## Description

Bluetooth Finder is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you locate and find your Bluetooth devices by measuring their received signal strength indication (RSSI). The closer you get to the device, the stronger the signal displayed on an easy-to-read graphical signal strength meter in decibels (dBm).

This app lists devices by name and MAC id and updates signal strength every 1 to 10 seconds, making it especially useful for Fitbit users and those searching for lost or misplaced devices. Please note that it does not detect paired headsets and requires Bluetooth to be on and in discovery mode. A Pro version is also available for an ad-free experience and enhanced features like selecting a specific device to track.

## Review summary

Reviews show a mixed experience. The app sometimes helps locate Fitbit devices and other Bluetooth items and its signal meter can narrow down a location, occasionally delivering fast results. However, widespread issues include heavy, disruptive ads; questionable accuracy and reliability; frequent Bluetooth permission/Android access problems; reports of unexpected charges and recurring subscriptions; and inconsistent device support, with several devices not detected or poorly recognized.

### Pros

- Helps locate Fitbit devices and other Bluetooth devices in some cases
- Signal meter helps narrow down the search indoors
- Can deliver quick results (e.g., finding a device in under five minutes)
- Useful for finding misplaced items like earbuds or devices wedged in furniture

### Cons

- Intrusive, aggressive ads interfere with use
- Inaccurate or unreliable performance; signals can be inconsistent or not detect nearby devices
- Bluetooth/Android permissions issues prevent the app from opening or functioning properly
- Hidden or recurring charges and tricky subscription payments
- Inconsistent device support; some devices (e.g., Versa 4, Sense 2) aren’t detected well or at all
