Spent money, but the app is a bit hit or miss. If you sync your fitbit app with the watch and try to ring it it'll work but as soon as the phone has been somewhere else for a while and you try to locate it it's very unlikely it'll ring. I don't understand why it's so unstable on the WiFi and mobile networks. Why does it not just work via Bluetooth directly.
I wanted to love this app. I was so happy to have found it. It rarely works, which is really unfortunate. It doesn't appear to have been updated since 2019, which should have kept me from purchasing and installing. I have a fitbit versa 2 and a samsung galaxy s9+. My phone can be right next to my fitbit and it won't work, but if I try it again it does. It's unreliable at best. I would not recomend this app. I have reached out to the developer - there has been no response.
I want to say thank you so much, this has been by far my most requested feature and you have done what fitbit has not, I followed all direction and have gotten it to successfully find my phone! I can not find a way to shut off the ring tone though, if you could please have it either shut off when turning the screen on or have a prompt to shut it off. My current work around is just pressing the restart phone button as soon as I find it! It's not the most elegant but it does find mylostphone!
It works, I guess. It worked one time right and the other times it has failed completely. I have a Pixel 3a XL and my phone never rings, even when it's in the same room. Then the signal glitches and because I tried to send the ring notification a bunch of times, my phone suddenly now rings randomly. It'll ring approximately 2-3 minutes after I asked it to ring on my Versa, making it useless. It's also really cruel to make it work fine until you pay, then completely stop. Would not recommend.
The App will not Ring the default Ringtone.. instead , it uses the Notifications sound.. which is usually set for at a lower volume, and it send One notification only.. in contrast to the Call Ringtone with a continuous loud ringing. as a result it's hard to locate the missing phone and limit the usefulness of the app. I suggest a fix to this problem in your future updates as there is promising functionality for this App. update: Ringtone with Today update.. Upgraded my review to 5 stars..
Don't waste your money!!! It has not worked once some I paid for the app. I have the newest update of the app on my phone and on my Fitbit. It says my phone will start ringing and it never does anything. Then it loses connection. Then about 10 minutes later my phone starts ringing and you can't shut it off. So unreliable. Wish I could get my $2.99 back. Oh well, lesson learned. I'm uninstalling it now and just moving on.
Update September 17, 2020: Fitbit now includes this functionality by default on the Versa. ---- Waste of money. The watch finds the phone and sends a signal, but my Pixel 4 never responds to it. All permissions are allowed, and I've tried testing with the phone both locked and unlocked, after restarting, and at varying distances.
Does not work! Trial worked but once I paid, it keeps saying searching for phone even though everything is connected and it's right next to it. Developer wont contact me back about a refund (as I paid for a package, none of which seem to work.) Very disappointed as I had high Hope's for this app, and the trial worked. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
I wanted this app to work so bad. It set up fine, it said it found my phone and said it should start ringing, but it never rang. I gave 2 stars over none as the developer replied quickly and we tried to figure out the issue. I contacted my phone carrier and also Fitbit, but to no avail. I own the Versa and my phone is a Samsung 6S. I truly hope this app can get fixed so it can work with my phone.
Works and finds the phone quickly. The latest update makes the phone stop ringing by hitting the left button on the fitbit. I've tested it several times and it works like a charm. Thank you for the update!
It's useless.. it can't find my phone even when it's in the same room. I never once found my phone with this app. I also paid for the app because when I tested the demo, my phone was right next to me and it worked. But after I paid for it, I realized it's pretty much useless. If anything, you become more frustrated.
Warning!!!! Do not buy this app. It's $2.99 and does not work. When it finally found my phone it made my phone ring to the loudest volume possible without anyway to turn the ringer off. I had to restart my phone in the end. Waiting for a better app. Save your money guys!
Downloaded this app on my OnePlus 3 with Android 8.0.0 and on my Fitbit Versa. Had to purchase through the website to test the Find my phone feature. Versa says the phone was found, but the phone doesn't do anything or the companion app crashes on my phone. This was a complete waste of $3. This is why trials need to exist.
I had my difficulties but I figuared it out. When you hit it and it says phone found without ringing. Tap your watch again and it rings no problem. When you find it hit the side button on your watch and it stops ringing. Highly recommend love the app as I lose my phone often! Best $3.00 ever!
I like the concept but this application won't satisfy most of ppl needs. why do I have to turn on bluetooth for my smartphone if the smartwatch application is still gonna send the ring signal through network. I know it finds the phone. but it does not needed to find phone if it is already registered. JUST RING IT directly! god damnit
The new update excited me so much but unfortunately it still doesn't work, it only worked with the first version for a short period of time. Already paid, but it stopped working short after. Plz people, still believe in ya, plz make it work, we need this!🤞 I'll definitely change it to a 5 star once it starts to work.
It's a waste of money big time! I was excited to download the app but I was so disappointed! It works once in a while and most of the time it doesn't! My child always misplaces my phone and was actually late for an appointment once since I relied on this app! I think this is the first review I've ever written but I am so frustrated! If I could I would give it 0 stars as it doesn't qualify for any stars at all! I DON'T recommend this app!
Have added the Id to the fitbit app. Still nothing. It's Been searching for my phone for over 30 minutes now and still nothing. What a waste of money. I thought with it being a paid app it would actually work. I've even added the phones imei number to the app but still nothing. I want a refund!
it doesnt work. bought the app on my fitbit versa for $2 did everything as instructed. its simple to set up. tries it out and it does nothing for my phone. i have a Fitbit versa and a pixel 3. if/when this app works it'd be amazing, cause i need this. until then 1 star
frustrating, once it starts ringing it doesn't stop without going to settings...apps...and then force stopping the app. maybe a second press of the start find button could also turn off/stop the find alert.
I paid for this app and it doesn't work it doesn't do ANYTHING. You owe me a refund send me my refund now!! I'm livid!! IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK WHEN I'M STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO MY PHONE!!! I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and I uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the Fitbit as well. It STILL DOESN'T DO ANYTHING!!! SEND ME MY REFUND!!!
This app worked at 1st; then after awhile it would not work. Now it works occasionally, but it doesn't work reliably. I'd like to have a find my phone app that works all the time.
Works maybe one in ten tries. Usually find my phone silent around the couch while my watch suggests it should be ringing. App frequently crashes too which is probably why it doesn't ring my phone. Garbage all around.
Bought it and it does not even work at all. No rings, no nothing. It is absolutely worthless. My phone is completely up to date. I have the newest version and nothing works. This developer should be banned.
works with versa. need play sound in loop until stopped. please add light and screen blinking if possible. finding device from phone also highly desirable. paid and waiting for updates :-)
Doesn't always work. Usually works only if the phone is in the same room or i already found it smh and i couldn't figure out how to make my phone stop ringing once i did find it. (You close the app on your watch to make it stop btw)
now working! see below... on my watch I request to find my phone, then it tells me the phone was found!? but my phone never rang 😕 then i touch it again it says"need device ID in companion" what is that? the app on my phone has no menu or any options! solution: so there's 3 parts to this app; one on your watch, one on the phone from the app store (only gives you the code after purchasing), and one within the Fitbit app on your phone (this is where you need to find the app and pay the code)
After the update, I am happy. Unfortunately, sometimes when I close the FitBit app the ring sound does not stop so it still needs a little more work.
Works well for me, the only thing I dislike is that once it starts ringing there is no way that I can find to stop the ringing until the ringtone ends. Even pushing volume buttons on the phone doesn't do anything. Great for finding your phone but needs a way to stop the ringing once it starts...worried I'll accidentally hit it at some point and have my phone start ringing loudly at an inappropriate time.
