User Reviews: Finder for Fitbit

Top reviews

  • Worked amazingly well

    I had placed my Fitbit in my coat pocket (a hidden one that I had forgotten about). I searched all over my home for 3 days straight. I checked the coat several times but missed the hidden pocket.
    I googled for help and tried other apps that did not work well. This app clearly indicated that the Fitbit was in my coat when I moved close to the coat stand. I moved the coat away from the coat stand and the app clearly indicated that the Fitbit was in the coat. When I turned it inside out, I found the hidden pocket with the Fitbit inside!
    My only difficulty with the app was that it did not mention Charge 6 as an option. I chose Charge HR and it automatically recognized Charge 6. It would help if that was made clear to new users.
  • Scam scam scam

    I downloaded the lite or free version. I choose my Fitbit I was looking for (Fitbit 5) it kept almost finding it but then ads would pop up. So then I purchased no ads for 3.99. It actually downloads a whole new app. This app doesn’t have charge 5 as an option. Also after you download it asks if your phone is paired to your watch. If so it says don’t unpair it because it will make it harder to find. It tells you to go buy the app on a different device to look for your device. Another scam. The Apple people should be embarrassed to have this in our App Store. I even emailed the developers to ask about my issues but heard nothing back. Don’t waste your money
  • Found it

    At first the signal was very weak. Eventually I got closer and closer the signal was stronger. I found it under some leaves near a fence. Anything that can find a black fit bit in the midst of dirt is wonderful.
  • This app has saved me $$$$

    I’ve mislaid my Fitbit on more than one occasion. Okay, about 6.
    Within a very short time, i was able to find the device. The only exception was one time when I lost it just outside of an airport, and wasn’t able to return.
    AWESOME app!
  • Works again!!!!

    I I lost my Fitbit zip yet another time. It’s important to disconnect your zip from the phone you’re using to find it in the Fitbit app. It found my zip a third time. Excellent app!
  • Awesome app

    Lost my Fitbit this morning in my flower garden, between dirt and bark mulch looked over and over and could not locate it. Just purchased this app and found it in about 5 minutes. Very happy!! Lost my Fitbit again in the yard. Didn’t take long to find it. Great app!
  • DOESN’T WORK

    My own fault believing reviews and purchased the app. Eventually I found my Fitbit “on my own”. The app kept on telling me to walk around the area and I’m getting closer. But the area the app directing me was at least 80 feet away from where the Fitbit was actually found. As a fact, I held it in my left hand and ran this app to see if the app could find it. And the answer is big NO! It keeps on searching. Don’t waste your precious $4. NOT WORTH IT! Too bad no money back guarantee on app purchases! And I’ve never posted any kind of review but the truth has to be told!
  • Total waste

    It kept telling me to look at places 150 feet away because it was right there with the dial all the way full and the flashing dot and vibration. And where I found it the app didn’t even say anything other than searching. When I put it back on my wrist and held the phone with the app running in the other hand the app can’t find the Fitbit. Don’t waste your money. This app is a total scam.
  • Charge 4

    I was going crazy trying to find my Fitbit. I had this app on my phone but I purchased another which was useless and didn’t include my device. As I became more frustrated I went back to this app as a last ditch effort. I forgot that I had used it for my old Fitbit a few years ago. These other apps had a myriad of directives but this app only required that the blue tooth be turned off. All of a sudden my device popped up and the arch ensued. As I followed the signal I found my device within 7 minutes. This app is the truth!!!!
  • It doesn’t work if you pay

    I know where I lost my Fitbit, but I can’t find it. The free app never worked even with their recommendations. I stood in the spot where I took it off, and there was a strong signal, but then as I walked through my room and my house, I still have a “stronger signal.” I think this app would work great if you lived in a clutter free area. Instead of a strong signal indicator, I agree with other reviewers that I wish it had a directional finder. I want it to literally point the direction my Fitbit is in. But hey, it’s only $4 and worth trying to see if it works for you.
