Tracker Detect

Apple

About this app

Tracker Detect looks for item trackers that are separated from their owner and that are compatible with Apple’s Find My network. These item trackers include AirTag and compatible devices from other companies. If you think someone is using AirTag or another device to track your location, you can scan to try to find it.

Ratings and reviews

Good to have this on Android platform. Appreciate being able to manually scan and it does not have to run in the background. It would be a better implementation to allow optional background running. For example, to automatically scan while you are traveling or stationary and not watching the screen. This could ease some of concerns, but still satisfy both methods of scanning. This would also allow more frequent scans over a longer period to find 15 minutes away from the offenders.

I scanned for my parents' air tags on their dogs, which were laying within 10 feet awa and it only detected one of them. After scanning again to find the second one, none were found, and after many repeated attempts, I finally found it again. When I finally found one again, I had to wait 10 MINUTES to play a sound from it, and when the 10 minutes passed, the app said it couldn't find it. Neither I nor the dogs had moved the whole time. My phone has no issues with Bluetooth.

Was hoping for an option to have this running in the background. If I'm already under the impression an Apple tag is around me that shouldn't be, I probably don't need to take that moment to open an app to scan and confirm suspicions. I thought it would scanning in the background, the way it seems it does for Apple. At least the option for continual scanning, for the malignant use of a tracking device, would be much more helpful. Do better Apple.
