Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Research before you buy. I'm going on the older version but the company has changed their policy since they issued the product. I don't usually write a review unless an item is either fantastic or terrible. At best, the tiles were fair to good when then picked up the signal, but they are a great concept. Now, Tile had DISABLED all my tiles through the app, only 7 months old and says they have EXPIRED due to battery life. What a coincidence that they all "died" at once??? WHAT A PITIFUL COMPANY I carefully opened two of them with a dremel and found that one battery was still at 3.03 volts and the other was at 2.97 volts. That is what I would expect as they were mostly new and hardly used. I then connected a new lithium coin cell just in case that might jump start the device. No luck. I then put the tile on a proper laboratory power supply to supply the voltage - no luck. Several youtubes state that you can replace the batteries but not now that Tile has disabled old tiles by serial number. When you're time runs out on the tiles you are dead in the water with lost items. Exactly what you are trying to avoid in the first place. Perhaps a class action lawsuit at some point . . . One in the box of 4 was never even activated and it is now 'dead' although the battery is new. And they are EXPENSIVE compared to many other companies that make the same product these days. I would recommend the Nut Tracker device as you can replace the battery and they never expire. The Nut device is about half the price of the Tile and never expires. It isn't as loud as Tile but offers other features that Tile does not offer such as the anti-loss feature (phone beeps if you walk away and leave your device - tile does not do this). I bought them assuming I would just replace the battery and now the company has disabled them. Pretty cheesy deal. Get something else. They won't be around for long once the word gets out about this scheme.
