Find My Lost Bluetooth Device 4+

I have the old free version on my iPhone and it works better than the newer version. There are features that are free on the old version that are no longer free! For example, the send feature. I try to send and on the new version on my iPad, I get a message to buy the premium version. This is a rip off in my opinion.

NOTE: Make sure in Settings under Bluetooth/Privacy that you allow this app permissions to use your Bluetooth.

It seemed to work on my iPhone when I first got it. I just downloaded it to my iPad and it keeps prompting me to buy premium.

Whenever I click on one of the Bluetooth devices it finds, it takes me to a page that prompts me to buy premium.

One Bluetooth device was called “iPhone“ which matches my name for it, but the others were not named and only were listed as N/A. Give it a few minutes and the N/A (I believe this means the name is not immediately available or clear to the app) changes to the name of the device. It may also change to a long number.

It will not tell you that you have found your device, only that you are near it. It will give distances such as you are within one meter or two meters. But sometimes you won’t have the name of the Bluetooth device it has found.

Haven’t had to use it have been a couple of months try to open the app and it does not work at all it won’t even open it blinks and nothing happens not sure exactly what you guys did to it but please undo it that used to work great and I paid for it if you cannot fix it can you please give me my money back thanks

I recently lost a device and the manufacturer suggested two apps to locate it. This was the second option and I gave it a try. The app seems to display EVERY Bluetooth item that my phone has detected, with results numbering probably in the hundreds. Maybe 1 out of 25 items have a name, and that’s something generic. The app isn’t showing my own Apple Watch or my AirPods. Or, if it is, they’re lost in the list of unnamed items, even though they’ve been given a name.

Tapping on any of the listed items takes you to a paywall, $7.99/mo or a yearly option.

Considering that almost none of the items have names, it would be an epic scavenger hunt in a busy public location like a shopping center or an airport to try and track down these unnamed items one at a time. And adding to the no name issue, as different people come in to the area (Bluetooth is only good for about 30’ of range), you won’t know which items you’ve hunted down and which are new to the list.

While this app may be useful for an item misplaced in your home or small office, there are other apps that serve this same purpose that are probably much better suited to actually helping recover a lost item.
