Bluetooth Radar Finder helps you detect and locate nearby Bluetooth devices in real time. Use the live radar scanner to view nearby devices, check signal strength, and track whether you are getting closer or farther away. The app shows nearby Bluetooth devices on an animated radar screen with distance-based positioning and signal color indicators. Tap any device to open a detailed view with signal strength, RSSI, estimated distance, and live movement trends. When you enter Find mode, the app uses sounds and haptic feedback to help guide you toward the device. You can save important devices for quick access and receive alerts when they go out of Bluetooth range. Bluetooth Radar Finder also records the last known location where a saved device was detected and displays it on a map. Detection history is stored with timestamps, signal data, and GPS coordinates, and can be exported as CSV when needed. To improve stability, the app smooths signal readings and uses calibrated distance estimation when device broadcast data is available. It also supports accessibility features such as VoiceOver and includes full English and Spanish localization.

Bluetooth signal strength can be affected by walls, furniture, other electronic devices, interference and the environment, so the app cannot guarantee an exact physical location.
