. I didn’t realise once the battery runs out you have to replace the whole tile and now one year on I’ve had a message saying my battery is low. This makes it extremely expensive to use and I most certainly won’t be paying out again for another tile. I’ve found a cheaper alternative that allows batteries to be changed. It’s such a shame as I’m sure tile will loose loads of custom. I had 4 of these and if I had realised initially you needed to chuck them when the battery ran out I would have chosen something else. There has to be a way to do it tile so get on it please because otherwise you had a perfect device that worked great

A really really good product
I bought the style tile for my mother who probably spends an hour a day searching for her keys! If you remember the key finders from the 2000s where you whistled for your keys, what a massive improvement! The app is really user friendly and the key ring looks great and looks very strong and tough. Great invention which I think is going to save her hours of time each week!
You replace them yearly at a reduced price but I don’t see this as a bad thing, what keyring last that long anyway and yearly cycle will keep it looking fresh.
I have no regrets and would recommend without hesitation to anyone, the find feature in general public prob has its limitations but then it’s not a £300 GPS unit the size of a coke can.

Tile Saves Time and Stress
In all seriousness I lose my keys, wallet and to a lesser degree, my phone all the time. I’m also pretty Type A/high strung. Nearly every morning buying before tile I would run late and freak out about my keys and now I just always use Tile and it solves the problem ASAP - no time, no stress. I also love the GPS functionality and the fact that I can ding my phone from my keys (had to do that a few times too). I’ve had Tiles for over 3 years now. Love their long battery and the fact that they offer you retile discounts and reminders. Will say that some of my older model ones will once in a blue moon not ring and just “buzzz” but overall couldn’t be happier. It’s loud enough to hear in a large house if you just walk around to find it. love love love - great product that I really use - can’t wait to upgrade to the newer sport models, once I do my next retile,and see if they’re even louder!

I use this to fine and call my cats. Would love if it could go further
Does not respect the silent switch
I find this great and have been using Tile for many years. However, in more recent iterations of their product, they have added a feature that allows you to ring your phone from a tile. Sounds handy, but unfortunately this functionality is mandatory; you cannot turn it off.
It can accidentally trigger easily if the tile is in your pocket (say, tracking a set of keys or a wallet). I've asked for years, but the makers will not add the option to disable this. It has meant that on more than one occasion where I've been in a situation where phones should be set to silent, my phone has rang loudly because I moved in my seat.
So if you buy into tile, know that you won't be able to switch your device to silent anymore. In cinemas, interviews, libraries, anywhere. I find the product GREAT, and use it regularly, but I will have to give it one star until this half thought out feature is fixed.
Incidentally, when contacting tile about this issue, they say they have no plans to offer users the choice of turning it off, and suggest I turn off Bluetooth to fix it (which would of course disable use of my Watch, headphones, Tiles themselves, and many other Bluetooth devices I use regularly).

If only the battery was replaceable
The one thing preventing it from getting a perfect review. I've tried TrackR before and I didn't like the audio quality on that. The fact that I can clearly hear the tone from the Tile out weighs the cost of not being able to replace the battery.
Where are my keys...
