Search and find your missplaced BLE or Bluetooth devices with this simple scanner app. Simply scan for devices in the environment and select the oine you want to locate. It will then show signal strength and the direction you are facing in a "Radar screen look" allowing you to see where the signal ius strongest. Usually when the signal gets stronger, you get closer to the device until its directly infront of you. You never had this issue? You put your wireless in-ear headphones somewhere and can't remember where. They are even connected to your phone, but playing music would not work because those modern erapΓΌhones only play while ion your ear. Also they would not be very loud... At this point, this app is very usefull. Just select the device and follow the signal. You can even mark a device as favourite so you can find it faster when it happens again. Otherwise the devices you connected to will be persistently stored in a list. Long press on a device in the list to get some additional information about it. All this functionality without the need to be online, without payment or hidden fees, without registration and without advertisement.
