Ratings and reviews

WAY WORSE than existing tracker apps. No signal strength indicator, so impossible to narrow down where a tracker is. Worse yet, it doesn't even properly keep track of them! I can ring them, but not see if they're in range. Location updates happen only a few times/day, even when I click the refresh button. Marketed as an AirTag network alternative, but no. Other Android owners must opt-in to detect lost tracker locations "everywhere", effectively limiting the global network to only busy areas.

I just love this app! I can locate any of the four devices we have: 2 phones and 2 tablets. They can make a sound so if my device is close, I can go straight to it. Many times, there's at least one device in the car. I get directions using the Map app, so I can walk straight to the device. Once it had fallen out of my backpack and was mostly covered by leaves. The sound and turning on the device screen helps me walk straight to it and retrieve it.

This used to work perfectly to find my phone but recently over the last 6 months if the screen has been off for a prolonged period of time and the phone goes into deep sleep, find my device is not ring my phone. It only starts ringing once I actually find my phone and turn on the screen. Then it starts ringing but it's too late since it didn't actually help me find the device. Battery saver is not enabled for this app. It has full access to the battery in the background.
