About this app

With this app you can locate and find your bluetooth devices using the received signal strength indication (rssi), the closer you get, the stronger the signal will be. DOES NOT WORK WITH HEADSET. The devices will be displayed in a list with their: name, MAC id and a graphical signal strength meter (S Meter), and units in decibels dBm. Depending on the device the signal strength could be updated on 1-10 seconds intervals.

This app is specially recomend by Fitbit users. There is a Pro version available without ads and new features as one device selection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To work properly it is necessary to turn on the Bluetooth in discovery mode. PAIRED DEVICES AS HEADSETS WILL NOT BE FOUND.

Be constructive please :), if this app does not work on your device, instead of negative rating, send me a email with the device model and problem description in order to solve it.

Thank you

Ratings and reviews

It's somewhat difficult to figure out how it works as, on the face of it, it is somewhat unintuitive. However, once you figure it out, it is invaluable. Hint: The number tends to get lower and the bar tends to fill the closer you are. I would've rated it higher but it took me almost as long to figure out how it works as it took me to find my Fitbit once I did.

I was hoping so much that this would work. However, after following all of the directions and accepting permissions and even after phone restarts and uninstall and re-installing, it simply did not work. I was able to see some wifi signals, many null signals, but not my fitbit which was fully charged. The most disappointing event was when it recognized my bluetooth enabled treadmill, but the bar slowly disappeared as I neared it and stopped reading it when I was standing ON the treadmill. Restarted and couldn't even find my treadmill signal while I was on it. Still looking for my fitbit.

It works but we found the Fitbit by luck. The app has no/misleading directions. The "Start" vs. "Scanning off" is already mentioned in several reviews. The screenshots in app store aren't at all what it looks like. Once I had my Fitbit back in hand I was able to learn how it works and now it might be helpful if it gets lost again. The numbers displayed are negative values so as it mathematically increases it is closer. The information in reviews is misleading about that. First try it out with a Bluetooth device for which you know the location. Then to find the missing one.
