Leave a Review Find My iPhone
this app is great...sometimes
Hey! This app is pretty much genius- if you have an iPhone. iPhones do not necessarily go offline. So they are easy to track. iPods however go offline when ever disconnected from wifi. If you lose your iPod somewhere outside of your home/places you have wifi, your screwed. This app only lets you play a sound on your iPod if it's connected to wifi- so if your iPod is offline you have no way to find it. THIS APP SHOULD BE CHANGED SO THAT IF YOU LOSE YOUR IPOD YOU CAN PLAY A SOUND ON IT NO MATTER IF IT IS CONNECTED TO WIFI OR NOT. That's all I have to say- other then that, this app is perfect! I found my iPhone using it several times- but my daughter has been unable to find her iPod touch- she lost it at a concert, where there was no wifi. If this app makes that one change, it will be the best app ever.Show lessPancakePig123
A Must-Have App!
My sister tends to lose her phone every once-in-a-while. When we were taking an evening stroll with our friends, we got to our friends house, and about an hour later, she feels her pocket for her phone, and her eyes widen. I have seen this happen many-a-time, so I simply get out my phone and use this app. With our trusty adult chaperone, we set off, retracing our steps, trying to find the missing phone in the pitch black. I was convinced, because we were in a not-so-nice part of town, that it was done for, bye-bye iPhone. But, we used the app, and found that it was right where we were walking. I still panicked, because sometimes this app can say your phone is in one place, then 10 seconds later say it's 18 miles away. We used the "sound" feature and could hear it from half a block away. We found it unharmed.
A few months later, my mother lost her old iPod on a road trip. I used this app, and it said "locating"... But it just kept saying that. My best guess to why this is is that it was very old, too old to track. This iPod was not touch screen and only played music.
I've also heard complaints that this app doesn't work when the device is turned off, which I think sounds SO frustrating. Please fix this, otherwise, this app is a lifesaver!Show lessFreddieP101
Worked Wonders !!!
So today at work (Starbucks) when I noticed I forgot my iPhone 6 in the restroom I panicked and went straight there only to Findit wasn't there ! I was walking around calling it and my co worker told me about this app he has on his phone, even though I hadn't installed it I was still able to log into my iCloud account And track the location . I put it on lost mode so it was completely useless to them and was able to send a text saying to call this number if it's found . Sure enough a guy came a few minutes later stating he found a phone he said it was outside , how can that be? But whatever I was just happy and thankful I got it back thanks to this app !!! 😄Show lessAshh_Nicole10
I nice piece of mind
Good to know all is not lost when your iPhone gets lost.
I would love a feature that notifies me when a selected device is within 5 or 10 or 15 Km nearby to me so I will then automatically know when my wife or partner is near home in time for dinner or if out waiting to get picked up from work or basically anything like that.
My device should have a option of e.g.
NOTIFY ME WHEN TRUDI IS WITHIN 10km /miles OF YOUR LOCATION.

Find My iPhone
The Find My iPhone app is fantastic for locating a lost device. You have the option to reset the device which will require your Apple ID to unlock the device to prevent unauthorised access. You can play a sound, great for locating a device locally for example if you have lost it at home, this will also override the phones silent mode. The last option on the app is lost most, this means if the device is lost or stolen you can turn this on, set a passcode and enter a number you can be reached on to allow anyone that finds it to contact you. The only thing I found to be unsatisfactory was the updating of the location on a given device. Overall I highly recommend.

It found my iPhone!
Thank you to the awesome creators of this app! I accidentally left my phone in a shopping cart at Walmart. The person that found it turned it off immediately. I couldn't contact them so I locked it down with this App and left a message concerning a cash reward for the return of my phone. The next day when they turned my phone on, I received an email that my phone had been found and gave me an exact address in another town. If it hadn't been for the lock option I would have never gotten my phone back! Thank you for making this app available!!!Show lessDorisq82
Necessary
I lost my phone in a cab on my birthday when it was dead. I assumed it was gone for good but sent a message through the find my phone app to call my work if someone found it that would show up on my phone if it got turned on. Someone did find it, and then called my work! They had found it two days later in the same cab, which is amazing! This has also saved my moms life a few times when she's thought she's lost her phone. We've never had serious problems with the location services and she's been able to track her phone to the exact room she's left it in. Definitely a very necessary appShow lessKatttttttttttty
Lack of support
Mighty highly rated APPLE blows it again. Windows at least supports their older operating systems. This may be my last Apple productOld goalie62
Best app EVER
This app is total genius. My kids use it almost weekly to find their devices in the house when they've misplaced them. It alerts us all so wherever we are we can listen for the sound. ALSO my friend used this app to determine whether his gf was cheating on him and low and behold he tracked her down at a blokes house 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 it's good to track the kids down too for their own safety if they're late getting home 👍 I love it and wouldn't be without it 👍
If Carlsberg made apps...... 😂Show lessFunkymumof2girlies
Useless - no future support
Don't bother downloading. It seems Apple is unwilling to grandfather previous versions, so unless you keep buying the newest iPhone versions, this app will be obsolete and not supported on your Apple device. My family has 5 Apple devices and Find my iPhone will no longer work on any of them. No thanks Apple!Show lessBobsApps
