Tried the ‘Find iPhone’ app, and it at least confirmed that it was somewhere in the house. Tried a couple of other apps, and they were garbage. Still took some time to find (iPhone was in a really obscure place), but this app saved the day. Turned out the the ringer was off, so that’s what made it so hard to find. Thanks for making this app so awesome. ### 5/5 — great app *2019-04-08, version 3* works great ### 5/5 — Interesting working application *2019-04-06, version 3* Helps know what’s around you and possibly help find scamming hacking and conning individuals around!!! And free so far so yea... cool stuff!!!💎🙃💎 KMF... ### 5/5 — Works well for being free *2019-04-02, version 3* This is a better alternative to the ones that cost money, works well ### 5/5 — Found my Fitbit *2019-04-02, version 3* Thanks to this app I found my Fitbit wedged between my Pilots console and seat! ### 5/5 — The bastard, the apple pen, the couch, and the wardrobe. *2019-03-30, version 3* Lost my Apple Pencil...was in my couch, deep inside. Had to cut it out. Would not of had resolve to so if not for the “at hand signal” strength I was getting. Was an expensive couch compared to how much i make and it’s rebuy value...but no one going to see the bottom 😎 hell the pen is expensive too. ### 5/5 — Works Well!!!! Found my Apple Air Pod *2019-03-30, version 3* Works Well!!!! Found my 1 lost Apple Air Pod in the folds of my couch!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Wow *2019-03-29, version 3* I’m very surprised that it actually worked because none of these apps really ever work but this one did ### 5/5 — Handy app *2019-03-28* Does work well helped me find lost earphones ### 4/5 — So far so good! *2019-03-13, version 2* Works as advertised :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not sure what jumble of numbers to choose on creeng app. I have no current WiFi and it didn’t seem t *2024-03-25* Not really sure what is happening and very confused ### 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well At ALL! *2019-06-05, version 3* Lost a device in a gym. Downloaded it to help me find the device as it was in range and linking to my phone. No option on the add to immediately show you a device that’s hooked to the phone. Didn’t know the number of the device and there were hundreds of other devices around because we were in a gym. So I couldn’t locate my item and renders this app utterly useless to me. Thanks for nothing I want my money back. **Developer response:** You can edit the name of the devices so you can easily identify yours. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2019-04-28, version 3* I headphones were right next to me and this scanner could not find it . So if you are wanting to look for wireless beats don’t waste your money on this app. ### 1/5 — Great idea but needs fine tuning *2019-03-30, version 3* It finds EVERY Bluetooth in radius not those just hooked to your phone. That sure cuts done the possibilities of finds yours...ummm not. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as good as it should *2019-03-24, version 2* This app cant name the serial number of my lost devices so all i see is the serial numbers ### 1/5 — Worthless for me *2019-03-22, version 2* I bought the app to find my missing apple pen...I scoured the house trying to pick up its signal to no avail (while spending the majority of the time in the room I suspected it was)...resorted to old school methods and tore the room apart...apple pen was found under a mattress, which was a foot away from where I searched with the app while laying in bed...waste of money for me ### 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 ### 4/5 — Test *2019-03-30, version 3* I wanna test it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works good *2023-03-26* Fast find device. ### 5/5 — Find My devices *2021-06-15, version 5.0.1* It helps me to locate things on my network I like how it works for me ### 5/5 — trouble *2020-09-24, version 4* When i start app, app ask me to allow camera and bluetooth, when i try to allow bluetooth app doesn’t respond, with camera is ok, please give me a tip to fix this, thanks! **Developer response:** You can go to the stock Apple Settings app and search for Gizmo Finder and set the permissions there. You can also try deleting and reinstalling. ### 5/5 — Nice *2020-08-19, version 3* Cool apps ### 5/5 — E Stark @ Dallas TX *2020-01-05, version 3* Unbelievable Try it now cause u Will then believe how incredible this iOS APPLICATION can be & deliver the information you seek. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Life saver *2019-07-29, version 3* Excellent app! ### 5/5 — beat *2019-05-08* well done ### 5/5 — I dont know how to use this ;w; *2019-05-07, version 3* Ive had my applen pencil lost for 3-4 months now. I just downloaded today (5/7/19) and it wont show my pencil in the main part. Im giving a five star because i know this app could work ### 5/5 — Angels came down and made this *2019-04-25, version 3* This is hands down the best app ever for finding your phone or anything with blue tooth. It has been a life saver. For finding my phones, tablets and Fitbit. Seriously if I could put a Bluetooth in my brain so I could find it because sometimes I loose my mind, life would be perfect. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
