Find My Reviews

I've got a pair of AirPods that have zero issues, however, for some reason the find my AirPod sound finder doesn't work. It'll continuously load despite my AirPods having sufficient charge and being at a nearby range. It isn't a problem with the tracker because it'll give me an estimate of it's whereabouts every once in awhile. This has lead me to believe that FindMy doesn't actually function so I tested out my theory. I charged my AirPods, and I took one of them out of the case and placed it about 2 feet away from me and went on Find My. I clicked on the sound option and it was still loading, my AirPod was fully charged and 2 feet away from me. I literally placed it in my ear, connected it to my phone and went back to my Find My- it was still loading.

FindMy is horrible. The only thing that is accurate about the location is my phone. Whenever I can’t find my airpods, I check the location and it says I left them at the last place I was, even though I know they’re in the car with me because I never take them out of the car. I once drove all the way to Oakland from my house because FindMy was saying I left them there, but then when I got there it said “nearby” and I tried to play the sound and it said it was playing but I didn’t hear anything. I found them later in my car. The same thing is happening right now and I’m trying to play the sound, but again it’s not playing. FindMy is so slow and doesn’t work properly at all.

I have an Apple Watch that was stolen and the location on “find my” just updates to match wherever my phone is. The day after it was stolen, it did show where the actual location was (the thief’s whereabouts: they went to walmart, a health center, an auto shop, and then back to their apartment). I didn’t have time to go into the police station the report it that day. When I went in to report the item stolen the following day, I assume because the watch ran out of battery, it would just duplicate whatever location my phone had in very large time intervals. developers should definitely not have the behavior be like this. If it loses battery, it should just update the last known location, not guess that it would be where the owner’s iphone is…

Over the past week I have been receiving dozens of notifications per day about items detected traveling with me including AirTags and AirPods Pro and even some “unknown items” from the find my app. The problem is these are all my devices. I know it because I haven’t left the house in a few days and yet the number of “items traveling with me” Kees multiplying. I’ve tried unpairing all of my AirTags and my AirPods Pro and resetting them up with my phone which stopped the alerts for a short bit but within hours they started coming back. It’s a shame apple is so closed-eared to user bug reports. Applecare call center would not open a radar ticket and didn’t know how to resolve, and of course there’s no way to send dev feedback through the this app app unlock all other consumer apps made by anyone besides apple………

I lost my right airpod pro. FindMy has been absolutely no help. I had just lost my case about 5 Months ago and had to pay to get another one. I have tried everything in FindMy to find my right airpod pro and no matter what I try I’ve got nothing, not a single hint of the last location where my right airpod pro was. For the first time when I really needed find my, FindMy had not done me any justice what so ever. The only thing I have got on repeat is where my airpod case with one airpod in it is. I have looked everywhere for the last month and tried everything but have got absolutely no help from find my on my right air pod pros last location or where it was before it died and went off line. It keeps telling me “your AirPods are with you and have been found” when both my air pod pros are most definitely not. This is Straight bull.

When it works, it is wonderful. One time I found my AirPods in a place where they would have gone undiscovered for weeks if not months without Find My and the sound being played. Most of the time (and more recently) when I use the feature to play a sound, it just doesn’t work. I’ll eventually find what I’m looking for, but not because a sound is getting played on it. I also get a lot of bugs with the gps. There was another instance where I went hunting around a cemetery (I had been at a funeral) to look for my AirPods when they were safe at home in a pair of pants which I found before going through the laundry. Today I left my phone in a different room and asked for a sound to be played, but all I got was a banner notification to tell me that ‘find my’ had been activated.

Hello Apple, can you add the option to delete FindMy from FindMy Library (same way as how you can delete built-in apps like Notes, Files, Translate, etc) in a future iOS/iPadOS update? I am not going to use FindMy since I use my only Apple device (iPad) purely for education, planning to stop using it after I finish. I am not deciding to use Two-Factor Authentication because I have no need for 2nd-layer security for my device. There should be an option to completely hide the "Find My" App from FindMy Library and access it through Settings instead, especially if it occupies an App Category (folder) which you don't want it to. *Furthermore, I believe many users will be happier if there is the freedom to customize FindMy Library itself (not only the home screen), instead of having your apps arranged randomly. Such as by choosing the 3 apps to appear at the top (3 large apps) of each group, and the 4 smaller apps to be shown in the bottom righ corner. This will allow a user to place, for example, 3 apps they use the most, as the cover of a category so they don't have to open the Folder again, making the times when you want to quickly open an app much more convenient. I hope you will add this feature in the upcoming update (iPadOS 16 or so), thanks for your consideration. ☻

A distinct change in the functioning, i mean non-functioning of my Find My App. I wasn’t sure of the location in my place of my Air Pods Pro. FindMy was not able to locate them, even as i was holding the case with the pods inside in the same hand as the iPhone 13 i whereon i was using FindMy . When i opened the case, VIOLA! FindMy suddenly found them, and would play sound to “locate” them; only to as quickly lose track of them when the case was closed again with the pods inside and suddenly unable to play sound at all! I am quite certain that when i set up my Air Pods on the Find My App, it found them in the closed case. Not this time!

I decided to test FindMy with my keys with an attached Apple Tracker … Again, though holding the keys with Tracker in my hand, same as my iPhone, it was unable to locate them/it. It showed the battery level of the Tracker, strangely enough since it couldn’t locate them. Further, when i ask FindMy for info on the “found” Tracker which i held under the top of my iPhone, repeatedly, again it was unable to make contact with, find, or play sound!!

Really!??! REALLY !!??!!

For all of us technology handicapped parents out there, we need to be able to instantly refresh via a button their location. It’s great that I can see where my kid is but I’m not going to wait 5 to 10 minutes for it to update. Obviously the main reason is if they are being taken against their will I want to be able to see where they are each second. A secondary reason is if I see they are somewhere they are not supposed to be and I tell them to come home or something I want to be able to see that they are actually doing that. It can’t be that difficult to allow us to have a refresh button and not have to wait.

Ok don’t get me wrong I love FindMy and I love the find my phone feature that warms well but I don’t like the travel feature. I love seeing how where my brother is but why can’t I see how long till he gets here?!? I want to be able to see how far away he is without calling or texting! Please developers fix this feature and make it nice! Also the find where your friends are is Inaccurate like really. I look for my phone without pinging and do you know where it shows where it is? On the street of my house. How frustrating is that? I even have precise location on. Developers please fix this! I’m sure unless the developers fix this that someone else will make a better app for this. FindMy is useable but it’s really not the best. Thanks for reading my reviews! Please respond to this developers.

I love the ability to find my missing items. And with the new update, I started receiving notifications for my AirPods. I thought that was cool at first, it’ll notify you if you’ve left them behind, awesome. However, it notifies me ALL THE TIME, they could be sitting next to me and it’ll tell me I left them somewhere else. It even gave me the notification while I had them IN MY EARS listening to music and was trying to tell me I left them at a place I had not visited for about a week.

So, what could be an awesome feature has been made useless by the wildly inaccurate notifications FindMy issues.

Love the new Find My app, especially after we all updated to the latest iOS. The “Live” feature is amazing as I can see my family on the move. However, ever since the new update, when the map updates their locations it still shows the address to their previous location. Even an hour later when the map shows them home the address still shows their work address. This is minor if you know what you are looking at, but if it is a location you are not familiar with, having the address update with the actual location is essential, especially if you are concerned about the whereabouts of a loved one. Please fix this ASAP.

I love FindMy and use it all the time. However, there is one feature that would make FindMy perfect. My main use of FindMy is usually to see how far away my wife is when she is on her way to meet me or coming home from work. Currently, FindMy will easily show me directions as if I was going to go meet her. I would love it if I could press only one button and she how long/far away she is from coming to my location. I’m sure many people use FindMy for the same reason. How long til this person gets to my location? You are preparing dinner or meeting at a movie and you just want to know how long til they arrive without having to text them. I realize I can click a few times to open directions in Maps and then reverse the “to and from” but that’s a lot of steps. I live in NYC and traffic is crazy so it isn’t accurate to assume the travel time is the same from both ways.

My wife works at a college. I have a notification set up to let me know when she leaves work so I can prepare dinner. Sometimes she has to go to other buildings on campus for meetings, and when this happens I get a notification every time she moves saying she has left the college, but if I check her location it says she’s at the college.

This is a bug. How can she leave a location and still be there?

It’s really annoying because I sometimes get a dozen of these notifications a day, and the only way to reduce the number of notifications is to stop notifications after the first one, but I only care about the last one!

I love FindMy back then When find my friends was it’s own company and not part of Apple. Because it is Missing a Core feature I still want and is still lacking. Find my friends/ family to ping the location on where my loved ones is located! Like similar to Life360! I don’t know why Apple shut it Off! I used this o the Old iPhones it’s was amazing and Find my app now is Good only for Finding well phone, iPods, or keys/ wallet! I would rated a Perfect 5 if it has this feature! Plus if you can Post store on we’re your loved ones work or what not! Just because it makes sense. If a family of for has all IPhones they should do this. APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!

Overall, I think FindMy is wonderful and useful. However, one issue I’ve ran into is the ability to change which device’s location to share with friends. With an Apple Watch, it automatically syncs and there’s no changing it. It becomes frustrating because, if I happen to leave my watch home, my location to my friend’s only shows my watch’s location and not my phone’s location. I’m not sure why we wouldn’t have access to the ability to change that, but it is extremely frustrating.

I’m a HUGE fan of how Apple handles location based stuff. And Find My does great! BUT. I would love to see one feature simplified and improved on. Friend location notifications (when they arrive or leave somewhere). Life360 does it much simpler and more easily. Add a “place” to the map (and be able to give it a label like “home”, etc), and then set what notifications you would like to receive from the other person: Notify me when they 1)leave that location 2)arrive there or 3)both. I think it would be a small change to DRASTICALLY improve that functionality.

FindMy let me know where my Mac was. It fell off the top of my car because I forgot I placed it there, I was getting my daughter in the car seat. Didn’t realize until an hour later on the way to my therapist appointment that my laptop was not in the car. I was freaking out , $2,000 laptop gone! It led me to where I took my turn down a street at a stop light, it was laying in the grass. The momentum of the car flew the laptop across the intersection. Only had a chip on the corner of the laptop. I was able to track the location down to the area perimeter. The “ring” to the device was no help in that situation -cause of the loud traffic. But the map helped me find it. I was about to just file a police report. But it was spotted near a sidewalk in the grass near the stoplight. I had a case on it at the time and it was inside a laptop sleeve. It was very hot. When I got home it was able to cool down then when I logged in…FindMy shut down the device and I had to go thru security question and login in from other apple devices I had tied to my account to get access into the computer. Thank you so much Apple for this! Saved my personal information and me from having to dish out more money for a new laptop. I had no insurance on it ..as it was a pay to own device from a third party seller.

I’ve had Find My Friends for many years. It’s helpful to see where family members are so you can make plans and know if they’re on the way home. I love that you can add friends when you’re planning to meet out in public.
Recently a family member was in an accident and left a 10 second voicemail before his phone died. Thank God for Find My Friends and a feature I never noticed before! I was able to find my family member and there was a button that gave me directions to his location! We are so thankful for FindMy!

I recommend FindMy even if you think it’s an app which takes storage or even might not be needed I think someday it will go to use for you not many but I really want to consider how thankful FindMy change the fact someone stole 3 Air Pods and money from a locker in my school. My air pod pros were connected to FindMy and it helped save my life it showed me the direction the distance and the address of who stole my air pod pros. The fact that it manage to track the place where it was taken and letting me disable them which allowed my air pod pros to not connect to their Bluetooth and device made a big difference and help for me. The information on FindMy allowed me to ask people around if they knew this place and I found someone who knew who lived there I won’t go into details but the help of the school and cops I manage to get a name and as suspicions goes on and the details FindMy gave me the place it showed me and how long ago my air pod pros were connected to FindMy made me feel relief and knowing that getting these type of information can make things the best case because in the end I got my air pod pros and I manage to help some other people out because theirs were stolen.

Since updating to iOS 15.1 it has trouble giving me the exact location of my partner sometimes it won’t even give me his location at all he’s still on iOS 14 and I can see location perfectly fine on his phone, though sometimes it fixes itself it takes a long time please fix the issue.

Considering that this is an Apple app I am very disappointed. I was expecting to find FindMy to be similar or even better then Life360. Very disappointing that it does not tell you how many minutes your teen is from home or allow you to tag locations like home, daughters school or work, husbands work, ect. Will be switching back to Life360.

FindMy was great during iOS 15 but in 15.1 I consistently get no location found. If I force closes and re-load FindMy my friends who are not yet updated to 15 show locations but my minor son who is updated to 15 shows no location or the location from several hours ago. If I switch to the devices tab I can see the location of his phone right now. Sometimes that fixes showing his location sometimes it doesn’t. Please fix this issue!

Find My does not show friends ‘Live’ most of the time. Till 12 hours ago one friend, out of the two, was shown Live. No longer today

The second friend does not show Live at all now. Earlier, the second friend was shown Live. It is interesting to watch him move along the drive. No longer now.

Please suggest, how to reset so that I can view both friends live.

The latest update added an annoying bug. If I have the map zoomed out or tilted from true north, the map resets every time a location update occurs for the target person. It previously did not do this. A user interface should not change the view without users request!

I find it frustrating that the location of a device will not change throughout the day. When I want to check the location of a device, it is showing me the location where the device was in the early morning! How can I find a device later in the day when it has obviously moved! This is very frustrating!

Find My is a amazing app! There features that are not accurate but it still amazing. The tracking has the right location but just little bit off. I hope you can fix this also love air tag!

Since Find Friends & iPhone merged into Find My, it’s been really nice. Especially since iOS 15 added live tracking. I just wish you could still adjust which device your location was being shared from on your phone, but haven’t seen that option in a while…

I love FindMy, it’s so cool. All my Apple products are on it and my family share is on it. However, I think apple should upgrade FindMy to add find my friend and also to have the feature to ask someone to share their location.

As much as I love FindMy, apple needs to come up with a great way of security against theft (other than AppleCare). Thieves have a way of disconnecting a stolen iPhone user’s Apple ID from the phone stolen. And also, finding a way for “find my iPhone” to work when phone is turned off.

I know it’s a tough thing to do, but apple is magical.

Every time the map refreshes, it resets the zoom level. Please fix that.

FindMy helped me get my stuff back after my car was broken into. It lead me to the trunk of a car and after calling the police and a search warrant being obtained, they were able to open the trunk were they found my stuff and over 50 other stolen laptops and tablets!

To track me down because is my special app
to found me that hard which I go that person doesn’t have to know by the way so I let the
another person know
