Find My 4+

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!
