### 3/5 — Miss read

*2026-07-13, version 1.4*

For awhile now I thought I had a tile tracker on my car. I looked all over it nothing. Ao today I actually left in a different car and it was still readying a tile with me even when I was in the store. So it’s picking up my straight talk iPhone as a tile. I have nothing else that it could be reading. It does pick up my AirTags so ik it’s finding things but it’s definitely miss reading the tile for my phone.

### 3/5 — Love but Crashing is an issue

*2026-04-12, version 1.4*

I love this app as it was recommended to me however, I'm experiencing constant crashing and therefore it's not able to consistently watch for trackers! Please help!

### 3/5 — Close but no cigar...

*2025-11-16, version 1.4*

I am a geek, a nerd, a gadget freak, and a tech junkie -I test everything!
This app is absolutely excellent in detecting speakerless tags from a distance, However, it fails to detect speakerless tags I'm directly next to and no the exact location of.  It will always stop at around 97%. Not good for tall grass/jumble pile search

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2025-11-07, version 1.4*

I am so glad I downloaded this app. My ex recently taped a tracker to a magnet and put it in my car without my knowledge. Although it did not alert me when I had a tracker moving with me (it was the find my app on iPhone that alerted me), it helped me find where the tracker was in my car, and it was definitely accurate. I had a mechanic help me look for it and it was exactly where the app showed the highest detection percentage. And best part is it’s free!

### 5/5 — It Works!!!

*2025-11-07, version 1.4*

The only app that actually works to detect and find AirTags. All the rest, including Apple’s Find My were useless in even detecting an AirTag that a stalker had dropped in a friends car. This app detected it straight away and guided me to where the AirTag was located. Don’t waste your time with these other apps that don’t work and all they want is your money.

### 3/5 — I don’t know if working

*2025-10-17, version 1.4*

I downloaded this app
because I felt like somebody’s following me to see if there is any truckers on my car. This app only sees my two air tags one on my keys and one  in my car. Today my battery died and I had to take it out and take it for a check, I found tracker attached to my battery this app didn’t even found the tracker that was attached to my battery! So I don’t even know if it works properly on no!

### 5/5 — Ok

*2025-10-08, version 1.4*

Ok

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-10-04, version 1.4*

This app is perfect to know what devices are around you.

### 5/5 — Unwanted Stocking

*2025-09-29, version 1.4*

This app has alarmed me on day one that I might be followed by a tracker. Which was detected 5 times within half an hour during a ride. That could be a false alarm. 
Good app to know if someone following you with bad intentions

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-09-18, version 1.4*

Ty, my girls and I are using this app. First yr on college campus and it’s really helping me to feel better about their safety. Please keep this available always for everyone!

### 5/5 — This is fun

*2025-09-12, version 1.4*

Lets me see all the trackers I bump into during a regular day (excepting the Apple ones, but those are taken care of by Find My app anyways!)

### 2/5 — I am actually being tracked

*2025-08-15, version 1.4*

Hello, 

Peon LEON, ALEXANDER the relaxer. 

Im really being tracked, by two airtag type devices right… so i get your app via app store. Airguard sounds really proficient and the reviews are good. I found it a little strange that it wouldnt pick up on the mysterious airtags. Then as a test i put it right up to a working airtag of mine that i have in the house on a remote. 👎🚫it failed like alaskan hot sause. Im not sure what it alerts too? But its not airtags. Maybe take a look at that guys. This is as bad as it gets. Considering im actually being tracked. 

Sincerely, 
Reviewer

### 5/5 — This tracker finder really works!

*2025-07-17, version 1.4*

I spent $150 buying the kt9000 tracker after my fiancés iPhone notified her of an unknown tracker on her car (Rexzol Wireless Tracker). After spending 3 hours trying to locate the tracker with the kt9000 I gave up and downloaded this app to try something else.  Found it in 30 mins! The app gives you a range from 0-100 which makes it super easy to know when you’re close to the device. A must have app for everyone ESPECIALLY women. Apparently this app also detects other trackers that iPhone doesn’t for extra security and peace of mind. A special thanks to the developers for making this app.

The link to participate in study is not available

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-18, version 1.4*

Standing 2 feet from a tracker tag and the app couldn’t pick it up.. not worth it

### 1/5 — Dose not locate very good

*2026-02-08, version 1.4*

We recently come back from Florida and my apple phone notified me about an air tag located and we do not have an AirTag we down loaded this app and it dose not 
 us find the AirTag that is in our place of rest

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-01-09, version 1.4*

Kept saying my Bluetooth was off on my phone when it was on the entire time

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-12-13, version 1.4*

Hi, just installed on my iPad. My Settings shows that Bluetooth is enabled for Airguard BUT Airguard has a large red error message saying Bluetooth is NOT enabled.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-11-16, version 1.4*

Not working

### 1/5 — Started great but then it disabled itself

*2025-08-15, version 1.4*

Well I was able to track devices that were following me to and from work but then one day it stopped. Plz help.

### 1/5 — Didn’t discover a tile tracker

*2025-03-24, version 1.3.1*

I found a tile tracker  in my car that was NOT detected by AirGuard. I have scanned my vehicle repeatedly for devices and it says “no threat”. I then found a tile device and put it on the counter right next to my phone. It still said, “no threat” while using the AirGuard app and doing a manual scan. I can’t understand it but it sure hasn’t helped me feel safe. At least I didn’t invest money into this.

### 1/5 — Would not work

*2024-12-25, version 1.3*

The app would not connect to my Bluetooth

### 1/5 — Downloaded App cannot open

*2024-10-08, version 1.2*

I’m not able to use it as I cannot get past the first usage message when tapping on “Continue.”

### 5/5 — Works so well I forget about it

*2026-07-12, version 1.4*

Works so well I forget its working until it works; alerting me to nearby tags with accuracy.

### 5/5 — 1 billion stars. Helped when Find My couldn’t.

*2026-07-09, version 1.4*

I was sure I was being tracked with an AirTag as I kept getting notifications from Find My and I almost drove myself to insanity trying to get Find My to Find It. I restarted my phone and made sure location services AND precise location was on for Find My but Find My would not let me play the sound nor get the directions to it. This app, for some reason, allows you to play the sound and rather than directions, a percentage bar to tell you how close to the AirTag you are. After I had finally found the AirTag, Find My started behaving 😂

### 5/5 — Being stalked

*2026-07-07, version 1.4*

Back in November 2025 my ex-boyfriend Christopher Turner was stalking me while we were still together. He tried choking me to death and I left him but still wondered how he knew where I was. By downloading this app I was able to find a Samsung tracker that was located in my trunk.

### 5/5 — 10 starts if I could. It does work.

*2026-05-27, version 1.4*

I always suspected I was being followed or being tracked down. Never heard of this app before. After three days of messing the app and see it what it does my suspicions and were right all the time. It found the lulaven wireless tag hidden on the top edge of the hood by the windshield wipers. I now wondered what was that beep when I would hear it driving. I am an electrician, so many of tools or at least a few used AA batteries. I thought it were my tools beeping. No, I have been tracked down all this time and I knew. Thanks developers. And as for anyone get this app if you need it.
