BLE Finder is the fastest and most accurate Bluetooth scanner for iPhone. Whether you need to locate a lost device, identify unknown gadgets around you, monitor signal strength in real time, or simply explore every BLE device in your environment — BLE Finder gives you a complete, instant picture of everything broadcasting a Bluetooth signal nearby. FIND LOST DEVICES IN SECONDS We’ve all been there — lost AirPods buried in a couch, wireless earbuds left somewhere in a bag, a headset you can’t remember placing. BLE Finder scans all active Bluetooth signals and shows you live RSSI readings so you can physically track down any device by walking toward stronger signal. Lost a speaker? A smartwatch? A fitness band? As long as the device has Bluetooth and a remaining charge, BLE Finder can detect it. The closer you get, the stronger the signal — find your device room by room, drawer by drawer, in seconds. Supported devices include: - AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max - Wireless earbuds of any brand - Headphones and headsets - Portable and smart speakers - Apple Watch and other smartwatches - Fitness bands and health trackers - Any Bluetooth 4.0+ or BLE accessory DETECT HIDDEN & UNKNOWN DEVICES BLE Finder goes beyond simple device lookup. It scans your full environment and surfaces every Bluetooth signal in range — including ones you didn’t put there. Worried about a hidden camera? Concerned about an unknown tracker on your belongings? Bluetooth-based surveillance devices broadcast a signal that BLE Finder can detect. If it’s on and within range, it shows up. You’ll see the device name, manufacturer, UUID, and live signal strength — everything you need to identify whether a device belongs to you or is suspicious. BLE Finder puts you in control of your Bluetooth environment. REAL-TIME RADAR VIEW BLE Finder’s radar-style proximity display shows every detected device plotted by signal distance, updated in real time. Instantly see which devices are nearby and which are far away, and watch them move as you walk around. The most intuitive way to locate a device when you know it’s close but can’t pinpoint it. FULL DEVICE DETAILS Tap any device in the scan list to see: - Device name and advertised service name - Manufacturer information - UUID / hardware identifier - Live RSSI signal strength with history graph - First seen and last seen timestamps - Connectable vs non-connectable status Whether you’re a developer debugging a BLE integration, a security-minded user auditing your space, or someone trying to find a lost earbud — this level of detail makes BLE Finder far more powerful than a basic scanner.

Simple BLE Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ble Scanner Bluetooth Finder has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Simple BLE Scanner's written reviews are positive against 25% of Ble Scanner Bluetooth Finder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simple BLE Scanner ships an update every 36 months, Ble Scanner Bluetooth Finder fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 10, 2026.
