Ratings and reviews

works very well with my Mili tag duo. but had a recent issue with the tag not wanting to work anymore.. after a few days of messing around with hardware/software, I realized in the Google settings you can turn off 'save devices automatically" option to delete the bad data on device. THEN re-pair the device and it worked. so if anyone is having this problem, then try this solution. so, the app wasn't the problem as such but a silly setting in the Google phone options messing with my tag.

My own experience has largely been good. However I find it very frustrating that this app cannot be installed on a child's device. Children being children, my daughter is far more likely to need to locate a lost item than I am! Google Support are beyond useless in their responses to my enquiries about this, providing only copied & pasted responses suggesting the issue may be my wifi connection, available storage, system update, etc!

Recently had to use this to find a friend's mobile phone and it worked really well. It successfully located it in one of several places it could have potentially been lost that day, so saved a lot of time & travel. One minor point - why have all the signed-in devices showing as rather hard to read icons at the top of the screen, can we not have it in a drop-down list? UPDATE (06/2025): this has had a major makeover and looks very different now, so will have to check it out and update my review!
