Philips InRange ~ A different concept of lost and found

Actually, I have purchased and tried InRange about a month before The Tile is delivered to me. Now, I would like to put up a review for InRange after I tried The Tile too. There are many hypes on The Tile on the websites while few on InRange. Surprisingly, I would have to say InRange have something that did right. Benefits: It is designed to keep things together with you e.g. purse, wallet It will beep when the InRange tag is far away from your smartphone You can reversed fine where your phone by making your phone beep You can deactivate the reminder by GPS location e.g. home when you done keep purse together with phone It has Two distance warning mode: Close & Far Setup: Simple  Standard Limitation: Bluetooth signal decrease over barriers (for more info on standard limitation, refer The Tile review) My experience - I tagged my company access card (less than 1 feet away from my phone in pocket).  In a 2 hours meeting where I sat still, ...

The Tile App - Review

After the long waited One year, I finally got my hand on to the TILE. It comes with two stickers to stick the TILE to any surface you want. After some quick trials, here are my summaries. What Works : Finding the App from App Store is a bit difficult due to too many apps with "tile" keywords.  Tips: click the App Store link form TheTileApp website OR click here for the App Link Setup is a breeze, just download the App and follow simple instruction Of course, it ONLY works with iOS (iPhone 4s, 5, 5s and above).   The UI Experience: Clean, Minimalist & User Friendly It consists of few core features: Add Tile Tile Status List  Green circle means Tile is NOW connected Grey circle means Tile is Disconnected & Duration last connected is shown The Search Tap the Tile icon, 8 signal bar status to show the Tile proximity Tap FIND to make the Tile "beep" once it is connected  Tap the MAP at the bottom to see current/ last recorded loc...

Spotify UI need to update Offline mode access

Spotify please setup the  Offline mode button on the main menu e.g. below setting   ( currently, I need to tab 4 time to activate offline mode and tab 3 times to go back to playlist.  This is so not friendly) Would this be a consideration of offline music cost is higher than online music ? Well, it DOESNT MATTER ! My data plan is limited at 3GB a month. I will go OFFLINE MODE whenever I go outside of home. Only at home when my internet is connected to Wifi, I will change to ONLINE MODE to: Discover music & Save songs for OFFLINE mode This behaviour will not change because Spotify make the OFFLINE button more difficult to access. If you are Spotify fan and support this, please visit Spotify forum here to KUDOS this suggestion. Thank you  Also, maybe following design framework can be consider for customer experience improvement.
