How much battery does your bluetooth use?

I'm on about 20%. I've just replaced them and I'm not sure if my phone is searching for the old ones.

My brother got me a couple for my birthday a few months ago. I don't lose anything really, more like misplace things around the house. Not sure how much battery the bluetooth uses up, but when the tile batteries run out I won't bother replacing them. Then the day after I will lose my keys and wallet.

I have - don't really notice the Bluetooth on my iPhone using battery. It's a 6S and the battery is as good as it's ever been. Then again I'm still running IOS10.3

The Tiles right - just so you know - they actually last a couple of years at least. The company email you to update them after a year saying they will die, but unless you update the app, they don't die. Keep the old version of the app and they keep working for 2 years+

I did lose my keys once, my old commute had a load of speed bumps and keys jumped out of the pocket of my rucksack. With Tile, I could pinpoint the exact spot I lost them, but they weren't there! Someone had handed them in to the copshop. Still, was very useful to know the place, so I didn't have to search he whole route.

Does your Tile show up as a paired device?

yes, have the keyring and the wallet one - wouldn't be without them, as I'm always misplacing my sh1t.

my last ones started behaving erratically after about 2 years.

well worth it for me

Mine never show's up as paired. It must be searching for it all the time.

I won one of this very site. It didn’t work well at all so I threw it away.

Im not sure this is helpful information.

I use TrackR - batteries are replaceable, in fact they will send you a free one when yours runs out.

Don't find it affects battery life adversely.

World of Warships, however, will kill your battery

It would’ve been perfect if you’d lost the draw[sic] though.

We have them on the car keys / in wallets. Always worked very well for us and don't seem to be killing phone battery life. Also keep one in road bike saddle pack.
