Find Bluetooth is an app that tracks Bluetooth devices around you, both nearby and distant, displaying on a radar screen the devices it has found and the approximate distance of each one. The farther away a device is, the more blue it will be and the farther from the radar center it will appear. The closer a device is to you, the more red it will be and the closer to the radar center it will appear. The radar displays the device name and Bluetooth signal strength. You can focus on any of the devices by tapping on it. When you tap on it, you'll see a card with more device details, including the device name and signal strength. The app is capable of detecting and identifying devices compatible with Bluetooth LE technology. This includes smartwatches, modern wireless headphones, and mobile devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. The app displays all devices found around you. Many devices share their names, some don't, and these will be identified as "No name" on the radar screen and in the detail card. You can configure the app to hide or show unnamed devices. To do this, tap the settings icon in the upper right corner of the screen and toggle the switch according to your preference.

Verdict

The call
