## What is Gizmo Finder?

Amazing AUGMENTED REALITY MARKER to GUIDE YOUR SEARCH, you can FIND LOST AirPods, Fitbit, Watch or ANY Bluetooth gadget.

The MOST ADVANCED AND USEFUL general-purpose Bluetooth device finder:

1. Open the app and tap your device from the list. You can change the device name if you want.
2. Adjust device and environment characteristics via the 2 sliders until the initial distance estimate seems about right.
3. Zigzag to at least 4 stops in any pattern, staying still on every stop while signal is being read.
4. An augmented reality marker will appear on the camera and the mini-map. The marker is the estimated position of the signal source given all parameters and received signal.
5. Go towards the marker and turn on raw signal view. When the blue line is over the average line it means the signal is getting stronger and you are getting nearer your precious gadget.

Download and Enjoy!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2020-08-19, version 3*

Cool apps

### 4/5 — It works I guess?

*2020-08-02, version 3*

It does help you find your lost or hidden Bluetooth devices but it’s not easy and takes time. It finds so many different ones and most aren’t yours and immediately have no signal once clicked on. I wish it had a better library of Mac addresses so you could choose to go after the right device and not guess off the mac addy. Other then that it’s cool!

### 4/5 — Works with some patience

*2020-05-13, version 3*

Solid app that performs as well as any with the significant advantage of a Color coded dial

### 1/5 — Give me my money back!

*2020-05-06*

Complete waste of money. Signal jumps all over the place when everything is sitting still. With dozens of Bluetooth devices in the house, it only picked up the 3 iPhones. Not even my husband’s phone, Jabra earbuds, or our Google assistant all right next to me. Wanted to find my pencil. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK - THIEF!

**Developer response:** The app cannot produce more than what the iOS framework can detect. If this app cannot scan it, no other app can. For refunds please contact Apple.

### 5/5 — E Stark @ Dallas TX

### 5/5 — GREAT FOR FINDING IPODS

*2019-11-03, version 3*

A must have for finding misplaced iPods. Works great for other devices as well.
