Ratings and reviews

I thought this app came pre-loaded on every android phone but it isn't in some cases. For anyone considering to download this or not, I will make that simple for you. YES! This is one of the most important apps you can get for your phone. It helps find lost or stolen phones. It can lock your phone with a custom password until you find it, display a message to the finder, & if everything fails it can factory reset your phone...all remotely. It also plays a siren so you can locate your device.

There is no way to add earbuds or headphones anymore. Only people and trackers. The only way to add a device is if it has the Find Hub app downloaded. Then it will be added to your device list automactically. I went through my Google devices to add the earbuds to my google account. However, selecting the option to locate within Find Hub just clitches my screen. It won't open the Find hub. Find Hub also no longer has the "+" sign in the devices tab so adding earbuds or headphones is impossible.

When this application is implemented as the default installation on all Android devices, including cars, phones, watches, mini PCs, and phones from all other manufacturers that have an Android OS and so on. Then geolocation will be transmitted much more accurately and possibly directly online. Naturally, this will only happen if Bluetooth is enabled, which will also transmit information without confirmation, as is done in Apple devices. In the meantime, the app lags behind the Apple app.

What’s new

We've resolved an issue where Precision Finding wasn't working correctly on certain Android devices.

In addition to finding lost devices and items, you can now stay connected to the people who matter to you. You can share your live location to coordinate a meetup with a friend or check that a family member got home safe—all in one app.
