Finder for Fitbit Reviews

I misplaced my Fitbit and spent about 3 hours looking for it. I had previously bought another product but it couldn’t seem to find it. I checked out this product and it helped me narrow my search to one room. Using the free version was very annoying since it searched for a few seconds and then an ad popped up, which slowed down my search. I wasn’t going to contemplate buying it unless it actually found my Fitbit. Finder kept leading me to the same place so I grabbed my flashlight and started searching. I actually found it dangling from my pants, which were hanging in the closet. I immediately bought Finder and recommend the “pro” version. Now I’m ready for the next time I misplace my Fitbit.

I unfortunately misplace things often, I get frustrated and can never remember where I put things. Well I also don’t buy apps but the adds were just making me more frustrated! But in longer than I would like to admit I found my Fitbit within ten minutes with the add free app! I have been looking for it for DAYS to say the least without it. It was in my dirty clothes hamper but not in a pocket or anything! So I must of picked it up in the pile or something but needles to say not in a normal place I would put it! Super happy about my purchase. Will save because it’s inevitable I will misplace again.

I was going crazy trying to find my Fitbit. I had Finder on my phone but I purchased another which was useless and didn’t include my device. As I became more frustrated I went back to Finder as a last ditch effort. I forgot that I had used it for my old Fitbit a few years ago. These other apps had a myriad of directives but Finder only required that the blue tooth be turned off. All of a sudden my device popped up and the arch ensued. As I followed the signal I found my device within 7 minutes. Finder is the truth!!!!

Omg, I can’t believe I found my Fitbit chrge2!
I lost it when I was walking thru the garage but didn’t kno when it had come off & mayb in the car but I tried a few apps - one free one that led me to my husbands chge 2 so if there wasn’t another in the house that wld hav worked but the only app that did specifically track mine cost 2.99!but it really worked!!
It told me I was getting closer & to start looking around in a specific area!
So amazed & thrilled since battery was really low!
Now I hav to buy new straps bc that’s what broke- wish that part of it was made better tho. 👍😊.

I can’t believe this worked. I disabled Bluetooth on every single device in the house except what I was using to find the Fitbit. I spent two days looking. It was a huge process of elimination. It kept showing 50-75% strength in a couple rooms. However this was because these rooms were above my garage where the Fitbit was. As I eliminated rooms and headed in the basement then to the garage the strength meter kept getting stronger. Why didn’t I find it sooner? I’d looked in the garage day 1 but did not look close enough in my tool chest. Hey Fitbit, make a ping / locator capability!!!!

My wife and I spent all morning looking for her lost Fitbit 3. We were sure it was in the house but had no luck locating it. I googled find my Fitbit and downloaded several apps with no luck. Then I tried this one and it immediately started giving me results. When it was very close it told me it was nearby. Even though we had searched this area several times. I pulled the couch out and we finally located it on a shelf under the couch that we never would have seen if not for Finder.

Finder was a great help. It works best during daylight hours though spent two hours looking over 100 square-foot area in the dark. It did a good job Telling me where it should be. I went back in the morning found it in three minutes. So yes this is a very good app. It did what it was supposed to and was well worth paying for. I'm sure the free app would've worked well but the pop up ads were annoying. Now I need to buy a chain to secure my Fitbit so I don't lose it again.

I lost my fitbit three days ago. It is nearly the end of the battery by now. It is somewhere in my house because it will still sync to my phone, just no step. For some reason this ap thinks it’s everywhere in the house. I got a full rainbow bar like it was there in the kitchen. After taking everything out of the cabinets, I tried the tracker again and nothing. The next day I tried it and it said a full rainbow bar in my bedroom closet which is on another floor and side of the house so I’m unclear why this isn’t working but I’m officially giving up after three days of mixed results and not finding it. Big sigh, I’m sure it will turn up, just not by using this ap.

Really this feature should be included in the Fitbit app itself. The free version sorta works except ads always pop-up when you’re close to the device; it’s very annoying. The paid version simply drops the ad and gives you the info without ads popping up faster than you can read the location information. It works great and smoothly but it really should be a part of Finder in the first place rather than an “ad-on”

Worked pretty well except that we have both a flex and a flex2 in our house. Because there is no Flex2 in the drop down, it toggled between the two making it much harder to find my Flex2. Would be a solid 5 stars if that didn't happen. Found my device eventually.

I paid over $4 (with tax) for Finder, and Finder turned out to be faulty. Finder kept freezing on me and was not working properly. I close, cleared, and reopened Finder numerous times, and it still was faulty. I then sent in a refund request to Apple, and I was denied a refund. I had to pay the developer over $4 of my money, just so I could download a faulty app. I ended up having to download a free version of another app and found the Fitbit. I don’t believe I should be the one paying for an app that kept failing. All other apps on my phone work just smoothly, except this one. Poor app production, as well as ripping people off.

Great app once you understand how it works. It’s best to put Finder on another device like your iPad so you can sync your Tracker on your iPhone then use the IPad to find because Finder finds the tracker by Fitbit syncing process. Once I was using both devices and a strong flashlight to look under my drivers car seat. The Fitbit is black and car interior is black. Going today to get a brighter strap.

After spending hours looking for my Fitbit Zip I bought Finder . Unfortunately I didn't find my Zip using Finder , however found it by looking manually. After I found my Zip I tapped it to "wake" it up to send a signal (like I would when syncing it to the Fitbit app on my iPhone). Finder does find it and says "getting closer" when I put the Zip next to my iPad. So Finder does work, just not with a dormant Zip which isn't actively sending a signal from being "awake" by tapping the Zip, etc.

I was just about to work out and noticed I didn’t have my Fitbit on. I looked everywhere for 30 mins and I could not find it and so I googled and found Finder, I ended up paying for the pro version because the free version has so many ads. But within five minutes I found my Fitbit which was under my couch lol.

I know where I lost my Fitbit, but I can’t find it. The free app never worked even with their recommendations. I stood in the spot where I took it off, and there was a strong signal, but then as I walked through my room and my house, I still have a “stronger signal.” I think Finder would work great if you lived in a clutter free area. Instead of a strong signal indicator, I agree with other reviewers that I wish it had a directional this app. I want it to literally point the direction my Fitbit is in. But hey, it’s only $4 and worth trying to see if it works for you.

My own fault believing reviews and purchased Finder . Eventually I found my Fitbit “on my own”. Finder kept on telling me to walk around the area and I’m getting closer. But the area Finder directing me was at least 80 feet away from where the Fitbit was actually found. As a fact, I held it in my left hand and ran Finder to see if Finder could find it. And the answer is big NO! It keeps on searching. Don’t waste your precious $4. NOT WORTH IT! Too bad no money back guarantee on app purchases! And I’ve never posted any kind of review but the truth has to be told!

I lost just the tracker for my Flex. I spent 45 minutes last night trying to find it and Finder kept taking me to the trash can. I looked but didn’t find it. This morning I tried again and Finder was right! After going through leaves and junk I found it! So small and black and easily missed but Finder kept telling me HERE! Thank you FitBit this app! Trust it!

4 days after my wife lost her Fitbit, and after spending 139 USD for a new one, I decided to try Finder . We found her Fitbit deep inside one of the grass clipping bags outside the house. The bracelet was broken, so we assume it broke while she was stuffing the bags... I really recommend the paid version as it doesn’t stop working between ads.

I was using the free app and it would have worked but the ads were annoying. That being said — I was so upset and worried it had slipped off during errands but then I found it in my robe pocket where I wouldn’t have looked at all until tomorrow. I am happy to give some money for peace of mind!!

I thought I lost my Fitbit outside the house. I used another app that was very poorly designed and it didn't tell me much of anything. I first downloaded he free version and I liked the interface, but the ads were too annoying. I purchased the full version and it led me directly to my Fitbit! So glad I bought it!

The ads popping up every three seconds in the free app are so annoying that I bought the Pro. I did Forget the Device in my Bluetooth settings. Finder kept showing that I was very close but I couldn't find it until I went back to the FitBit app, Account, click on your device icon, Silent Alarm. Set a silent alarm for one or two minutes from now. You'll hear the vibrating alarm. Voila- you've found your FitBit. Remember to unset your Silent Alarm!

An opening screen would be useful. It took me a little while to figure that it works like a Geiger counter. It gives you a bar that kind of gives distance. I found my Fitbit. It was black, in a black trunk, covered by a bag of charcoal.
