Heer is a Bluetooth device detector, it makes use of BLE technology to discover Bluetooth Low Energy devices around you, in addition to other Bluetooth accessories as well. Use Cases - Finding your lost phone or other Bluetooth devices like wireless earphones - Detecting the presence of hidden or unwanted bluetooth devices Exclude Devices Your other Bluetooth devices, like wireless earphones and smart watches, may interfere with the app’s alerting mechanism while looking for other devices so we’ve provided a tool to exclude your devices on startup to avoid false alarms. Background Running Bluetooth scanning isn’t available to scan for unknown devices in the background so we came up with 3 different solutions to match the same experience: 1. Apple watch: we made a companion Apple Watch app for you to use and continue using your phone for your daily tasks uninterrupted. (Works with ‘always on display’ enabled Apple Watches) 2. iOS auto lock prevention: when you launch most apps on your iPhone or any other iOS devices, often times the screen dims down and goes to sleep after a short period of inactivity. With Heer, we have disabled auto screen lock for the freedom of running it for however long you want. 3. Guided access lock: guided access provides the security for you to keep the app running while the device is locked. It is best used in case you want to keep your phone in your pocket to either prevent accidental taps or the security when someone else possesses your phone.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Find My Device at 4.5 against Heer's 4.0. Find My Device also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Heer's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 48%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Find My Device holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find My Device has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Find My Device's written reviews are positive against 80% of Heer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
