### 2/5 — Makes you download life 360 to add a new tile.

*2026-09-01, version 2.146.0*

Not cool.

### 3/5 — Inconsistent

*2026-08-29, version 2.146.0*

It’s a great product in many ways. The truth is that there’s been times that I have been within feet of the device and Tile said that I wasn’t in range to find it. 🧐

### 2/5 — Good?

*2026-08-28, version 2.146.0*

Sometimes it works other times it doesn’t 
I don’t like when you acid push the alarm you can’t turn it off by clicking the actually item you have

### 3/5 — Keys/I had my finder on and it made the noise, but it doesn’t zero in on where my keys are.

*2026-08-27, version 2.146.0*

I still have not found my keys. But the sound is still beeping, but nothing on here shows how close I am or how far I am.

### 5/5 — Total lifesaver

*2026-08-26, version 2.146.0*

So so helpful all the time.

### 5/5 — App

*2026-08-26, version 2.146.0*

Lovely device, once it has been connected the melody with lead to your item

### 5/5 — Tile is good

*2026-08-26, version 2.146.0*

Very good.

### 5/5 — Great help

*2026-08-25, version 2.146.0*

One day I lost my keys. I was on vacation and if it wasn’t for the tile, I wouldn’t be able to find them because they were in the middle of the seats and just this morning. I just found my wallet I couldn’t find it. This is one of the best things that I have bought!!!!

### 5/5 — Blessing

*2026-08-25, version 2.146.0*

It’s a life saver

### 5/5 — Yes!!!

*2026-08-24, version 2.146.0*

Have found wallets, keys phone so many times with tile!!!   Keeps us sane!

### 3/5 — Accidentally press the tile

*2026-08-24, version 2.146.0*

I rarely lose my phone, but a couple times a year I grab my keys and accidentally set off ‘Search for phone’. Not ideal, but it’s okay.

### 3/5 — Functionally good to find things but privacy and performance concerns

*2026-08-24, version 2.146.0*

The functionality of the Tile to find things like misplaced keys or phones is very very good. But it’s not clear why the app says location tracking has to be always on for full reimbursement of items(a privacy issue). Also, the Tile device with an always exposed button is a poor design, because it easily gets pushed inadequately in one’s pocket.

### 2/5 — Low battery warnings premature

*2026-08-24, version 2.146.0*

A few of my tiles have prompted me with low battery, replace tile warnings, but at least one of those has been like that for at least a year and is still working fine. This feels like a tactic to get users to buy new tiles prematurely and spend more than they need to. I wish the low battery warning was a more accurate representation of when it was time to replace the tile.

### 5/5 — It really does help me.

*2026-08-24, version 2.146.0*

THANK YOU!!!

### 5/5 — It works when you need it!

*2026-08-23, version 2.146.0*

The few times I’ve used it, I’ve been thankful I had it. :)

### 1/5 — Used to be great now useless

*2026-08-31, version 2.146.0*

Really this used to be a real life saver. This morning you had the song working for finding my item going then in the middle of it you just switched to “notify when found” and I don’t have the option to play the tune again. You are now useless. I just need to keep playing the tune until I win this infernal game of hide and seek with myself and get to drive to work. I know the key are on my darn property, just let me hit the find button, you jerks of app developers!

### 1/5 — Tile recovery

*2026-08-30, version 2.146.0*

Not making any sound, and doesn’t even show location!

### 1/5 — Works great but wants to know where I am

*2026-08-27, version 2.146.0*

Why? Why must I be tracked constantly? Can’t it work some other way.

### 1/5 — Waste of cash

*2026-08-24, version 2.146.0*

Please don’t buy

### 1/5 — I don’t need a review I need my keys

*2026-08-23, version 2.146.0*

I need my keys now not a review

### 1/5 — Not functioning

*2026-08-16, version 2.146.0*

Very slow and delayed and location history does not load

### 1/5 — Not sure what version

*2026-08-16, version 2.146.0*

Sometimes it does not ring like right now and the ring is really low.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-16, version 2.146.0*

Garbage

### 1/5 — Tile Review

*2026-08-12, version 2.146.0*

This service is a D minus on its best day with poor AI only support

### 1/5 — It’s not very helpful

*2026-08-07, version 2.146.0*

It’s not very helpful when you have to get Read on top of the item you’re looking for for it to actually go off that is not very helpful

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — It helped my find my keys

*2026-09-01, version 2.146.0*

Without tile my keys would be forgotten. I was riding my bicycle the keys fell and some young guy picked them up and took them home at that point no amount of tracing my steps would have solved the problem but Tile was able to access its broader network and pin point it to exact address I went there with police for safety but the retrieval was as simple as a handshake. Thanks Tile am definitely a religious believer now.

### 5/5 — Amazing product better than Apple AirTag

*2026-08-31, version 2.146.0*

I use these for my work keys for the remote control for the TV for my bag that has my credit cards in it and it has the cool feature. If you can’t find your phone you could just double click the Tile on your phone. I’ll start making a sound.

### 5/5 — Never lose

*2026-08-31, version 2.146.0*

I never lose my keys or wallet now, that I have Tile!! Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Reliable

*2026-08-31, version 2.146.0*

I love having tile for my things and I can pair it to life 360

### 5/5 — These are life savers!

*2026-08-31, version 2.146.0*

Mostly I use them for my car and house keys and it saves a lot if time!

### 5/5 — Yeah

*2026-08-30, version 2.146.0*

Yes

### 5/5 — Love my tile

*2026-08-30, version 2.146.0*

I love my tile. Helps me find my keys when I can’t find them❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Saves my sanity

*2026-08-28, version 2.146.0*

My 8 year old son bought Tile for me for Mother’s Day and it has made our lives so much better and getting out the door faster.  TY Tile for helping my family!

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-08-28, version 2.146.0*

The tile is the best item/app I have ever purchased. I lose/misplace my phone daily! I lost my purse, which had my keys in them. I was 3 1/2 hours away from home. I used my phone to locate the tile that was on my car’s keychain. I was in a big city and was so thankful it hadn’t been stolen. P.S I do have ADHD. I highly recommend it to anyone who loses everything.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-08-27, version 2.146.0*

Very good
