Ratings and reviews

Actually, Find My Device's UI isn't intuitive at all. If you're a complete tech newbie, it's rather frustrating and not user-friendly at all. Sharing location on Google Maps is way easier. It's easy to use and understand, aside from showing the present location it also gives turn-by-turn directions.

I'd give 5 stars, but lately, the app shows no active devices. Now, that is a huge issue for me ,not only for the obvious reasons. But when I was robbed at gunpoint and all my belongings were taken, had it not been for the find my device app the criminal would have gotten away with it, but by tracking my phone the criminal was captured and now in prison. So you see, this app does amazing work with more than I initially expected. I have tried every possible fix the internet had to offer but no.

When I install the app on one phone, I also want to add other phones and tablets in my household. This app does not enable that function to add more devices unless they already exist in the recognized devices. I only saw one to add and I needed to add three more, so there should be a + button to add more devices. When I use my laptop, I should be able to see all of the devices and their locations.

What's new

• Refreshed app design
• Find My Device can now help you locate devices, even if they’re offline, by encrypting and storing your device’s most recent location with Google
