### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2018-05-21, version 2.0*

Want my money back

### 1/5 — CON GAME

*2017-03-06, version 1.0*

This app is clearly not responding and/or functioning. Your business should be investigated, for leaving this in the app store as a valid item, for purchase. (CON GAME)

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2017-02-22, version 1.0*

Not at all helpful.  It keeps saying the device disconnected even when other apps can detect the device. Waste.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Bluetooth / Fitbit Finder!

*2017-02-19, version 1.0*

I knew my fitbit was in my house somewhere but I could not find it. This app allows me to select it from an list of Bluetooth devices, then create a graph that updates once per second showing the signal strength. I found it in my car in my garage in less than two minutes. Excellent app!!

### 5/5 — Worked for me!

*2017-01-26, version 1.0*

Worked to find my Fitbit a couple of times. Simple graph shows if you're getting closer or farther away. Well worth the $0.99.

### 5/5 — Simple and Works!!!

*2016-12-15, version 1.0*

My Jawbone Up3 kept falling off my wrist and this time I had no idea where I dropped it. I knew it was near my house because it would randomly connect to my phone from different areas in my house. I tried a few free apps and either they didn't find any signal (even when it was clearly connected to my iPhone) or they connected but would only show the change in signal strength (or RSSI) once every 3 or 4 minutes. Completely useless when walking around the house trying to ping it. I was hesitant to pay for an app (especially some for 4 or 5 bucks that seemed like scams) but this app's price was right at only a couple dollars. The app is simple and connected right away. The RSSI was converted into a simple graph which showed you how close you are to it. A couple tips: 1. Remember that the signal goes through most objects and can go through floors, ceilings, and walls. 2. Once you connect, remember to walk slowly with the phone held away from your body for maximum signal potential. 3. Despite other apps with icons that show a radar screen, all phones can only tell the signal strength of a passive device and don't work like radar showing you the exact location in comparison to you so be patient and think of what is around you, above you, below you, behind you, or in my case through heavy plaster walls, brick, and 15 feet across my driveway and wedged in the seat of my car.

### 5/5 — Missing device locator

*2016-11-27, version 1.0*

Works great. iPhone does not have any way to provide directional detail on Bluetooth signal, but the graphical signal strength chart shows you relative changes every few seconds, which allows for gradual narrowing of the search area.

### 1/5 — Did not find Garmin watch

*2016-07-14, version 1.0*

Discovery by this app only found a few BLE devices and did not discover my Bluetooth connected Garmin Vivoactive watch.
