Ratings and reviews

This app doesn't update the locations when you click the refresh. It will have devices (pixel earbuds, tracking tags) on and right beside my phone while the app is open and still won't update their locations. The locations can be days or even weeks without an update. I even updated my ear buds location on the Google find hub website which worked instantly, and this app still hasn't updated their location since 6/21, two days ago.

Ruined with update. FMD now opens Google maps in driving mode automatically. This is a change in behaviour and ruins it. Previously it opened with a map pin (which is often all you need to see where something is). Now you can't get a pin and worse it tries to drive there. There's no way to see where something is. Tracking through an airport I've had a huge delay while it tries and fails to plot a 6,000 mile drive. Same hiking.

I've never been any to recover any of my lost or stolen devices by using the Fine My Phone feature by Google LLC! I'm not actually certain that this feature can actually find any devices that aren't connected to a public wireless network, because if it's connected to a private network with any type of false location feature, or even if someone just picks up your phone, walls away while they turn it off, then factory reset it using the bootloader menu, then you're not going to find it wirelessly!

What’s new

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.
