About this app

Misplaced items have met their match! Spot and the Spot family of products are small Bluetooth finders that help you locate and remember your most important items.
Attach a Spot finder to an important item, like your keys, then pair the Spot to the supporting app on your phone.

Use the app's many features to make finding easy.

RING TO FIND:
Use this app feature to sound an alert from your Spot device. Follow the sound to help you locate a nearby Spot.

PROXIMITY METER:
Use the yellow rings as an indicator of the connected signal strength. The more yellow rings, the closer you are to a Spot. You can use this feature like a game of “hot & cold” to help locate a nearby Spot.

LOCATION HISTORY
Use this feature to help locate a lost Spot. The app will map the last location your Spot and your phone were in close range of each other. This is likely the location you left your Spot.

OUT OF RANGE ALERTS:
If this feature is enabled, your phone can notify you each time your phone and Spot get separated. This feature can alert you before you accidentally leave an item behind.

SPOT COMMUNITY:
Use the growing Spot community as a resource to help find a lost Spot. If the community comes into range of your lost Spot, you'll receive an anonymous email with the approx location.

Ratings and reviews

Well, it worked ok when I first connected my device to the app- location seemed to be "not bad", and the audio feature would activate. However, the device has not updated or connected since that initial pairing, which kind of entirely defeats the purpose. I haven't tried manually pairing it again, as I don't really feel like wasting my time with a device I got for free at a convention. And here I thought I could skimp out on not getting an actual AirTag (or the newer Android-compatible tags).

It was free so I can't complain. But it's an active Bluetooth device so you have to have the app actively running and if you accidentally close the app it will not work. So I only use it when I actively want to make sure something does not go more than 80 ft away from me at any one point while I'm out and about. And when I'm back home I close the app and disconnect it. Also if you use the Take a Selfie function it works but the pictures don't actually save anywhere.

It's not hard to see why the little spot device was given to me at an event for free, the location is awful, the device only rings my phone when the app is open (im not kidding) and the beeping to find the spot device is a louder whisper at best, if you get it for free put it on your keys, don't put it on things that will go farther away from you, and PLEASE don't put it on a cat or dog, it may suck to pay more money but there is a reason it costs more for better performance.
