Need to find a lost earbud, Bluetooth headphone, earphone, headset, remote, wallet tracker, watch, or nearby device? Earbuds Locator scans powered-on Bluetooth signals around you and helps you move toward the stronger signal. Open the scanner, choose the likely device, then follow the live signal radar. Move slowly, watch the trend, use Play Sound when audio is connected, and save a Rescue Receipt for what you checked. What you can do: - Scan nearby Bluetooth devices - Find earbuds, headphones, earphones, headsets, remotes, watches, trackers, and BLE tags that are powered on and broadcasting - Follow a smoother signal radar instead of guessing - See an approximate range bucket, not fake exact GPS - Use Play Sound when your iPhone can route audio to the device - Save Last Found Place and room memory for calmer repeat searches - Keep a Rescue Receipt after a found or narrowed search Important limits: Earbuds Locator cannot find a powered-off device, a dead battery, a closed case that is not broadcasting, or a device outside Bluetooth range. Indoor Bluetooth can be noisy, so the app uses signal trend, confidence, and room-by-room guidance instead of pretending to know an exact location. Search first, upgrade later. Pro unlocks unlimited saved devices, room memory, and saved rescue context after the app has already shown useful signal guidance. ## Key features - Scan nearby Bluetooth signals - Live signal radar - Approximate range indicator - Play sound through iOS audio output - Save last found location - Mark areas as checked ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Buds Locator Pro | $4.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 70) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/earbuds-locator-device-finder/id1495817993/reviews.md ### 5/5 — I love it *2022-06-20, version 1.11* This app is great not too many ads and I always helps me find my AirPods as long as there not in water or completely dead of charge . ### 5/5 — Lost in the orchard *2022-04-08, version 1.11* I thought the iPhone buds would silence when one dropped out.
