I shut my iPhone off when not using it and clapper didn’t work when phone was off- which is when I’d need it most. ### 4/5 — High *2025-02-22, version 1.7* Ifhhbvvcvv cc b n hv he cd v fb ### 2/5 — Great idea for an app *2025-02-22* But I turned on « Start and dialed up the sensitivity and it doesn’t recognize my loud clap. I went to the support page - no form to respond on Safari browser. Would love for this to work. **Developer response:** Hi There, We have just released a new version on the store with some bug fixes, few improvement and added setup instruction.

Your comments are valuable to us as we continue to improve our app. Thanks ### 4/5 — ok *2025-02-22, version 1.7* ok ### 5/5 — T *2025-02-22, version 1.7* Thanks! ### 5/5 — Traveller_2025 *2025-02-22* I loved the app from the first use ### 5/5 — My dream app!! *2025-02-22* This app is a blessing! I can’t count the number of times I’ve lost my phone for hours sometimes, and I need my phone to authenticate my work/job duties as a security measure. ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2025-02-22* A must for seniors and absent-minded people. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-02-22, version 1.7* Good app thanks ### 5/5 — Phone finder *2025-02-22* Great app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Non va *2025-09-17, version 2.3* Non funziona per niente ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-03-17* I set the notifications according to the directions, but nothing happens when I clap ### 1/5 — Unclear instructions *2025-02-23, version 1.7* Doesn’t do what it purports to do ### 1/5 — Non funziona *2025-02-22, version 1.7* Anche avendogli dato tutti i permessi sul mio iPhone 13 non funziona. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-02-22, version 1.7* Bad ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-02-22, version 1.7* I tried with high sensitivity. Clapping, whistling… right on top of the phone but it failed to recognise all the sounds. Also you will have to Keep the App open which will drain the battery. Developer need to work on this App to use this App in background. ### 1/5 — What? *2025-02-22, version 1.7* Doesn’t work deleted app! ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-02-22* I activate the app but nothing happens when I clap my hands ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as intended *2025-02-22, version 1.7* Thought it would be interesting as I lose my phone in my room and it would be so convenient to just clap and find it. Tested it out and it would barely even work even with 100% sensitivity. Had to clap directly next to the phone to get it to register (loud clap in a silent room). Plus you have to manually turn it on to work so if you forget to turn it on and lose it you’re screwed. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht / Doesn‘t work *2025-02-21, version 1.7* Die App zeigt schon fast keinerlei (genauer: 2x von 100 Versuchen ) Reaktion, wenn man in Sichtweite oder direkt daneben ist. Von weiter weg braucht man es dann schon gar nicht zu versuchen - übrigens bei 100% Empfindlichkeit. Ferner muss die Lautstärke auf laut stehen, sonst vibriert das Smartphone nur. Liegt es unter einem Kissen, findet man es nur zufällig beim Aufräumen wieder. // The app shows almost no reaction (more precisely: 2x out of 100 attempts) if you are within sight or right next to it. You don't even need to try from further away - at 100% sensitivity, by the way. The volume must also be set to loud, otherwise the smartphone will only vibrate. If it is under a pillow, you will only find it by chance when tidying up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-03-14, version 2.4* Ok ### 5/5 — Bien *2025-05-04, version 2.0* Bien ### 5/5 — Working Great *2025-03-06* This is incredible for people like me who frequently misplace their phones. I can't count how many times I've asked my husband to call me so I could locate my phone, or even enlisted the whole family to help when I had turned the volume off before losing it. 😵‍💫 With the sound, vibration, and flashlight feature, I now have no excuse for not finding it myself. Thank you for this simple yet powerful app! ### 5/5 — Clapping *2025-03-05, version 2.0* Good ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-03-01* For someone that loses everything, I loose everything ### 5/5 — ABED *2025-02-26, version 1.8* AMIRI ### 5/5 — Yes! “The Clapper” for my brand new phone is even better than insurance. *2025-02-25* Well done to the developer team for the most reliable, swiftest, and dare I say the most fun? Yes. Yes, I do. The Phone Finder by Clap is hands down the most fun I’ve had with any other (subpar) phone finder app. It’s saved me from leaving my phone on the plane. Twice. Not something I’m proud of. Just grateful to have my new phone back. I’m grounded for a while now and enjoying it solely as a party trick. All to the 3 (and counting) new converts to this awesome app. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Very *2025-02-22, version 1.7* Good ### 5/5 — Works as Described *2025-02-22* Yes, it’s that simple! ### 5/5 — great *2025-02-22, version 1.7* perf app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
