ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bluetooth Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bluetooth Scanner has 309 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Find Items's written reviews are positive against 0% of Bluetooth Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Find Items ships an update every 9 months, Bluetooth Scanner fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
