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.

It doesn’t work more often than it works. It constantly says “something went wrong” in the settings. Other phones can’t find one specific phone. That specific phone also can’t find itself. The battery level is shown, and you can trigger a sound, but it doesn’t appear on the map. Permissions, settings, and account- everything is set up correctly.

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.
