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.

Other than finding multiple unnamed devices, this app did almost nothing. I downloaded it to try and find my Fitbit, but I was unable to tell which device it might be. While the -dbs would sometimes disappear, other times move up or down a point, I could not draw any conclusions (even with a known device) about the proximity of a bluetooth device. Perhaps it could be a little more user friendly, but I found my Fitbit out of sheer luck and quickly uninstalled this waste.

Terrible! Contained a paywall for "verification", shortly after entering my credit card information an unauthorized charge was made against my credit card, resulting in my credit card being locked by my issuer. This may have been nothing more than coincidence, in any case I fail to understand why credit card information should be anywhere near a free system utility; but I leave it up to the reader to decide whether or not to entrust payment info to an app like this.
