I’ll have to say this app has help me many times to find one of my AirPods.i have tried many apps but this one has worked the best for me. I would definitely recommend this app.👍👍

### 5/5 — A must-have quick fix

*2024-12-29, version 1.0.2*

I could find my Bluetooth earbuds in 5 minutes as opposed to frantically searching for days and nights. This was so quick and easy to use, contrary to other tracking apps which require a paid subscription just to open😑. Great app overall!!!

### 5/5 — Well done

*2024-08-10*

Great app. Easy to use, pinpoint accuracy.

### 4/5 — Warmth and cold

*2024-05-31*

It does take awhile to find the device but overall this is a great app to use and if the warmth and cold didn’t drop so dramatically this app would easily earn a 5 star rating but this is a great app to have

### 5/5 — Very handy utility

*2023-10-18, version 1.0.2*

Works as described. Found it very useful as a key finder. I just attached an old mini speaker to my keys and wammo! Find them every time.

### 1/5 — It don’t work that well 7 hr too find

No

### 1/5 — it doesn’t work

*2023-08-06, version 1.0.2*

this didn’t help at all

### 1/5 — Bru

*2023-06-14*

Oh, I hit them, and then went away and walked outside and then walked back inside where I knew I had them, and when I was right by the AirPods, it said I was cold. This thing will never help if I don’t ever know where it is.

### 5/5 — Bluetooth finder

*2023-06-09, version 1.0.2*

Led me right to my hearing aids.Had to use a rake in the grass to find them! Thank you very much!
