Tile is an innovative smartphone application designed to help users locate misplaced items easily. The app utilizes small physical trackers known as 'tiles' that can be attached to various objects, such as keys, wallets, or bags. When an item is lost, users can use the app to determine its last known location within a range of up to 100 feet. This functionality is particularly beneficial for individuals prone to misplacing everyday items, offering a straightforward solution to everyday frustrations.
In addition to tracking misplaced objects, Tile allows users to ring their lost phone, making it easier to locate devices that may be out of sight. The app is user-friendly and integrates seamlessly with the tiles, providing notifications and updates on item status. However, users should note that the physical tiles must be ordered separately, and some feedback indicates that the alert sounds could be louder for better effectiveness.
