Leave a Review Find My iPhone
This version is not as good as older versions
My family were in Universal Studios Orlando when my brother discovered he had lost his iPhone 5s. You can imagine the panic in such a busy theme park. According to the current version on my iPhone 5s it showed the phone on the move. We searched for 2 hours with no luck. My dad then tried to locate it on his iPhone 4 (it was an older version using satellite instead of maps) and showed that the phone was exactly where it was first lost. All in all we found the phone but definitely the older version using satellite was more accurate than the newer version.Show lessPuppy m4asta 74
Very convenient
Find my iPhone is a very convenient app, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has an iPhone. I only lost my iPhone once in a whole foods in Glendale, forgetting it in a cart after leaving home, and once I made it home, I realized I searched 30 minutes for it around all the shopping bags. Once I realized I left it at whole foods, I used this app to let me know if it's still in the store on if someone took it, and luckily it was still in the store. Once we made it, one of the cashiers made me put the password to make sure it's mine, and I got my iPad back. This app saved my life and iPad. It's also convenient if you lost it somewhere in a big apartment or house or if your parents hide your devices, you can just play a sound and it will lead you to where it isShow lessSev153
Excellent. A must have for EVERYONE.
Find My iPhone is a must have for everyone. I used it today got the first time with excellent results.
My wife left her iPhone at a Carls Jr. When she realized it was missing we called Carl's Jr to see if anyone had turned it in. They hadn't. I downloaded Find My iPhone and located it. It was several miles south of us but we weren't able to go and try to receive it until hours later.
When we were able to try and find it the app showed us on the map exactly where it was. It was by a Waffle House. I switched the map to satellite view and it showed that the phone was in the parking lot right down to which parking space, which had a car in it. We called the local police department and they came down to confront who was in the car. Sure enough the lady in the car had my wife's phone.
Again this app is terrific and has several features that make finding your lost devices incredibly easy. If you haven't downloaded this app yet you need to. Now.Show lessnotanathlete
BEST THING EVER--a life saver
I was at a trampoline place where there were courses you could do filled with foam. My stupid self decided to take it in with me for pictures and videos. I soon realized that i lost my phone in one of the trampoline pits. The people who worked there said I could come in after it closes to try to find it. I was HOPELESS as the foam pits where very deep and many people have lost there phones in those pits..they even cleaned all the pits out the other day. Thanks to this app I was miraculously able to find my phone with a faint sound under all that foam.
------------------------
The SECOND time it saved my life was when i was at an outlet. I had my phone in my purse the whole time… It wasn't until closing time at the outlet that I realized my phone was missing! We were able to find out the general location of where my iPhone was at BUT It was already closing time. That next morning we played the sound and we found the phone in a store where a guy was trying to turn the noise off. He hesitantly gave me the phone when I told him it was mine..in fact the lock screen said someone tried to get into my phone! However he did give me my phone back and that's all that matters.

Highly recommend to all Apple usersShow lessWhatnameistaken?!
Omg
I left my phone on the bus to school this morning, and the bus goes to other schools after mine, we rang the company and they couldn't find it anywhere on the bus so I thought it was long gone, my mum was on the phone to the guy and my sister was sending the alerts and if it wasn't for that they wouldn't have found it-someone had put it in the bin! If it wasn't for this app I wouldn't have my phone now thank you very muchShow lessRonstaa125
My phone floated down the River
So I have to say the first time use the app and I loved it! I lost my phone at the river (it was in a waterproof pouch) and someone luckily saw it and picked up. We used the find my iPhone to track exactly were it was until we were able to find it at a taco shop parking lot! I had given up all hope of finding me phone but in the end I found my phone! The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because although it worked great and helped me find my phone it would be nice if the location update were maybe second by second not 30 seconds by in some cases especially if in a moving vehicle a 30 second lag can be a lot of travel. Overall I really like this app!Show lessCast_93
Love it- You need it!
This past winter I dropped my phone at work outside during the middle of a snowstorm.
It was about 5 am when I lost it, and didn't realize till a few hours later , only after my lot was snow plowed. I freaked out because my wife was as full term could be in her pregnancy, I was to receive the call any day that we needed to go to the hospital. My phone, currently lost, was no where to be found. I looked everywhere from the car to the perimeter of my store to my jacket pockets- everywhere I could have misplaced it to no avail.
When one of my employees came to work who had an iPhone, I quickly downloaded the app to her phone and began pinging it. I was narrowed down to a small area and enabled lost mode. After a brief shoveling session when I head the chime my phone was found in the bottom of a snow bank!
Later that same evening, I brought my wife to the hospital to deliver our 1st child.
Needless to say I didn't need my phone when I lost it, but this app gave me that peace of mind that I had my connection to my wife and the ability to narrow my search for my beloved phone!
Thank you very much!!Show lessBe More Funny
Thank you for such a great app
My partners phone was stolen the other day. I used the 'find my phone' app on my iPhone.
Within an hour I had found the phone and had it back with my partner.
It emailed us the tracks it had taken and the route it had been. It pinpointed exactly where it was. Proof is in the pudding and with out this app we would never had got her phone back.
Speaking from experience, an idea to the developers would be great if when the person that 'finds' the phone presses the main button it takes a screen shot of the person and emails it direct to the iPhone that's trying to find it.
It could be done as it emailed us when the phone had been tampered with and the route they had taken to dump the phone after being confronted. Just by having the screen shot would have confirmed it was the person I confronted and they denied it.
At least we got the phone back. This App is a must for all iPhone users. I can't thank these developers of this App enough.

I lost my phone on the day of prom!
After reading these reviews about people retrieving their phone, I feel hopeless. So I lost my phone in an über cab two days ago. I called the driver and he told me that he will look for it and call me back, but I never got a call back. So during prom my friend used the tracker and locked my phone. I checked yesterday and saw that my phone ended up in an apartment building. I realized that every 2-5 minutes the location of the phone will change into different buildings on the same block (Every time I play the sound) I called the cops but they said they can't check every room just to look for a phone. So I will have to call them back when I see that the phone is outside of the building. I NEED MY PHONE BACK!!!! My prom day was ruined because I didn't get to take pictures with my friends. Hopefully a miracle happens...Show lessjayyyjay
Let's hope this was a one off
I installed this on my 12yr olds iPhone as he is in high school and was afraid that he would lose his phone or worse, some other student could steal it. Today I looked to see where he was and it was saying that he was at the local shops (over a k away from the school) 😱 so off I raced down to the shops expecting to find my son only to receive a confirmation phone call from the school that my son was sitting in class. Sure enough after I press refresh his phone is hovering over his high school. We're both running iOS 8.3 I have a 6+ and my son has my old 5s. Unfortunately today it didn't prove to be very accurate and my stress levels were through the roof and sick with worry.Show lessJCZ2015
