Lost your wireless earbuds, headphones, or any Bluetooth device? Find Device Bluetooth Scanner helps you locate nearby Bluetooth gadgets fast using signal strength ā no extra hardware needed. Find Device Bluetooth Scanner requires a paid subscription to unlock its scanning and tracking features. HOW IT WORKS Your iPhone scans for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices and shows how close you are with a live signal meter. Walk around and watch the signal grow stronger as you get closer to your lost item. WHAT YOU CAN FIND - Wireless earbuds and Bluetooth headphones - Bluetooth speakers and audio devices - Smart tags and item trackers - Keyboards, mice, and other BLE accessories - Any device broadcasting a Bluetooth signal FEATURES - Live signal strength meter ā hot/cold guidance to your device - Real-time scanning of all nearby Bluetooth devices - Clean, simple radar-style interface - Sort devices by proximity - Works entirely on-device ā your data stays private WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT No more digging through couch cushions or retracing your steps blindly. Just open the app, start scanning, and follow the signal straight to your missing device. NOTE This app locates devices that actively broadcast a Bluetooth signal. It cannot find powered-off devices or items without Bluetooth. Range depends on the device and environment. SUBSCRIPTION ā REQUIRED FOR FULL FUNCTIONALITY A paid subscription is required to use this app's core features, including live signal metering, real-time Bluetooth scanning, and proximity tracking. Subscription options are weekly, monthly, or yearly. - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. - Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the end of the current period. - Manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store account settings. - Any unused portion of a free trial, if offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

cool-radar turns the radios already inside your iPhone into a radar for the devices around you ā with no extra hardware, and without inventing a single number. WHAT YOU SEE Nearby Bluetooth LE devices appear as contacts with an estimated distance, a bearing once there is enough geometry to support one, and a ranked guess at what each device actually is. The Wi-Fi card shows the link your phone is really on: type, interface, local address and subnet, the default gateway and the gateway's manufacturer. Where both ends have UWB hardware, distance stops being an estimate and becomes a measurement. HONEST BY DESIGN Every value carries a badge. "Measured" is a hardware reading. "Inferred" is a value the math derived. Distances read "ā 4.5 m" because radio ranging is an estimate, not a ruler. When there is not enough geometry for a direction, the app draws a ring of possible positions and a question mark instead of a convincing-looking arrow. And when iOS simply does not expose something ā neighbouring Wi-Fi networks, raw spectrum, Wi-Fi CSI ā the app says so instead of filling the gap with fiction. THE MATH INSIDE ⢠Log-distance path-loss inversion, with a per-device exponent that recalibrates itself from the geometry you walk ⢠Kalman filtering with motion-gated noise, so a device that is standing still stops drifting on screen ⢠Robust multilateration with Huber weights, so a single reflection off a wall cannot drag a position across the room ⢠A naive-Bayes hypothesis engine that ranks device types from the broadcast name, company ID, advertised GATT services, transmit power, address policy and advertising cadence ā and shows you the evidence behind every guess ⢠Behaviour analytics over the signal time series: advertising interval, jitter, trend and periodicity ⢠Radio tomography that maps excess path loss into an attenuation picture of the space FEATURES ⢠Top-down radar with range rings, pinch to zoom, double tap to reset ⢠Device list with search and type filters ⢠Device card with signal history, ranked hypotheses and the evidence for each ⢠Unwanted-tracker heuristics based on public advertising patterns ⢠CSV export of a session ⢠Full Russian and English, switchable inside the app PRIVACY All sensing and all math run on your iPhone. No account, no analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifier. One optional setting ā off until you turn it on ā may send a 24-bit manufacturer prefix to a public vendor database to name your router. Nothing else ever leaves the device. Use cool-radar only on networks and devices you are entitled to inspect. It does not decrypt Find My identities, does not enumerate neighbouring Wi-Fi networks, and provides no covert tracking of people. REQUIREMENTS iOS 18 or later. Bluetooth works on every iPhone. UWB distance needs U1/U2 hardware on both devices. Room geometry needs a LiDAR model. Anything unavailable on your hardware is shown as unavailable rather than simulated.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: cool at none against Find Device Bluetooth Scanner's 3. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
