Ratings and reviews

This is definitely an app I always install when I get a new phone. I test it every once in awhile using my PC and my wife's phone to locate it. There have only been just a few times over quite a few years"Find My Phone" couldn't locate my phone right away. Eventually it always did. I like to have a backup option for things like this. My paid security suite covers our PCs, and has Android and IOS apps too.

Super easy. you log in, and all linked devices under your account are on a list, ya pick the one you lost, play a sound to find it, boom. Very helpful. Very fast.Didnt try the location aspect but that's always going to be approximate. Kind of useless if the device is off or if the battery dies, no one wants to be paranoid waiting hours or days for the device to come back on and be locatable,but does what I need for my clumsy around the house mishaps for devices.

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.

What's new

• Refreshed app design
