Review on ๐Ÿ” Tile Pro (2018) - 2-Pack - Findiitโ„ข Discontinued by Manufacturer - Limited Stock Alert by Eric Avina

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fix for an overly sensitive tile button.

Carrying the keys in your pocket WILL often result in unwanted activations of the Find Phone feature, and sometimes simply manipulating the keys will activate to use them. Once that happens, to disable your phone, you need to open the tile app, tap the phone icon in the app, and then exit. Correction: I just received a tile case from Amazon. There's enough room in the case to put a couple of pieces of plastic (cut out of an empty bottle in our recycling bin) over the button to make it less sensitive. This causes the tile to require a harder button press to activate the Find My Phone feature. I think I can live with that now. Until I got the case, I went into my phone's apps and force-closed the tile app, which prevented my phone from picking up the tile signal until I restarted the app. I'm leaving the rating at 2 stars because I had to find a solution to the problem myself. This is a problem that the manufacturer can easily fix. Currently, double-tapping the tile button activates the Find My Phone feature. If it had taken 4 clicks instead, I assume this would never have happened.

Pros
  • Ring your things: Use your smartphone to ring the Tile Pro when it's nearby but out of sight.
Cons
  • Crumpled
