Terrible! Contained a paywall for "verification", shortly after entering my credit card information an unauthorized charge was made against my credit card, resulting in my credit card being locked by my issuer. This may have been nothing more than coincidence, in any case I fail to understand why credit card information should be anywhere near a free system utility; but I leave it up to the reader to decide whether or not to entrust payment info to an app like this.

My Fitbit HR had fallen off my wrist without me knowing until much later. Tried a couple of other apps that didn't work at all! One was so full of ads and was hard to understand! This ap located my fitbit very quickly! It listed the name of all devices within range. When it said Fitbit HR and the bar next to it was all green, I knew I was right on it! My fit it was located within minutes! Thank you!!

I really do not post anything for reviews but I had to for this one. I had been looking for my fitbit everywhere and could not find it. Installed this app and started the search and seen the bar was high, walked in my room it disappeared, came back ro the living room it appeared again. (I swear I was using it like a metal detector 🤣) I found my fitbit in less than 3 mins. This was such a huge help and it worked. Thanks
