Find the Bluetooth devices that matter to you with a clear, friendly signal guide. Found helps you scan for nearby Bluetooth accessories, choose the device you are looking for, and follow changes in signal strength as you move. Use it for earbuds, headphones, speakers, watches, and other Bluetooth devices that are powered on and broadcasting nearby. FIND WHAT IS NEARBY • See nearby Bluetooth devices in one easy-to-read list • Refresh the scan when you move to a new room or area • Open a device to review its live signal information FOLLOW THE SIGNAL • Choose a device and walk around slowly • Use warmer and colder guidance as the signal changes • Review signal strength, estimated proximity, and reading confidence GET MORE WITH FOUND PRO • View signal charts and cross-session device history • Get sound and haptic alerts when a selected device enters the very-close signal range • Review recurrence and signal-stability clues for devices that keep returning nearby • Remove ads while Pro access is active Basic scanning and the signal finder remain available without a purchase. New users can explore Pro tools during welcome access. Found Pro is available as a weekly auto-renewable subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock. The App Store shows the exact local price and purchase terms before confirmation. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings and restore eligible purchases from the Pro screen. GOOD TO KNOW Bluetooth signal readings are estimates, not GPS locations. Walls, pockets, interference, device hardware, and movement can change a reading. A device must be powered on, within Bluetooth range, and broadcasting to appear. Security results are automated clues based on nearby signal patterns; they cannot identify an owner, confirm that a device is a tracker, or guarantee personal safety. Bluetooth access is requested when you choose to start scanning.

Verdict
Blue Sniff and Found both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 57% of Blue Sniff's written reviews are positive against 21% of Found's. Blue Sniff also leads on ratings volume (378 vs 15) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Found's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 30 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Blue Sniff sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Found sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Found holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blue Sniff has 378 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Blue Sniff's written reviews are positive against 21% of Found's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Blue Sniff ships an update every 30 months, Found weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
