Review on Tile Mate (2016) and Tile Slim - 4 Pack (2 x Mate, 2 x Slim) - Manufacturer Discontinued: Find your lost items easily by Joel Miranda

These tiles do not work as promised. Smaller but thicker, I attached it to my keychain. I put the larger but thinner one in my laptop bag. I installed the Tile app on my Samsung 8+. Here are my results: Twice I lost my phone at home. As advertised, I should just press one of my pre-programmed tiles and the phone should start beeping. THAT DOES NOT WORK. Even after I found the phone and clicked the tile *right next to the phone* it didn't work. The only way I can get this to work is if I have my phone in my hand, launch the Tile app on my phone, and then press the physical tile. I went through the settings and the only things that seemed to be related to me were "Auto reconnect" and "Find tiles when app is closed". Both options have been checked, so I don't think there is a solution. Today I lost my keys in the house. I went to my phone, launched the Tile app and she told me she hadn't seen my keys in a month. I searched the mobile app and it found my keys and marked them on the map as somewhere in my house (yes, I knew that). The tile had to start making noises so I could find it and the keys attached to it. Nothing, no sound. I finally found my keys without Thile's help. With the tile right next to the phone, I tried to get the tile to make the noise, but nothing. Eventually I realized that when I compress the tile, it works properly. When I stop compressing it stops working. So once again I had to find the item I had lost before Tile would "find" it for me. Useless. A NOTICE. The tiles on my keychain have never gotten wet and I work in an office (not in a physically demanding environment). However, the tile is already defective (but works out of the box). Don't worry about Tyle, you'll only get upset.
