Find Bluetooth Device Finder holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find Bluetooth Device Finder has 122 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Scanner Bluetooth's written reviews are positive against 29% of Find Bluetooth Device Finder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scanner Bluetooth ships an update every 84 months, Find Bluetooth Device Finder every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
