Many of us encounter tricky moments almost every day, when we forget where we kept our car keys, wallet or purse. This usually happens when we are about to leave home for work.

Instead of feeling dread and racking your brain, make your life easier by using device tracking technology to find your everyday carry stuff. In this regard, Tile offers a smart solution. This detailed Tile Pro Sport review will help you know it inside out.
What is Tile Pro Sport?
It is a tiny tile that keeps track of virtually anything it is attached to. When you buy Tile Pro Sport, you register your account on Tile’s app and synchronize the tile. You can add multiple tiles under different titles such as Wallet, Purse, Keys, etc. The app also remembers the last location of every added tile.
Technology
It works on Bluetooth LE. The supported version is Bluetooth 4.0 or later.
OS Compatibility
Tile pays special attention to facilitate its consumers, and is well aware of different devices used these days. Therefore, Tile has ensured that its device tracker is compatible with iOS and Android both.
iOS
Tile works well with all Apple devices, which include;
iPhone (from 2011 onwards)
iPad (from 2012 onwards)
iPad Mini
iPod Touch
Apple Watch
Android
Tile is also compatible with Android 4.4 and later versions. Some compatible devices are;
Samsung Galaxy Series (from 5 onwards)
Samsung Note (from 4 onwards)
Nexus (from 4 onwards)
OnePlus (One onwards)
HTC one (M8 onwards)
Motorola Moto X
Battery
It comes with a powerful battery that can last up to one year with no decline in performance. The only criticism about battery is that it is non-replaceable. It means you have to buy a new tile every time the battery runs out. The good news is that Tile offers a discounted price to repeat buyers. Considering the price involved, this is a pretty good deal.
Sound
The tile attached on the item can produce sound up to 99 decibels, which is loud enough to draw one’s attention, even in a little noisy place.
Tile Attachment Options
This tiny tile can be attached in three ways to the item in question;
Stick
With an adhesive, you can stick it to the item. For instance, stick it to the back of your cell phone.
Put It inside
You can slide it into your wallet or put in a compartment in your purse.
Hook
You can attach it with a carabiner to a keychain or dog collar.
Accessories
Its accessories include adhesive strips and zip straps, which make the attachment easy.
Serviceable Range
The earlier versions had the range of 100 feet. With Tile Sport Pro, the range has increased up to 200 feet. Here Tile gives a disclaimer pertaining to the impact of various environments. It means you can expect the range to be a bit lower than claimed 200 feet in certain places.
Community Help
It works within a range of 200 feet, but what if your lost item is out of that range! What if you forgot your item on a bus? Well, you still have a chance to find it without reporting to Lost & Found services. The Tile Community is here to help you locate it.
To take community’s help, report it on your app as ‘Notify when found’. As soon as your tile will get within the range of other user’s device, you’ll receive a message ‘Found by community’ shared by that user. Reach the location and collect your lost item.
Ring Tones
Variety of ring tones might not interest the majority of buyers, and it should certainly not be a feature to influence your purchase decision. However, there are 8 ring tones on offer.
Colors
It is available in Gold, Graphite, and White colors.
Locate Your Cell Phone
You may wonder how you could locate your cell phone when the app is on phone.
Well, a tile can locate another tile. You need an extra tile to synchronize with the one attached to your cell phone, and place it at an easy-to-access place. You could stick it on fridge door or on a wall near a switch board.
Instead of turning your room upside down, press the button on this tile. Congrats! You just got your cell phone back in a few seconds without any mess up and frustration.
Tile Pro Sport is a great time-saver, which makes it a must-have gadget. Now you won’t be late to reach your office or a social gathering when you lose your wallet, car keys or cell phone.
