Tile Performance Pack Bluetooth Item Finder Set

The Tile Performance Pack Bluetooth Item Finder Set is a selection of Tiles to help keep track of many different things. Keep track of more for less with our multi-packs or give them to your friends and family as a gift.

I have had several different Bluetooth tags on my bag, and I was hoping that this one would finally solve the problem, but it doesn’t. The earlier tags were all designed to alarm on my phone and the bag if I walk away from the bag. While the Tile premium service includes free battery replacement and smart alerts, all Tile products still work without the need for a premium subscription:

• With Tile, you have a backup plan when you’re heading out and your keys are nowhere to be found. Just tap “Find” in the Tile app and the Tile on your keys will ring. Watch the Tile Detector’s green rings fill in as you get closer to them.
• Use your voice to find things around the house. Just ask Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to find your remote, keys or anything else with a Tile on it. It’s easy to set up and hands-free finding is even faster.
• Lose your phone? Use any Tile, like the ones on your keys or wallet, to make your phone ring. Just double press the Tile logo button (on Sticker, button is on the side). It works even if your phone is on silent.
• If you lose something when you’re out and about, Tile can help you locate it. View its most recent location on a map. It’ll show you the last time it was with you or the last time your Tile app was able to locate it.
• Lost Tile? Now you can add your contact info so you can be reached when someone scans the QR code on the back of it.
• You can also tap “Notify When Found” so the Tile Network — every phone running the Tile app and our Network Extenders — can help locate your lost item. Each device on our network is able to help locate Tile trackers and send location updates to your Tile app. Anonymously, of course.

Tile Performance Pack Bluetooth Item Finder Set Review

Its predecessor (different manufacturer) worked just fine but was a poor quality construction meaning that the battery contacts were not reliable, but it did everything and at a much lower price and no subscription.

This one is good sturdy construction and I’m confident that it would work reliably.

The subscription service is well thought out especially as it will use signals from your Tile device being detected by the phones of other Tile users to help find where your item is now. The packaging is unfortunately destructive – you have to pull a tear strip to open it, and if it were not for this then I would return it and request a refund. I can’t say it doesn’t work as described because reading the description carefully it doesn’t say anywhere that it will alert if you walk away from your device.

Overall, the Tile Performance Pack Bluetooth Item Finder Set is well constructed, and good looking.
