Find My Pencil & Devices for Negative User Reviews
✓ ScamHow do I return this app, it’s a scam nothing shows up was hoping this would actually work, 8$ is now lost as well as my Apple Pencil..Version: 2.1
✓ Apple Pencil SeekersThis is not working for apple pencils xx.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Find My DeviceDifficult to use. Only discovered one Bluetooth device. The downloaded the free BLE Scanner app. It immediately displayed all my Bluetooth devices and within 10 mins I had found my tiny FitBit Flex 2 which I thought was in the house, but had actually fallen under the passenger seat of my car. So I would recommend the free BLE Scanner but will be asking for my money back for Find My Device app..Version: 1.3
✓ RefundI tried to use this app for my apple watch, but ended up not finding it. The watch is off because it ran out of battery. So I couldn't find it using this app..Version: 1.0
✓ This app does not workBought this app to find my Apple Pencil. It does exactly what other free apps do, and ended up unsuccessful in finding the Apple Pencil. Tried to get in touch with the developer/customer service through the app but there is no option, just a text note for instructions - very unhelpful. Waste of money. Don’t buy this app..Version: 2.4.3
✓ Don’t pay worst appLiterally wasted my time the app doesn’t even recognise the item talk less of telling you whether it’s hot or cold or warm; also i think the other good reviews are fake as this is a shockingly bad app.Version: 1.5
✓ Waste of time and moneyIt simply doesn't work. I found my headset using a free app. This app won't pick up even if the device is next to your phone (yes, I follow the instruction and "forgot" the device from the iPhone)..Version: 1.0
✓ Only gives a vague directionIt only tells you cold, warmer, or hot. It doesn’t help you narrow down the distance any more than that. Not worth the money..Version: 1.6.1
✓ WASTE OF MONEY — RIPPED OFF FOR $5.99!I followed ALL the directions regarding shutting off and forgetting my Apple Pencil's Bluetooth connection to my iPad, then went through the list of four "unidentified" devices ( no listing for an "Apple Pencil" ) that came up after your app completed its scan. I carried first my iPhone and then my iPad throughout my apartment, selecting each "device" listing in the app and coming up with no more than a 35% reading for any of them. After examin my search to locations I didn't recall talking to, I found my pencil VISUALLY on my Living Room Coffee Table. I then took it back to my bedroom and checked it's charge by plugging it into my lightening port — 85%! I then removed it again by enabling FORGET THIS DEVICE from Bluetooth on my iPad and relaunched the app — first on my iPhone and then my iPad. I then placed my Pencil in three locations throughout my apartment and proceeded to select each unidentified ( no listing for "Apple Pencil" ) app device and carried one and then my other my i-device towards it...NO detection WHATSOEVER—with either my iPhone or iPad BEING 3" AWAY from my Pencil! What a piece of junk ripoff — I want a refund!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ HorribleWorst app ever I tried finding my lost Apple pen it just said calculating the entire time I ended up finding it by my self in the end.Version: 2.4.1
✓ This is a scamThis app is a scam for money, it literally does not work at all. Yes, it will pick up some nearby signals, but if you’re looking for an Apple Pencil or similar small device, you can kiss them goodbye because this app won’t be able to find the. Downloaded this app and walked throughout my apartment for my apple pencil and no signal was detected. Luckily I found it in my laundry before I washed it. I held the pencil near my device after finding it (which was at 60% battery, enough juice for the app to find it if it actually worked), and even when holding the pencil near my device, it still couldn’t detect a signal. Hope this helps someone save their money before wasting it on this useless app.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Terrible appThe app couldn't find my lost Fitbit even though I was in the same room. Had to look the old fashioned way to find it. Waste of £6 - such a rip off, don't buy this app.Version: 1.3
✓ RubbishDoesn’t work waste of time.Version: 1.7
✓ Did not workThis did not find my device (fitness tracker) even though I followed the instructions for a lost fitness tracker. I eventually found it myself using the fitness app in 'add new device' mode and re-added the device to my phone..Version: 1.3
✓ WorstWaste of money. Did not even locate the ipad that was in front of me. So no, it didnt locate my apple pencil..Version: 2.4.3
✓ Doesn’t workScans and either finds my Mac or nothing. Useless..Version: 2.1
✓ Didn’t work...It didn’t work and just said “Warmer” wherever we went. In the end, I paid my son to find my Apple Watch, which was more effective!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Absolutely naffAfter spending nearly a £5 on this app I ended up literally 10mm from the device/devices and it still didn’t recognise it. May aswell had been using a metal detector to find it as it was no use at all. If you like throwing £5 notes in the air and watching them float away then this is the app for you. I’d love a refund on this and you can keep the app for all its worth 👎👎.Version: 1.7
✓ A waste of moneyIn the end my mum found my device under the sofa but this app said, well it didn’t even come in the list of seen devices, that it wasn’t even in the same room that I was standing in!!!.Version: 1.8
✓ UselessI tried to use this app to find my lost Apple Pencil and it could just never detect any signal and really made me believe that I’ve lost it. But today I found that my Apple Pencil was right there inside the gap of my bed, less than half a meter away from the place I started to search with this App, and still has 83% of battery charge. This app just waste my time, and nearly made my buy another one. Don’t trust this app anyway..Version: 2.4.1
✓ UselessI’m going to invent an app that finds my lost 6$. It will be easy to pinpoint the lost cash at this companies headquarters. Don’t waste your time with this app..Version: 1.6
✓ Reviews helpIt wasn’t the app itself that helped me find my apple pencil, it was the reviews that gave me places to look.Version: 2.6
✓ GarbageScam.Version: 1.0
✓ Do not purchase!Doesn't work at all!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Waste of moneyCouldnt find my Apple gen 2 pencil, even when found 2 days later the pencil didnt show on the app with the pencil on top of of the iphone! Useless app!.Version: 2.4.3
✓ Does not workApp did not find Bluetooth earpiece that was turned on and sitting 4 feet away. Don’t waste your money..Version: 1.5
✓ DisappointedDidn’t find my phone whatsoever and didn’t give me the option to ‘hide’ another device ( tv).Version: 1.7
✓ Not user friendlyWhile this app kinda works, it not not easy to understand how close you are from the device . I paid for that one and ended up using a free one to find my device. The other one was showing the signal strength in DB. Was more accurate that way..Version: 2.4.3
✓ Doesnt find ipencils.I bought this specifically to find my iPencil. It can locate everything else, just not the reason I bought it!.Version: 2.1
✓ ScamI misplaced my Apple Pencil and true to use this app to determine if it was at least nearby. It did not detect it, nor did I detect the Bluetooth headphones and other various devices that were turned on (but not connected). Do not buy..Version: 2.3.1
✓ UselessMy iPad was right by my Apple Pencil and this app could not find it..Version: 1.6.1
✓ HorribleI hate thins app so much. I bought it with my own money to find my Apple Pencil that was lost. It didn’t come up with the Bluetooth connection and I know that my Apple Pencil is on because it is connected to my iPad. What a waste of money. Before buying because you’ve lost your Apple Pencil read the reviews. Absolutely terrible. Seriously I spent money to look for the Apple Pencil that I was going to use, and now I can’t find it I want a refund, this is the worst app I have ever come across. I don’t care how bad you feel but it is terrible. Don’t ever buy this app people.Version: 2.4.3
✓ I Can’t find my headphones, STILLThis app has done made me mad. I was searching for a Bluetooth finder and came upon this app. I tried it and I still can’t find my Beats solo wireless. I was on wifi, my beats battery was low, the last place I know I had it was in an automobile, it’s not around, I got on the app to see if it was going to pull them up, but it didn’t, and now I’m going to have to buy some more. I know I should’ve took more responsibility of them, but if y’all gone make an app that helps you find your device, make sure it actually work😉. I also tried to see if it would work on my partner’s Bluetooth headphones (which were also low, and were next to me). Did her’s pop up? Yes. Sike, they didn’t pop up. This app is trash.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Followed instructions to disconnect now its goneIPad was still seeing my Apple Pencil with 22% battery. I followed your explicit instructions that the device must be disconnected or the range finder would not work. Now it does not show up at all and I have no idea where it is. Thanks for nothing. Total waste of money..Version: 2.1
✓ RubbishBought this app as I couldn’t find my AirPods at home. Followed it step by step with no luck, then came across them by accident, even though I had them in my hands the app couldn’t see them until I opened the case then they appeared. Waste of money..Version: 2.1
✓ Works - with a bit of faffing aroundOk took a while to pick device up, have to "forget" as a Bluetooth and disconnect then it needs to "connect" once cold warm warmer hot etc found my $100 lumo run sensor in clothes box - worked in the end - slightly over priced but saves me $100 for new sensor.Version: 1.0
✓ No Appel pencilThis is a app for blue tooth device and Apple Pencil is one but that is not an option.Version: 2.4.3
✓ UselessCouldn’t even see the device after I found it with my own eyes and it was sitting next to my phone.Version: 1.8
✓ Absolutely pointlessBought it to find my apple pencil yet can’t even navigate the £6 app. Stupid and waste of money. very annoyed.Version: 2.4.3
✓ RubbishSpent 5 pound on this and it did not help me find my tablet! Very frustrating 😡.Version: 1.3
✓ Unknown, cold, not seen, but watch found (sorta)I bought this product because I'm constantly misplacing my Apple watch. The Finder sorta found it when it was under a pillow on the couch. But the scattered results flickering between cold-warmer-hot were not helpful. But other devices were very problematic. It never found the iPad sitting right out in the open next to the bed, even when I was standing right over it. It found three devices labeled N00QV, N00XZ, N00B0. But no matter where I went in the apartment those devices never got detected. Even though the Device Finder said they were last seen at a certain time. The most baffling thing was the Finder saw two televisions in my apartment. One was a Samsung, the other was unknown. They were listed. But I never could find them as anything but cold. The only TV in my house is a Sony. And if it has Bluetooth, the Finder never listed it. (It's a large 50-inch screen so I would have expected it to be seen.) Finally I should have read the description more carefully. It doesn't find any computer with Bluetooth. I guess they don't have the right kind of low emission signal. All in all, the device may work for me for the watch. But not as well as what others report..Version: 1.3
✓ It does not work for Apple PencilDon’t waste your money if your trying too find your Apple Pencil.Version: 2.2
✓ Don’t waste your moneyI was searching for my Fitbit and all it could find was my Apple Watch! Complete waste of money.Version: 1.5
✓ Not EffectiveMy iPad says my lost iPhone is in my house but this app did nothing to help me find it..Version: 1.3
✓ DisappointedI can’t find my jaybird wireless headphones and purchased this app hoping to save money and not buy a new pair. This app doesn’t work if the Bluetooth device is off. Not sure what the point is. There are lots of other free apps that do this.Version: 1.7
✓ Refund pleaseI have deleted the app- it did not work- when I was next to my iPad and Apple watch it did not recognise it. I am not happy paying £5 for this- please get in touch to send a refund..Version: 2.4.3
✓ Not effective enoughDoesn’t help in finding Apple Pencil.Version: 2.4.3
✓ Waste of moneyLost my Apple Pencil. Paid for the one week to find the pencil. Never register the pencil. I found it by fluke and even when I put it beside the pencil it still didn’t recognise it. I followed all the instructions. Yes my pencil was charged and awake. Argh!! I hate wasting money. Too much to pay anyway..Version: 2.6.1
✓ WastedThis app is an utter complete waste of money and time, I tried using it to fine my Apple Watch but it simply would not help with locating it what so ever. (“Cold”, “Warmer”, “Hot” seriously!!!!!?)After using this app for god knows how long I ended up learning how to use the “Find iPhone” app that comes FREE with practically every Apple device which can be used to find lost devices WAY more easily. That app can be used to locate and device linked to your Apple account by merely make said lost device to emit an “Ping” sound for easy locating. I will be asking for a refund and deletion of this app from my purchases immediately. Actually this app deserves zero stars so thank you for making me waste my time and life..Version: 1.7
✓ Waste of MONEYThis device picks up signal but hardly any, most of the devices aren’t relevant or have random names. It DOES NOT work for my Apple Pencil which is why I paid $10 for this app. It takes forever to calculate hot and cold. I my as well have put the money towards finding a new Apple Pencil. I also know that the Apple Pencil is 100% charged because it stays on my iPad all the time. Overall DOESN'T pick up Apple Pencil and FIND MY IPHONE is a MUCH better app and it’s free..Version: 2.4.3
✓ Rubbish appDo not buy this app. It did not locate my pencil AT ALL. A waste of money. I would like a refund. Absolutely rubbish. I found the pencil myself..Version: 2.4.3
✓ Waste of money - works if in rage of BluetoothWhat a waste of time and money. Yes this works if it's in the range for Bluetooth to pick up the signal. Otherwise it won't. So only works if you know for sure you've missplaced it at home or office which in that case, you just make the watch to a sound so you know where it is. And this means there's zero no chance to find it if out of range or stolen. Apple would provide a solution for free if that was possible.Version: 1.3
✓ Apple PencilIve been searching all day for my Apple Pencil. This app did not seem to pick it up. Walking around the house like a wally I thought of trying a drawer that I was on top of. It was in there but apparently I was cold. It only picked up one other device also so I’m not impressed.Version: 2.4.3
✓ Waste of moneyDoesn’t measure proximity accurately and flips between hot and warm without moving or moving a few inches. Couldn’t find a single Apple earbud missing even when I isolated the other. Ripoff.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Apple Pencil Looking in all the wrong placesI misplaced my Apple Pencil about 36 hours ago. I knew it had to be in my house but I decided to purchase the app to help. First the device never did show up on “seen devices” but there were some numbers that I was not familiar with so I tried those. Well they showed up as Hot in my bedroom so I tore it apart but what was Hot was Not but It needed to be sorted out anyway but I spent a lot of time. Maybe they were neighbor’s devices. Then I tried this magnet detector going around the house like a Geiger counter, and no luck although it may be useful in a confined space like a drawer Then I did find it where I didn’t expect on a living room table under some papers at 90% battery life! All of a sudden it appears on the “seen devices! I feel that it not only did not help me locate it but sent me on a wild goose chase. I guess I will wait until Apple comes up with something on their Find Me app! Is there any way to get a refund?.Version: 2.4.1
✓ No good.WHY CANT I JUST FIND MY PEN AND DRAW PEACFULL??????????????????? I WANT TO. It takes us to a places, and every thing..Version: 2.6.1
✓ False AdvertisingThe description claims that it works for Apple Pencil, and that they will give you a full refund if you can’t find your device. I walked the entire perimeter of my home and went through every room. I even walked out to my car in case I carried it out not thinking about it. I used the Apple Pencil for a little while last night before I went to bed, not long after fully charging it. When I tried to use this app every other Bluetooth device in range popped up but my pencil didn’t. When I tried to get a refund from the company they told be I had to message apple, even though the description advertises a money back guarantee..Version: 2.4.3
✓ TerribleI downloaded this app because I couldn’t locate my forerunner 235, but I knew it was in the house. It kept saying “cold” in my parents room and then anytime I walked ANYWHERE in the house my device was unable to locate. I even walked around outside in my backyard and it stayed “cold” but if I came inside and went to my room or walked around it wasn’t able to locate it. Ended up finding it in my room under my bed!! And just for fun I started up the app to see if it would say “warmer” or “hot” but nope it still showed as unable to locate. It’s really strange because my orange theory heart monitor was tracking the entire time I was looking for my forerunner and the app stated “hot” for my heart monitor (because I was wearing it) it just didn’t work for the Garmin :(.Version: 2.1
✓ Good app, a lot of adsThe app is good, easy to use and has detailed instructions for how to find your devices. Unfortunately, there are a LOT of ads. In my short time of using it, I had an ad opening the app, one at the bottom and one when closing the app. Absolutely insanity. Additionally, why the hell would you sell a subscription for an app like this!? Yes, sure, there is a lifetime option, but you are charging even more than a feature loaded app like Procreate. Note: In the free version you only seem to have generic ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ for how close you are to the items. You need to buy a subscription / lifetime license in order to get more fine tuned tracking..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Not badOver priced unless you loose Bluetooth devices regularity. Could be a bit more sensitive in the “hot” range and or give you a direction you should be looking..Version: 1.5
✓ ReviewIt only works if your device is online, I lost my headphones and it couldn’t find them because they were turned off. Don’t waste 8$ on this app..Version: 1.8
