Lost your Bluetooth Headphone, Earbud, Phone, or Device? If you want to find it, install this app! It'll help you find your lost device in seconds! Take action now, before the battery runs out! This app works with any BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0) Headphone, Earbud, Phone, or Device, including AirPods, Apple, Beats, Bose, Samsung, B&O, JBL, Sony, Jabra, and many other Bluetooth devices. Use it whenever you or your family misplace a device – and save the money you'd otherwise need to spend on a new one! "ALARMING" THE LOST HEADPHONE: When the signal strength is high, but you still can't see your headphone, you can use the app to play a sound alarm on your lost headphone so you can follow the sound. This help you find your lost headphone faster and more easily than just randomly looking around. To play a sound on your lost headphone, please tap "Change Audio Output" on the Radar screen and select your lost headphone as the audio output. Increase the volume to maximum, then tap the radar to play the alarm sound on your lost headphone. RADAR OPTIMIZED FOR DETECTING HEADPHONES: Some small headphones may radiate a weaker Bluetooth BLE signal compared to normal Bluetooth devices. To better detect these headphones and find them more easily, turn ON the "Optimize the sensitivity" option in the Settings screen. This will increase the sensitivity of the signal detection, so the reported signal strength will be more accurate. TRACKING FUNCTION: You can enable tracking for devices in the background by turning on the switch next to the device on the list, the application will then ping the tracked devices from time to time and remember the last location and time the device was seen. This is very useful when you’re travelling and want to keep your devices safe. You will receive a notification when your tracked device is disconnected or lost. When you tap the notification message on the Lock screen, it will open the app and shows the last known location and time of your lost device on a map.

NOTE: The app can locate any Bluetooth device that is broadcasting a BLE signal. FAQ: What is the difference between "Bluetooth BLE Device Finder" app and this "Find My Phone & Device" app? This app provides more functions (e.g. Alarming Headphone, New Radar). Also, it is optimized for detecting small headphones/earbuds/devices that radiates a weaker Bluetooth signal compared to normal Bluetooth devices. To better detect these headphones/earbuds/devices and help users find them more easily, users can turn ON the "Optimize the sensitivity" option in the Settings screen. This will increase the sensitivity of the signal detection, so the reported signal strength will be more accurate for small Bluetooth devices with a weak BLE signal.
