A credit-card-thin tracker that PCMag names best for wallets. Tom's Guide, though, says it can't recommend relying on it: range topped out at 75 feet, the alarm is hard to hear inside a wallet, the battery is sealed, and Wirecutter no longer recommends Tile at all.
Subscription: Optional: Tile Premium ($2.99/mo or $29.99/yr) adds Smart Alerts for left-behind items and 30-day history; Premium Protect is $99/yr (PCMag)
Top complaints
- Short range and hit-and-miss finding
Tom's Guide's best was 75 feet (50 to 70 typical) against a promised 350, and PCMag couldn't ring it until about 30 feet. Amazon's summary says functionality and findability are mixed, with some owners unable to find their wallets.
- Alarm muffled in a wallet
Tom's Guide struggled to hear the 104 dB alarm beyond about 60 feet or from a room away under laundry, and PCMag lists 'wallet muffles audible alert' as a con.
- Sealed battery and durability worries
The battery can't be replaced (rated three years). Amazon's summary flags durability and battery concerns, including units that don't last a month.
What owners love
- Fits a wallet
3.4 x 2.1 x 0.1 inches and 14 grams (Tom's Guide); PCMag calls it thin and light enough for wallets and purses.
- Works with iPhone and Android, plus SOS
Cross-platform, with two-way finding to ring your phone or an SOS alert via Life360 (Tom's Guide, PCMag).
- Easy to use
Amazon owners call it easy to set up and use, and some describe it as a lifesaver.
