LightBlue® Reviews

by Cjfun1

I had LightBlue installed for less than 12 hours when they began accessing information from my phone and apps, which included my PayPal account. I get an email early this morning saying I changed my password. The only way I knew what it said was to have it translated to the English language since it was sent in Spanish. Once I logged into my account, I see that my page has been converted to Spanish. This is a fraudulent app. They have all my private information and are using it!!!!!

LightBlue let me know my Fitbit was in the area which was a relief but it is very hard to use. I’m still not quite sure how it works but it’s better than the 6 dollar Fitbit Finder I wasted my money on.

I somehow misplaced my fitbit yesterday. I thought I'd have to buy another one after buying cute extra bands for it... I couldn't quite remember what I had done with it. Lost my previous fitbit somewhere in a very large park last year while running my dogs and was chastising myself for having lost my second, yet again. I searched and searched multiple times EVERYWHERE and for a few hours total, to absolutely no avail...

Downloaded LightBlue at roomie's suggestion and OMG-voila. This thing literally led me to my Marie Condo method-temporary mess of a room (cleaning out the closet so piles and piles of clothes everywhere) down to the specific area where the proximity bars were highest and upon searching around there, I actually found my strapless fitbit (had removed the straps to wash and must have dropped the watchface which buried itself into a little pocket within a pile! And I thought I had combed through the clothes. Drove me nuts.

TYTYTY to my roomie for the suggest but most importantly to the developer(s) for creating this extremely useful app!! 💋🙏🏻👌

Although it’s not exact it can definitely help narrow down a general location and once you find the location start slowly scanning for phone over different areas until you get a signal in the 40’s which means you’re right on top of whatever your looking for, in my case my Fitbit which I would’ve never found without LightBlue

A co-worker lost her fitbit and was ready to give up. I used a couple apps that wouldn't work and then as a last resort we used this one. We’re so glad we did! It was in a box of supplies somehow that she had taped back up somehow the band broke and fell in the box. Will be keeping LightBlue forever!

Thanks for adding the ability to explore connected devices!

I especially like the hex keypad to enter data when sending to peripherals. Nordic’s nRF Connect and others just give you the keyboard! It is so annoying to switch back and forth between numbers key and letters for A-F.

Now, if a device you are using becomes disconnected please consider added the ability to reconnect without having to backtrack to scanning and selecting the device. My case is like this. I’m sending data to a device and, thanks to your wonderful app, the recent data I sent is stored within the characteristic that I sent the data on. But when the device disconnects I have to go back to the scan screen, reconnect, and enter the data into LightBlue over again. In my case I know when the device is advertising or connectable.

I lost my Fitbit for work, the kind of fit bit you get to keep your insurance low and because of LightBlue I have found it. It was in the couch but in the back where it slid through the cushions to the back of the couch where it was not visible. Thank you so much. You do have to linger in a spot to let the signal catchup, however LightBlue is wonderful.

I had checked everywhere for my fitbit and just could not find it! I came across LightBlue when searching up how to find my fitbit online and after I downloaded LightBlue I walked around the house and I could narrow it down the places it could be:))
If you lose anything that has bluetooth connection, definitely get LightBlue because it helps a TON!

Husband lost his Fitbit (that I got him with my reward points) and I was determined to find that mother f’ing thing. After calling/texting his phone over and over again (it said it was connected so it had to be in the house!) I googled other ways to find it and came across LightBlue. Hallelujah the heavens opened and we found it! Thank you!

It’s been gone for a month and I have had no luck in finding it, I turn on LightBlue and how it works is it pops up with all these names but you’ll find, for example, charge 3. You follow that signal around till you see the negatives go down. Eventually it’ll lead you to the room or space it’s in. So happy, worked like a charm!!!

I was freaking out because I couldn’t find my fitness tracker. The manufacturer recommended LightBlue and I’m glad I got it! It took a bit to understand the distance related to the signal strength, but once I got close the numbers got down to around -56 I knew I was super close. After moving some clutter I found it under the night stand. Darn cats.

Lost Fitbit One while doing yard work. Noticed it missing later in the evening. It still synced to my iPhone, so I knew it must be nearby. Within five minutes of opening LightBlue I was guided to check outside, where the One had slipped from my pocket. Mind you, this was in darkness, with only the light from the phone's screen and LightBlue 's detection capability. A genuine gem of an app! Tried three, and this one did the job!

I lost a $300 bluetooth peripheral and had no idea where it went. At first I thought LightBlue wasn’t working because it was directing me to the back of my closet which made no sense. Turns out the thing had gotten tangled up in the Velcro on a duffel bag and was, in fact, on the floor in the back of my closet. I would have never found it again without LightBlue. Five stars.

I had a fitbit charge 2 that i had been missing for 5 days because someone else moved it in a house of 8 people and no one remembered doing it. This, while it does help in a strange way, only helping to locate while i tapped on it before it took me to the next screen, it did without a doubt point me to a drawer in the corner of the house where it was. Amazing. This is the future haha.

I just discovered that I misplaced my Fitbit. I am sure it is in the house and looked everywhere but couldn’t find it until I came across LightBlue while searching for solution online. I simply downloaded LightBlue, my Fitbit was listed but out of the Bluetooth range. So I kept walking around the house while trying to connect it. Within 5 mins it indicated the Fitbit was nearby and there it is! Found it in my laundry basket! Thank you!!

I don’t leave reviews for apps but I feel strongly for this one because it actually worked. My fitbit was in our house - I know it because it synced but I couldn’t find it. I found LightBlue when I was looking for ways to find my fitbit. Not only did I not pay for it but it actually helped me find my versa. So once you know what the numbers mean (the lower the number the nearer you are to your device), then you are on your way to finding your lost fitbit.

Had lost my Fitbit Alta. Looked everywhere. Had been lost for 3-4 days. Contacted Fitbit and got some vague help. Did have a link to LightBlue. Downloaded it and immediately it caught trace of my Alta. I’m walking around the Yard, porches, bedrooms etc. can’t find it. I kept getting a reading near the laundry room but couldn’t find it. After realizing the more blue bars, the closer you are to it. Went back to the laundry room, getting a stronger signal. Raised the lid to the washing machine, STRONGER signal, BAM, there it was, washed in a pair of running shorts. Awesome!!!! Thank you so much.

I’ve spent half the day tearing my house apart, thinking I was going crazy...remembering having my Fitbit in my hand this morning...and not being able to find it anywhere after making a cup of coffee. I even began wondering if the neighborhood squirrel, who comes for hand-fed peanuts every morning, had come into the house while my back was turned, and somehow stolen it.
Finally, a link on a help website took me to your App, and less than 10 minutes after downloading, the highlighted bars narrowed down the room and the Fitbit where I had apparently placed it while in the middle of a “senior moment”.
Amazing! And again, THANK YOU!

I lost my fitbit and I found it with this even though the battery was SO low! This is free, no need to pay for the other types. You will see a list of Bluetooth devices it finds when you open it. Find the Alta or whatever you are looking for in the list. On the left there are some bars that will turn blue as you get closer - the more bars, the closer you are. I also used my fitbit app and saw which room it synced quickly with. Then I walked around the room and saw where the signal was strongest by number of blue bars. My fitbit had attached itself to a hanger in my closet - had totally given up on it as the battery was dead but gave it one more shot and found it - good luck!

LightBlue totally works! I never write reviews BUT had to for this one. I’ve been going nuts looking for my Fitbit for days! I had just bought a cute new band for it! I knew it was in my house because it was syncing with LightBlue . Found LightBlue (after almost paying $6 for a different one) and sure enough, my Fitbit along with my iPad and some various devices with no name came up! I started walking around my house and little blue bars started popping up and down next to the Charge 2. Still couldn’t locate it and gave up last night, still going crazy! Got up this morning and started LightBlue up again and the bars came up again. I finally went out and looked in my car again and all of the bars lit up. Warmer, warmer, and bam, SCORE! I found it. Thank you!
