#iACast DemoCast 15: Tile

Picture of Tile device. Device is a white square with rounded corners with the word Tile in a light grey. It also has a round hole in a corner for a key ring.

Everyone loses track of things. Whether it’s your keys or your luggage, it can be difficult to find. That’s why, on this episode of the iA DemoCast, Aleeha demonstrates a cool and mostly accessible solution to this all too common problem: the Tile. Tile is run by installing a free app for iOS  orAndroid and then pairing small square devices to your phone, which can then be attached to whatever you want to keep track of–even your dog! On the show, we demonstrate pairing a Tile, along with adjusting its various settings. As always, let us know what you think by leaving a comment or mentioning us on Twitter!
