Find My Ratings and Reviews

So far I have find my app connected to my dog’s tracking device and had to use it twice. Did great first time my little dog ran off! But this time it was making me run around to wrong locations and then it started to state that my dog was in my car when she wasn’t I mean I would know right?! Lol but finally after searching the old way of driving around hollering her name out I got home with her made sure the tracking device to make sure there wasn’t nothing wrong with it..it was fine beeped and all. Then got an notification after pushing that I found her stating someone last saw her just now at this certain location which I already turned the I found my device (which also the app wasn’t trying to allow me to push it for some odd reason, may be a bug that needs fixing idk) the app was just acting up and it wasn’t my signal nor needing an update it was something else going on. So hopefully this issue will get fixed asap before my dog runs off again and I lose my dog cuz the app keep messing up on me. This ASAP NEEDS FIXED!

This app let me know where my Mac was. It fell off the top of my car because I forgot I placed it there, I was getting my daughter in the car seat. Didn’t realize until an hour later on the way to my therapist appointment that my laptop was not in the car. I was freaking out , $2,000 laptop gone! It led me to where I took my turn down a street at a stop light, it was laying in the grass. The momentum of the car flew the laptop across the intersection. Only had a chip on the corner of the laptop. I was able to track the location down to the area perimeter. The “ring” to the device was no help in that situation -cause of the loud traffic. But the map helped me find it. I was about to just file a police report. But it was spotted near a sidewalk in the grass near the stoplight. I had a case on it at the time and it was inside a laptop sleeve. It was very hot. When I got home it was able to cool down then when I logged in…The app shut down the device and I had to go thru security question and login in from other apple devices I had tied to my account to get access into the computer. Thank you so much Apple for this! Saved my personal information and me from having to dish out more money for a new laptop. I had no insurance on it ..as it was a pay to own device from a third party seller.

I have been using the Find My app for a long time to track my family when they are on the road. BEFORE I installed the new software update 17.4.1, it worked perfectly. Now, it barely works at all. It will show a member of my family is still at home, when they have in fact reached their destination, be it work, a friend’s house, a store, anywhere they drove to. Sometimes it will show that my family member is somewhere inside of this big blue bubble that shows up on the screen. How in the world does that help me? I now have no way of knowing whether they made it there safely and I am really upset about this. It is very stressful because I no longer have the peace of mind I had in being able to just look at my screen and see where they were. We now have to call each other to let one another know that we made it safely to our destinations. Before the recent update, this app worked like a charm, never lagging or freezing up. I wish I had just left it alone until I was forced to install the new software update because maybe then Apple might have worked out the issues with this app. I placed a call to Apple customer support, and the representative told me that because they have not yet received thousands of calls for this issue, it will probably be a while before it is looked into. If you are having the same problems with this app, as I am, please make that call and report it, so that hopefully they will get on fixing it sooner!

I recommend this app even if you think it’s an app which takes storage or even might not be needed I think someday it will go to use for you not many but I really want to consider how thankful this app change the fact someone stole 3 Air Pods and money from a locker in my school. My air pod pros were connected to this app and it helped save my life it showed me the direction the distance and the address of who stole my air pod pros. The fact that it manage to track the place where it was taken and letting me disable them which allowed my air pod pros to not connect to their Bluetooth and device made a big difference and help for me. The information on this app allowed me to ask people around if they knew this place and I found someone who knew who lived there I won’t go into details but the help of the school and cops I manage to get a name and as suspicions goes on and the details the app gave me the place it showed me and how long ago my air pod pros were connected to this app made me feel relief and knowing that getting these type of information can make things the best case because in the end I got my air pod pros and I manage to help some other people out because theirs were stolen.

Decent app, but lags behind competition. For instance, canNOT share AirTag tracking with family members—ridiculous! Tile allows me to share Tile tracking with family or whomever. So, if I have an AirTag in a camera bag and let my son use the camera w/ bag, he has no way to track the camera bag/AirTag if lost or stolen. He has to call me and I might be 1,000 miles away for work. Or our dogs have AirTags on their collars, but only one person in our family can see/track the AirTags on their phone. It’s completely impractical— if the dogs get out and run around the neighborhood, my wife’s phone is the only phone that can track them. What is she’s not home—which is often?? The only other options available are to either put six (6) AirTags on each dog so that anyone who is home alone can track them… not happenin! Tile on the other hand allows extensive sharing capabilities. I can even share the location with a neighbor remotely if I’m out of town and get a call saying the dogs are out. This is easily solved. It will be a dirty move if Apple releases an AirTag 2, or 3 with sharing functionality and not make it retroactive to gen 1. Also, sometimes AirTags and devices take an excessive amount of time to update locations. It’s not uncommon for an AirTags to take 30-40 mins to update location. Phone seem to update faster, but the timing is inconsistent and clunky.

I misplaced my AirPods a week ago and can’t find them anywhere so I went on the find my app. Last place scene was 3:30 at a park. Later that day I went to the park and the find my wasn’t letting me do the close range thing so I didn’t find them.(btw the icon for them was the AirPod case, at the time). After going to the park I locked the AirPods and told the app to notify me when found/ opened because that would update them and show me where they were. Next day I open the app to see two earbuds as the icon. Someone took my case and left the pods because they knew that the pods were tracked, and not the case. Find my dose t work. Honestly you would have an easier time just buying a new set upfront because You WULL NOT FIND THEM DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING FROM APPLE. I have now shifted my focus to eBay and Facebook market place trying to find a AirPod case posted a few days ago and trying to read the number on the case.
WHY CANT THE CASE BE TRACKED. I know that the newest AirPod case is also tracked but why does Apple act like they can’t see where the case is at all times even when not opened for weeks. They think we think not. Desperate times call for desperate measures. And at this point it’s not a case I lost, it’s my manhood, my dignity and only desire. I need this case. It’s personal now. You think I care about the case. NO it’s not about the case, but about my mental health.

It’s simply just a useless tool put on this phone to mess with your brain. Out of the 10 years I’ve had apple products I’ve never been able to find one of the items wether that be my phone, AirPods, or watch and it’s utter garbage. For example for finding you’re AirPods there’s a sound display thing you can click so it projects noise, now the AirPods 2 actually do make noise but idk if it does through the find my app because I clicked probably 100 times and all it did was say connecting and then went back to where I could click to play it so that obviously does not work in the slightest and is just useless on its own so I tried the find nearby option to direct me to where it was and it would search for a signal with the camera on but blurred and then ask me to turn on the flash cause it’s to dark…im sorry but idk when finding a connection mattered how bright the screen was for the camera looking at literally nothing and everytime it would tell me to switch locations I would and it would buffer and just keep saying the same thing till I traversed my whole entire house and even walked around the neighborhood a bit to see how accurate this is. Like i said it’s very very useless I cannot begin to explain how bad of a system this actually is it needs desperate improvements it’s very sad to be fairly honest.

A distinct change in the functioning, i mean non-functioning of my Find My App. I wasn’t sure of the location in my place of my Air Pods Pro. The App was not able to locate them, even as i was holding the case with the pods inside in the same hand as the iPhone 13 i whereon i was using the App. When i opened the case, VIOLA! The App suddenly found them, and would play sound to “locate” them; only to as quickly lose track of them when the case was closed again with the pods inside and suddenly unable to play sound at all! I am quite certain that when i set up my Air Pods on the Find My App, it found them in the closed case. Not this time!

I decided to test the App with my keys with an attached Apple Tracker … Again, though holding the keys with Tracker in my hand, same as my iPhone, it was unable to locate them/it. It showed the battery level of the Tracker, strangely enough since it couldn’t locate them. Further, when i ask the App for info on the “found” Tracker which i held under the top of my iPhone, repeatedly, again it was unable to make contact with, find, or play sound!!

Really!??! REALLY !!??!!

I'm not sure if it's iOS 16 that's made this app worse, but it certainly hasn't been this bad the whole time I've been using it. I got a brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max just before the iPhone 14 came out, and I just bought brand new Airpod Pros 2 a month and a half ago. Keep in mind, I bought both of these from AN APPLE STORE, BRAND NEW. My Airpods last location is contstantly wrong, and the connectivity is complete trash. I can be searching for my Airpods (no help from Find My) and when I eventually find them I can put my phone DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THEM, TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE TOUCHING and it will still say unable to connect to play sound OR find near me. The Airpods are not dead, they are fully charged, and I CAN SEE THEIR CURRENT BATTERY LEVEL ON THE BATTERY WIDGET. In my Bluetooth menu in settings, it also says "Not Connected" while I CAN SEE THEIR BATTERY LEVEL ON THE BATTERY WIDGET. I can tap to connect and it will say "Make sure Airpods are on and in range". Apple, fix your software or I will NOT be purchasing any new products. EXTREMELY disappointed in this app, my BRAND NEW PHONE, AND BRAND NEW AIRPODS. I will definitely rethink my next Apple purchase if this doesn't get fixed ASAP. You're better than this.

Because it was a pretty nice program when I can find my family if they are coming up here because sometimes I can look at the location and I don’t update for them and I don’t update for like five minutes because I have to go back on it or I have to delete I have to go back in to delete it because sometimes it takes it off and it’s saying no location found and I feel like I have to go back in it and I have to share everybody my location I have it it sometimes the thing acts weird because it’s saying no Location frien I feel like I have to go. I have to add them back to the list because I have this for my whole family because they wanna see my location and I feel like I can click on the location and it tells me how How many miles and I feel like I can go back to an I can say is, I think I like this I think this app is a good idea because you can see where you if they are farming or anything
