It does exactly what it describes, helps me find my Fitbit within 2 minutes. “ "It was hidden in plain sight but I didn't have time for this!!! Yah!!! I love it!!!" “It first tells me whether my Fitbit is within the room or not; once I locate the room, walk around, it turns green to notify me that I’m getting close. Then I found my Flex, right under the coffee table!” “Wish I had downloaded this app earlier, so I didn’t need to spend the whole week searching for it.” As long as your fitness tracker still has a little power, it generates signal. This app listens to the strength of the signal, and helps you quickly locate the beaming wristband by using Low Pass Filtering and Maximum Likelihood algorithm. • You can subscribe for Premium Fitbit Finder inside the app; subscriptions are billed weekly or monthly at the rate selected depending on the subscription plan. • Alternatively a one-time payment plan is available (this is not a subscription). • Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. • To manage your subscriptions or turn off auto-renewal: - Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store - Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen - Tap View Apple ID.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Finder for Fitbit ++ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Finder for Fitbit ++ has 37K ratings behind it against 216, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Finder for Fitbit ++'s written reviews are positive against 49% of Fitbit Ace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Finder for Fitbit ++ ships an update every 6 months, Fitbit Ace every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
