Living in a house with a teenager and a toddler the remote control for the television is always missing. We have spent hours in the past trying to locate the remote only to find it in cereal cupboard or under the stickle bricks. When I was given the opportunity to try the Tile Sticker I jumped at the chance.
The Tile Sticker is a small device which is connected to an app on your phone. The app allows you to ping the Tile Sticker via a Bluetooth connection which then plays a tune so you can locate the missing item. It’s brilliant!
The Tile Sticker is about the size of a 10 pence piece but it is quite thick. The version we have is black. We stuck ours to the back of our remote. It does stick out a bit, but I can live with that if it helps me find the remote quickly. The Tile Sticker has an adhesive sticker which stuck well to the back of the remote. It hasn’t moved. The pack which comes with the Tile also had a spare adhesive sticker which is really useful.
The Tile Sticker was delivered in a small package which is easily recyclable. The delivery was really quick following my communication with the Tile representative.
We have used the Tile Sticker numerous times over the last week or so. It has worked the majority of the time, but you do have to be patient as the app needs time to locate the Tile before playing the tune. This maybe up to a minute. There is also the ability to locate your phone from the Tile Device. I found this quick tricky on the Tile Sticker as the button you need to double click is quick small. It is a good function, however.
The Tile Sticker has a battery which will need to be replaced. Tile suggest that this will need to be done every 3 years.
The Tile Sticker is provided by Life360 and they sell various products which have a similar functionality but for different household products. We used our Tile Sticker in a remote control, but you could stick it on your phone or glasses case, for example. The products they have available are the Tile Pro, the Tile Mate, the Tile Slim which can be used in wallets, keys, bags, and pets for example. These products allow you to locate the product anywhere. People even use them on their luggage. The app will let you know where the Tile is so you can locate your property. Each product has been developed to easier fit into your wallet or attach to your bag or keys.
They also have the Tile lost and found stickers which you can add to your device. These stickers contain your information so a list device can be returned to you.
The price of the Tile Sticker is £25. It is not cheap, but you have to weigh up the annoyance of losing your device against the price of the Tile. I would say it’s well worth it.
The other products are similar in price with no individual item costing more than £35. Tile offer discounts on bundles, and they have a range of colours available.
I would definitely recommend the Tile concept. The products are brilliant and will give you peace of mind in locating your property.
