Lost your earbuds, headphones or keys? This app helps you find them, warns you if you leave them behind, and checks if a hidden tracker is following you. FIND THEM WHEN THEY'RE NEARBY 1. Open the app and tap your item to start Find Nearby. 2. Walk slowly in one direction. The app shows how close you are: Far, In the room, Close, Within arm's reach. 3. Your phone beeps and vibrates faster as you get closer. - It tells you if you're getting closer, and when you walked past it. - Camera view (on supported devices): see the room through your screen as you search. - Lost the signal? It says "Lost contact" instead of guessing. SEE WHERE YOU LEFT THEM - Save your things. If one goes missing, see when the app last detected it, and where on a map if Location was on. - Get walking directions there, and a street-level view where available. - Ask Siri "Where did I leave my keys in BLE Finder?" to hear the place and time. - Get notified once when a saved item is back in range (for gear the app can connect to, not Apple devices). DON'T LEAVE THEM BEHIND - Turn on Left-Behind Alert to get an alert if you walk away without a saved item. Free while the app is on screen. - Pro: Always-On Guard keeps these alerts working when your iPhone is locked (for items it can connect to). - Pro: Before You Go shows what's with you and what's missing. Star the items you always carry and it checks them as you leave home. - Pro: Safe Zones alert you if you leave a place you choose without your item. CHECK FOR HIDDEN TRACKERS — FREE 1. Tap Safety, start a scan and allow Location. 2. Keep walking with the app on screen. A scan takes 10 minutes. 3. If a device moves with you from place to place, you're warned it may be following you. One that stays close for 8 minutes is listed as worth checking. - Found one? Track it down with distance, free. - Warnings are saved on this iPhone for 60 days. Share a report as text. - Your own gear? Tap "This is with me" to ignore it. - If the screen locks, the scan can't detect some trackers, including AirTags. - It can miss some trackers, so keep your iPhone's own tracker alerts on too. KEEP YOUR TAGS WORKING - A warning when a tag's battery is low (for tags that report it). - A heads-up when a saved tag hasn't been detected for 3 days. WATCH, WIDGETS AND SHORTCUTS - Works on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, synced with iCloud. - Apple Watch: find items from your wrist, see what's nearby and where they were last detected. - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your items at a glance. - Control Center, Lock Screen and Action button shortcuts open Find Nearby or the Safety Scan. - Search any device by name or brand. GOOD TO KNOW - Works with Bluetooth earbuds, headphones, speakers, watches and tags (keys need a Bluetooth tag). - It only finds things that are on: earbuds closed in their case or a dead tag stay silent. - Unnamed items show their brand, like "Sony device 3F2A". Rename yours and pick icons. - Swiping the app away pauses alerts until you open it again. FREE Everything above not marked Pro, including the full Safety Scan, plus a one-minute preview of distance and voice guidance. EXACTTRACK PRO - Estimated distance in feet or meters - Voice guidance, and wrist taps on Apple Watch that speed up as you get closer - Always-On Guard - Before You Go and the leaving-home check - Safe Zones - 7-day location history, and where you usually leave it Monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bluetooth Lost BLE Finder at none against Device Tracker's shown. Bluetooth Lost BLE Finder also leads on ratings volume (222 vs 26) and device support (4 vs 2). Device Tracker's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Bluetooth Lost BLE Finder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Device Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Device Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bluetooth Lost BLE Finder has 222 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Bluetooth Lost BLE Finder's written reviews are positive against 50% of Device Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bluetooth Lost BLE Finder ships an update monthly, Device Tracker fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
