10 year old Sat photos

3/8/24 just started using the app. First thing I noticed is it haves the wrong street name for our “Home”, and no apparent way to edit it. And no, the one it selected is not even remotely the closest. Looking at the satellite view, it shows a sat photo that is over 10 years old! I know this because our neighborhood isn’t even there. There is no explanation of the distinction between “Devices” and “Items”. There is no “Help” or other aid in using the app. It isn’t clear under what circumstances it will update location based on passing iPhones. Does it have to be in “Lost” mode? Is “Last seen” only for the owner, or per any iPhone that passes nearby? How about a track showing movement from one place to another based on updates when detected by other iPhones? So may opportunities! I just discovered that to share the device with a family member using Family Sharing, everyone has to use the SAME APPLE ID!!! Seriously? You want a 10 year old using the same Apple ID as their parents? What a preposterous idea!

I lost my Mac today outside in the intersection

This app let me know where my Mac was. It fell off the top of my car because I forgot I placed it there, I was getting my daughter in the car seat. Didn’t realize until an hour later on the way to my therapist appointment that my laptop was not in the car. I was freaking out , $2,000 laptop gone! It led me to where I took my turn down a street at a stop light, it was laying in the grass. The momentum of the car flew the laptop across the intersection. Only had a chip on the corner of the laptop. I was able to track the location down to the area perimeter. The “ring” to the device was no help in that situation -cause of the loud traffic. But the map helped me find it. I was about to just file a police report. But it was spotted near a sidewalk in the grass near the stoplight. I had a case on it at the time and it was inside a laptop sleeve. It was very hot. When I got home it was able to cool down then when I logged in…The app shut down the device and I had to go thru security question and login in from other apple devices I had tied to my account to get access into the computer. Thank you so much Apple for this! Saved my personal information and me from having to dish out more money for a new laptop. I had no insurance on it ..as it was a pay to own device from a third party seller.

My air pod pro were stolen but due to this app it help with finding out who stole them.

I recommend this app even if you think it’s an app which takes storage or even might not be needed I think someday it will go to use for you not many but I really want to consider how thankful this app change the fact someone stole 3 Air Pods and money from a locker in my school. My air pod pros were connected to this app and it helped save my life it showed me the direction the distance and the address of who stole my air pod pros. The fact that it manage to track the place where it was taken and letting me disable them which allowed my air pod pros to not connect to their Bluetooth and device made a big difference and help for me. The information on this app allowed me to ask people around if they knew this place and I found someone who knew who lived there I won’t go into details but the help of the school and cops I manage to get a name and as suspicions goes on and the details the app gave me the place it showed me and how long ago my air pod pros were connected to this app made me feel relief and knowing that getting these type of information can make things the best case because in the end I got my air pod pros and I manage to help some other people out because theirs were stolen.

Lost AirPods

I misplaced my AirPods a week ago and can’t find them anywhere so I went on the find my app. Last place scene was 3:30 at a park. Later that day I went to the park and the find my wasn’t letting me do the close range thing so I didn’t find them.(btw the icon for them was the AirPod case, at the time). After going to the park I locked the AirPods and told the app to notify me when found/ opened because that would update them and show me where they were. Next day I open the app to see two earbuds as the icon. Someone took my case and left the pods because they knew that the pods were tracked, and not the case. Find my dose t work. Honestly you would have an easier time just buying a new set upfront because You WULL NOT FIND THEM DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING FROM APPLE. I have now shifted my focus to eBay and Facebook market place trying to find a AirPod case posted a few days ago and trying to read the number on the case. WHY CANT THE CASE BE TRACKED. I know that the newest AirPod case is also tracked but why does Apple act like they can’t see where the case is at all times even when not opened for weeks. They think we think not. Desperate times call for desperate measures. And at this point it’s not a case I lost, it’s my manhood, my dignity and only desire. I need this case. It’s personal now. You think I care about the case. NO it’s not about the case, but about my mental health.

“Find My” isn’t finding !

A distinct change in the functioning, i mean non-functioning of my Find My App. I wasn’t sure of the location in my place of my Air Pods Pro. The App was not able to locate them, even as i was holding the case with the pods inside in the same hand as the iPhone 13 i whereon i was using the App. When i opened the case, VIOLA! The App suddenly found them, and would play sound to “locate” them; only to as quickly lose track of them when the case was closed again with the pods inside and suddenly unable to play sound at all! I am quite certain that when i set up my Air Pods on the Find My App, it found them in the closed case. Not this time! I decided to test the App with my keys with an attached Apple Tracker … Again, though holding the keys with Tracker in my hand, same as my iPhone, it was unable to locate them/it. It showed the battery level of the Tracker, strangely enough since it couldn’t locate them. Further, when i ask the App for info on the “found” Tracker which i held under the top of my iPhone, repeatedly, again it was unable to make contact with, find, or play sound!! Really!??! REALLY !!??!!

It was a pretty nice program

Because it was a pretty nice program when I can find my family if they are coming up here because sometimes I can look at the location and I don’t update for them and I don’t update for like five minutes because I have to go back on it or I have to delete I have to go back in to delete it because sometimes it takes it off and it’s saying no location found and I feel like I have to go back in it and I have to share everybody my location I have it it sometimes the thing acts weird because it’s saying no Location frien I feel like I have to go. I have to add them back to the list because I have this for my whole family because they wanna see my location and I feel like I can click on the location and it tells me how How many miles and I feel like I can go back to an I can say is, I think I like this I think this app is a good idea because you can see where you if they are farming or anything

NEEDS TO BE FIXED

I'm not sure if it's iOS 16 that's made this app worse, but it certainly hasn't been this bad the whole time I've been using it. I got a brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max just before the iPhone 14 came out, and I just bought brand new Airpod Pros 2 a month and a half ago. Keep in mind, I bought both of these from AN APPLE STORE, BRAND NEW. My Airpods last location is contstantly wrong, and the connectivity is complete trash. I can be searching for my Airpods (no help from Find My) and when I eventually find them I can put my phone DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THEM, TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE TOUCHING and it will still say unable to connect to play sound OR find near me. The Airpods are not dead, they are fully charged, and I CAN SEE THEIR CURRENT BATTERY LEVEL ON THE BATTERY WIDGET. In my Bluetooth menu in settings, it also says "Not Connected" while I CAN SEE THEIR BATTERY LEVEL ON THE BATTERY WIDGET. I can tap to connect and it will say "Make sure Airpods are on and in range". Apple, fix your software or I will NOT be purchasing any new products. EXTREMELY disappointed in this app, my BRAND NEW PHONE, AND BRAND NEW AIRPODS. I will definitely rethink my next Apple purchase if this doesn't get fixed ASAP. You're better than this.

Reliability is really hit or miss

This app used to be fantastic, I even went and bought eight AirTags. However, nowadays, it seems like more than half the time I get a “this device is unreachable” message when trying to find different devices/AirTags. All the AirTags have new batteries, and can be found by Siri on my Apple Watch. But not the app. When trying to find something, having the device only beep for about 30 seconds is only a little helpful, as in I know it’s somewhere close enough to hear. This is where the app used to shine, being able to get a little arrow and an approximate distance, like a game of getting warmer or colder as you would try to find something. Sadly, a good amount of the time when this app can find my devices there is no longer an arrow, I just wander consistently hitting the “play a sound” button and hope to get close enough. I really hope these issues can be resolved because this is truly one of apple’s best ideas.

I don't care about that!

This app was great for a long time, but after a while, it just didn't work. The main problem is with the time. My devices, that are with me, will always show their current location, info I don't care about, because I already know! And then my family devices, that I do want the location for, will not be current. I got on at 6:45 and it told me where my family devices were at 3:38! I don't care about where they were over 3 hours ago! And most devices don't even show the location! At all! It will either say no location found, which is rare with devices but it says this about everything else every time I get on, or it will say that the location is not sharing, when it is! Even after I set it up and it works, it will later turn to this! Apple needs to pay attention, because they have a lot of work to do with this app! Edit: I just looked at 6:40 pm and it shows me my devices location from 2:05 this morning! No thank you! Make past locations a separate feature apple! Don’t be stupid apple! We all know that you are better than this stupid person you’re pretending to be!

Horrible App ca

I am an Apple user since the first time I got a phone. I love apple and prefer it over any other company. Apple is great and does wonders for me except this Find My app. This app truly is garbage compared to anything Apple has EVER made. With the new technology always coming out and it being extraordinarily brilliant, there is no reason this app should give people (such as myself) so much trouble. This app is supposed to detect lost items. I will tell you one thing it detects and that is my aggravation level with it. I lost my airpods in my own home and tried to use the app. It is extremely off and is very slow. The one thing that aggravated me the most was the fact that the "Play Sound" button never connects for any of my devices. Before I came on here I did everything and went to Apple support online and read the suggestions thinking it was something I was doing wrong. Sure enough I had everything allowed in settings and there was just no true explanation on why it doesn't work. I love Apple and I hope they do something about this app because it would truly do wonders if it did work in the way it is intended to.

FIND MY AMAZING APP

I was nervous about returning my rental car and making my flight. I thought I put my iPad in a smaller back pack so I could access easier on the plane. When I went through security, no iPad. In a panic I called my daughter and she told me to download FIND MY. I did and it showed my iPad at the airport so I thought I packed it in my suitcase and I had checked it. I get home—no iPad. When I opened FIND MY it showed my iPad in a city north of San Diego and the hotel even! I reported this to National who was going to call the person that rented the car. I can tell you the hotel and also this person likes a popular fast food burger chain! FIND MY also showed my other iPad at home 500 miles from San Diego. Believe me, this app is worth it and I was also able to lock my iPad and when I locked it, Apple locked the credit card attached to my Apple account. Believe me, I give this a 5 star plus, plus.

I don’t know why people are rating this negative

I mean, why are people rating this app negative? I rate it the most useful, amazing tech tracking app on earth. I haven’t used it many times, but every time me or one of my family members loses a device, I go to Find my, and thee directions are very direct and clear. I found out about find my one night when my dad lost his phone and we couldn’t find it. Find my, back then, was just a random game that was on my iPad when I bought it from a mall, but now it has finally come to use. And it is very, very useful I’m telling you. So, I don’t know why the rating is only 2.9 right now, i think this deserves a well earned five star. Read this, use this, consider this, download Find my. Trust me, these other reviews don’t make sense. Download find my now and you won’t lose any of your devices or important belongings again.

Missing feature

I love this app and use it all the time. However, there is one feature that would make the app perfect. My main use of the app is usually to see how far away my wife is when she is on her way to meet me or coming home from work. Currently, the app will easily show me directions as if I was going to go meet her. I would love it if I could press only one button and she how long/far away she is from coming to my location. I’m sure many people use the app for the same reason. How long til this person gets to my location? You are preparing dinner or meeting at a movie and you just want to know how long til they arrive without having to text them. I realize I can click a few times to open directions in Maps and then reverse the “to and from” but that’s a lot of steps. I live in NYC and traffic is crazy so it isn’t accurate to assume the travel time is the same from both ways.

AirPods As A Gift

So I bought some AirPods for my daughter as a Christmas gift and also a pair of pros for myself. (I’m hiding hers) I have been using mine and don’t want them to show in find my phone until Christmas comes and I have such a hard time removing them from find my phone. I have to put in my Apple ID so many times and it does nothing. I was able to temporarily connect them after I kept trying but once I disconnected and connected them again they came up as my AirPods Pro’s again, which they are but I don’t want her to open up find my phone and notice them and then ask where hers are. I love them so much and didn’t know I needed these pros in my life that I can’t even wait until Xmas to use mine lol. Please make this feature better. Perhaps even the ability to change the name and icon in find my phone so she thinks it’s another random apple device. Maybe others have come across this issue as well.

Extremely Inaccurate and a Hastle

I’ve used this app before many times due to me loosing my earbuds and other devices on a weekly basis. But every time I’ve used it, the location that it shows is inaccurate every single time. For example, I’ve lost my earbuds like usual and I check the Find My app to see where it was. It showed that it was in the middle of my high school where I was earlier that day. So then the next day, I went to go look for it but I wasn’t able to find it anywhere. A few days go by, and it still says it’s at the high school and I’ve lost all hope finding it. But one day, I come into my parents car, and my earbuds are sitting right in the cup holder of their car. In conclusion, depending on what device you have lost, whether it’s your earbuds, apple watch, computer or anything else, I would strongly recommend not fully depending on this app to keep track of all your lost items. You can use it as a way of remembering when you last had it, but you will need to think ahead of where you had it after leaving that location.

“Won’t update” doesn’t mean “no location found”

I will sometimes use this app to see where my wife is in case I need to see if she’s in a better position to stop and pick something up or to just simple see that she made it to work ok without disturbing her. I have found that the app will locate her and then about 75% of the time it won’t update her location. I will see she’s halfway to work and then doesn’t move for 20+ minutes (which always makes me worried that something happened to her). I will have to either go back to the start screen or force the app closed and open it again (so it can do it again). When I do a search in the Apple support network, all I find are issues related to “no location found” even though I don’t say that (I say doesn’t update location). You would think that when you are one of the largest consumer based companies on the planet, you could afford to actually care about you customers (you know, the people who made you one of the largest consumer based companies on the planet) experience.

2 years ago, pls apple just fix find my

Find my is only finding online things and other people!

Whenever I would use my find my app or my family would use it it would show us the phone or AirPods across the street, ect. And apple still hasn’t fixed so they just made a little tracker and what would you know it is terrible because it can be use just like how I said it it would track things but people use them just to track other people and yet it is still happening today and apple really needs to fix this I mean I would rather use my eyes just to find stuff or a flashlight together to find in places that are darkened. And the tracking usually happens at night when it all begins and people would have cameras to check their car or for protection and what do you know they see people checking cars and “tapping” on the cars and when you inspect the car what do you find a track used for “find my” to use as a stalking device for other people to use! And this is just insane so apple just pleas fix find my and discontinue the apple tracker used for stalkers!

Got my ipad back

I was at the airport going through security. I had to remove my iPad to go through security. I placed it in a bin and the conveyer belt starts moving it along. But, by the time I cleared the body screening, it was gone. I alerted security and they tried to help but didn’t find it right away. So, I went to my phone and found the “Find my” app. I clicked on my iPad and saw it was in Concorse C but that didn’t help much. So, I turned on the sound which plays music rather loud. There was a plane ready to take off but they couldn’t take off until the person with my iPad turned the sound off. He eventually said he must have picked up the iPad by mistake (If you believe that) and security met him at the doorway of the plane. I couldn’t prove it wasn’t a mistake and was just relieved to get my iPad back. Best app ever!!!!!

Air tag saved my luggage!!

Traveling to Greece for a family celebration, I arrived in Athens when my suitcase was “lost “…for 3 days we watched my bag with our Apple tag in the Athens airport. No one could find it there! The 4th day we were flying back to Athens from a northern city to look for my bag. I looked at my Apple tag 3 times…on the 4th time my suitcase had moved from Athens airport to Naxos airport. My sister, who lives in Greece, starting calling the airlines, airport luggage handlers…anyone who could help us. I couldn’t believe it when one person said “we just found your suitcase”… it was on an island…we don’t know any of the facts except…THE THESSALONIKI luggage handlers continued searching…and our Apple air tag was the real hero. We never would have found my luggage without our Apple air tag for sure!! Its performance was amazing!

It doesn’t find my AirPods

I lost my AirPods at school one day and I went back to next day and tracked them. It took me to my English classroom where I looked everywhere and I couldn’t find them. Even when it would say I’m right on top of them they wouldn’t be in sight. It wasn’t until today when I found out you can’t track AirPods while they are dead which is really stupid and unhelpful. They have been lost now for a week and I haven’t had any luck I even took it off lost mode to see if whoever had them would charge them and I could then track them it’s been a day since I did that and it still shows them in the same classroom. If you guys see this could you please help. I’ve had luck finding my phone on this app and it works well for that but it just doesn’t work for AirPods. Can someone please help me I’m desperate I need them.

False alerts

This app at first was really cool and it worked really great when it came to being able to see where my kids were when I was not there or when they were out of state. I recently had an Apple Watch that completely died and the battery stopped working but every day multiple times a day it says it was last seen at my house when it wasn’t even on. I also had an AirTag that got dropped outside and when I walk around in multiple different spots it says the AirTag is not with me but the spots are really far away. It will say that it has been spotted nearby but then it won’t allow me to play sound to find it and then I will send it’s gone. And I will go to a completely different spot and it will do the same thing. I got a third-party Bluetooth tracker and anytime my Find My app tells me my AirTag is nearby I will open up this third-party Bluetooth tracker and it will see every other Bluetooth device around except for the AirTag. I’m really disappointed.

I think they should make a better app and update it

Chat this app isn’t it, I mean it’s good I guess but one time I lost my one of my AirPods in Georgia, (I live in NY btw) and I was using find my and the beeping sound or whatever does not work. I could not find it until I got home and it gave me a notification that my AirPods were found near by. Another story: Literally 2 days ago I lost my AirPod case and yesterday I found it in school in my desk, it was saying it was in my house in the garage then in the dinning room! I really couldn’t find it until I went to school, but it did say “at house 13 hrs ago” I guess I’ll give it that. Another story: 3 days ago I left my AirPod case in my in my pocket and it was saying “at house 3:58 pm” but it was showing that it was still at my house so I was so confused, until I checked my pocket and I could it. It may just be me because I lose my stuff all the time but still when I do I wanna be able to track it properly. 2 stars for effort.

AirPods

When ever I try to find my air pods they never connect like I waited an actual hour waiting for it to connect to the AirPods so I can find them it never did my brother always hides them and Ik it’s in the house it’s just where! It’s getting me mad that it won’t connect and I don’t have bad connection I have rlly good connection and internet where I live I don’t know why it won’t connect I tried connecting 2 times the first time I found them, this is the second time and even in the first time it wouldn’t connect it never connect I find this useless and it’s annoying how it never connects all it says is waiting to connect and sound will play when connected a whole hour and still not connected? This is why I give this 2 stars it never connects to anything at all the only thing it connected to was my laptop but that was a miss-click. Also my brother is at school and I’m at home so he won’t too me even when he gets home he never does tell me unless I take something from him which is what I just did.

Needs to be updated and checked major issues with tracking items

Randomly causing issues tracking AirTags, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Has difficulty properly connecting to various Apple items. Does not update location or device well. Says AirPods are multiple sets and attached to different AppleIDs but I’ve only ever attached my brand new AirPods to my Apple ID. Also I was prompted many times in the Find My App to sign in but already am when trying to “complete” set-up of new devices. I tried many restarts, forgetting+removing devices from Apple ID and turning off sharing location /network and even a factory reset with iCloud backup and those did not work. Only after over a day of troubleshooting did my items reappear. I thought it was just my device/phone but came here to find others are also having trouble with the app. Only fix I found was going to Apple community and turning Share My Location Off then restart iPhone then turn Share My Location back on. Then open Find My.

Find my app had me standing in the middle of the street

I lost my AirPods somewhere near my grandmother‘s house. When I go to track them it takes me to the middle of the street and there are no AirPods to be found. I feel like I lost them on the side of her house by a construction dumpster but the GPS doesn’t take me anywhere near the dumpster, it takes me 50 pieces away from the dumpster in the middle of the street between her walkway in the walkway 20 feet away from hers there were no AirPods the AirPods were in a bright, orange and navy blue case. They were hard to miss outside with the natural elements, anytime I walk closer to the house. Assuming maybe they are in the house or close by the door. The tracking would tell me I was walking away from the AirPods, even though I was standing right on top of them according to the GPS in the middle of the street where there were no to be found I think the app might need to update the AirPods were fully charged, so I hope I find them but the GPS tracker is not helpful

⚠️⚠️IF YOU DONT HAVE THIS APP DO NOT GET IT IT IS HORRIBLE⚠️⚠️

So me and my family where at urban air and we left and my brother asked my mom if he had his phone and she said no and after like 2-3 minutes we all started panicking because we thought we left his phone at urban air. So we called urban air (they where really helpful) and they said they would try to find it and call back when they did, my mom was yelling at my brother saying: “Look you’re not allowed to bring your phone to places anymore” and we get back to urban air and we go look for it and then I look at the app and it says it’s at Spec’s so I tell my mom: “Someone has it.” So I ran outside to specs and my mom called me saying if someone has it there’s nothing we can do. So I turn back to the car and she driving to me at the same time and I get in the car and she said: It’s in the car.” LIKE APPLE YOU NEED TI CHANGE YOUR APP YOU SELFISH MONEY HUNGRY COMPANY LIKE IT SAID IT WAS AT URBAN AIR THEN SPECS AND THE WHOLE TIME IT WAS IN OUR CAR AND WHEN WE LEFT IT STILL SAID IT WAS IN SPECS SO APPLE FIX YOUR APP.

I highly recommend this app for anyone who values the security of their devices.

Find My has been an absolute lifesaver for me. Recently, my AirPods were stolen, and the panic that ensued was overwhelming. Thanks to the precision and reliability of Find My, I was able to track down the exact location of my AirPods with ease. The real-time updates and accurate mapping provided by the app played a crucial role in recovering my stolen belongings. Apparently they were stolen by someone 1hr 40mins away from me. Long story short it was a “misunderstanding” and they were embarrassed that this happened and i got my AirPods back. Find My not only helped me locate my AirPods but also restored my peace of mind. I highly recommend this app for anyone who values the security of their devices. Thanks Apple!!

Useless to find missing AirPods

The app is pretty much useless to find missing AirPods, if you lose the case with Both AirPods inside, you’re out of luck. It will never connect to the signal and the find feature never works. It will also show you the location from days ago when you last flipped it open or will show the location in a place that you haven’t visited in a long time and no way, you left them there. My AirPods were home the entire time and I found them with no help of the app. Then weeks later I lose the left AirPod at home and again the app is useless. It won’t connect to the signal at all even with the case right next to the phone and open. Then when you activate “play sound” for left airpod, it will play the sound of the case or the right one which again doesn’t help. I tried to see if the find feature “works” by asking it to find objects that I see are nearby and again the signal doesn’t connect.

Precise Location is Inaccurate

For a core app that is used by Apple to manage consumers apple’s devices, this app is incredibly inaccurate. For sometime now since iOS 14 up to this current iOS 17, I have noticed that the location for my iPhone and AirPod pro in Find My has been jumping around my neighborhood. While I am in my house with my devices in my hands, the Find My app would show that my iPhone and AirPod locations in my neighbor’s houses. For an app that requires all the Apple devices to be logged on and use to tracked this is very concerning. I was hoping that iOS 17 would fix this after reporting this multiple times to Apple support, but only been told to just wait to see if a new update will fix it. Its been more than a few update now and nothing has changed, I guess Apple just don’t care… Seems like this app has some backdoor flaws that is allowing 3 party entities to exploit it and use it to track people devices like AirTag and AirPod Pro 2 without permission.

AirPod mechanics need to be fixed

Recently lost my AirPod pros gen 1. I knew I probably left them in my moms car and on find my they were at my moms work. No biggie, I’ll grab them after school. Side note, they were fully charged from the morning. I look in the car after school and there nowhere to be found. I tried to use the pinpoint feature to find them, and to play sound, but they were listed as offline and wouldn’t connect. A few days pass by and I still can’t find them. Today is Saturday and I lost them on Tuesday. I finally check one of the few places in the car I haven’t checked, the console, and buried at the bottom are my AirPods(case and both airpods). If find my doesn’t work through a plastic wall, how could it ever help you find your AirPods. The gps feature didn’t even link them to the right part of the house, they were listed on the opposite side of the house to the garage.

Sending my friends bogus notifications

This seems to be the only place to report malfunctioning software to the people that matter. I love this app. Me and my girlfriends keep up with each other all over the world and notify each other when we are in places or with people we want an extra set of ‘eyes’ for a little while. We have used it for years. But every once in a while it goes nuts. We set it up to notify each other whenever we leave and come back home. We all receive the notifications. So how about at 3am my phone sends out a million notifications??? I’m sleep in my bed but it looks like something crazy is happening and I’m sending SOS signals. Not good! I might need to do that someday. I wish I could attach the pics of the back-to-back notifications. I wish there was someone to talk to to tell me how to fix it. I wish it would stop. Please don’t mess this up because we use it.

READ THIS BEFORE GETTING APP

Ok don’t get me wrong I love this app and I love the find my phone feature that warms well but I don’t like the travel feature. I love seeing how where my brother is but why can’t I see how long till he gets here?!? I want to be able to see how far away he is without calling or texting! Please developers fix this feature and make it nice! Also the find where your friends are is Inaccurate like really. I look for my phone without pinging and do you know where it shows where it is? On the street of my house. How frustrating is that? I even have precise location on. Developers please fix this! I’m sure unless the developers fix this that someone else will make a better app for this. This app is useable but it’s really not the best. Thanks for reading my reviews! Please respond to this developers.

Doesn't show device location correctly.

My AirPods have gotten lost in my car twice in the last month. Obviously my problem, but the only reason I buy AirPods is so that I can track their location with this app. Well the first time it showed them "4 hours ago" at school, 50 minutes away. So I drove there in the dark and searched for them in the rain. Turns out they were with my the whole time. Second time they showed two hours away "5 days ago." "Play sound" has never worked regardless of connection, either time or at home. You have to hold the case next to your phone and OPEN and then it takes about 30 seconds for the phone to say "AirPods found." Still no sound. I will not be buying another Apple device and honestly at this point I expect some kind of reparation for their abhorrent service. None of these devices come cheap. But maybe their point is to purposely do this so you buy another.

This app has become nothing but bugs

First, it started telling me that my phone was left behind when I put it in a locker at the gym I always go to - so that was helpful (not) - but I could still understand why it did, though I do wish it was smart enough to know I go there a lot and hadn’t left the building, since it has location access. But then it started telling me I’d left my laptop behind when I shut it down before putting it in my bag and leaving the cafe where I was writing (multiple times, and laptop was consistently in bag). Even more not helpful than the first. Yesterday, it not once but twice told me it detected someone else’s air pods (two different pair apparently) as ‘traveling with me’ and that the owner would be notified of the location. A. I have no AirPods in my possession, don’t own any wireless ear buds - and unless I have another personality that’s yet to make itself known to me and is a thief, I didn’t take anyone else’s B. The idea that apple would share my location with a stranger without my permission - especially considering its info is wrong and it must know how grossly unreliable this app is - is horrifying! Congress should know about this — it cant be a responsible use of personal data Please y’all - get your act together on this app. Not having the service would be far better than what you’re doing now.

Garbage App and airpod device

Had AirPod case in pocket all day without use. Got home, fell out of my pocket case opens and one airpod is next to the case. Use find my for the other airpod. Wont locate but says it’s at home. Find my cant locate. “Was it with me all day or did I leave it at home and it died?” “No no last night I put it in the case.” Turn house upside down. Cant find. “It must be near where it dropped if it was in the case, but if it was then why wont it connect?” Search spot anyways. No luck. Almost 3 hours looking I finally found it in the room where it dropped. The pod had bounced into a super inconspicuous spot very far from where the case and other pod landed. “Why wont it connect?” “ ah i bet it’s stupid and only activates to be found when slowly removed from the case, where as if it is launched out fast enough the pod doesnt ‘turn on’” i placed the pod back in the case, removed it, searched for it, boom instantly connects. Nice apple…

Fix to Find My app not working ( location unavailable )

I was travelling from Hong Kong to China, then when I tried to find my devices using my Find My app it’s unable to find my iPhone and Apple Watch, both devices are on my hands!. I tried so many methods from the internet and none of them were helpful at all, even tried logging out of my iCloud account which deletes all my downloaded music, I have to redownload all of them again… Skip forward a month later, I bought an Apple Watch Ultra and an Airpods Pro 2 ( I’m apple freak ), tested Find My app on those devices, they were able to find my iPhone and my previous Apple Watch… It got me thinking, probably my Find My app on my iPhone was getting confused somehow during the airplane flight from Hong Kong to China, then I deleted the Find My app and reinstalled it, the newly installed Find My app immediatelly asked for permissions like location, wifi/cellular, notification and I ticked them all, the app is finally working! My suggestion is: Please provide a better solution on your apple website so people won’t do anything too drastic just because of one single Find My app not working properly.

This app is great!…unless your device is dead—

I’ve had this app for over 5 years and it’s a great app to have! I’ve lost my AirPods countless times and this app always helps me find them. The thing is..if your device is dead this app will not help you in any way. Once I lost my AirPods and I tried to put off the sound or whatever and it made no sound (of course it didn’t because it was dead—). I just wanted to warn you guys that it also doesn’t tell you that it’s dead..which I find quite odd, especially from apple!! It should at least say ‘ Device is dead ‘ or something like that! Other than that, the app is great to have if you’re one who loses their devices often. Just make sure you keep them full battery so the app is useful!!

Trash app

Anytime I try to find my AirPod pros it says they are in a completely different location than where I find them. And if I were to be north of my house it would put me anywhere but north. Anytime I try to play the sound it doesn’t play it unless I am connected and if it does after hundreds of tries it “Plays the sound” but it is so quite that not even a dog can hear it. 99% of the time it does not connect to the device. Anytime I use the find it feature, it never finds it always says to move to a different location or get a better signal and trying to hide the fact that the app does not work well. The app never works if the product is low battery and powered on. This app is trash, but it has the potential to be better if the creators just fix it after years of it not working. This and many more apps/features of the iPhone was the reason why I was scared of switching to apple products.

Useless

I’m walking around my entire home trying to find these things. turns out it doesn’t even say where they are, it just says there inside your house but not a specific location it is at inside your home. Play sound is useless, fact I don’t think it even loads at all every time I press the play sound option it takes forever to load as if it’s not even trying. Then when I would use the map to try and find them for some reason it would say I’m moving but I would not be moving, and the distance they were away would change every time I would get close over all the only time this “app” would show where my lost device is at is only when you have it in your hand or you can literally see it witch renders it useless, the entire time I was trying to find my pods took so long that they died witch is even more useless never using this excuse of a app ever again.

Horrible

Showed I was browsing around a mall in the middle of the day while I was slammed at work…which is NOT in a mall!!! I’ve read several reviews where this app is ruining relationships between friends & family due to the inaccuracy of its location services while tracking humans. The only explanation Apple gives now that they own “Find My” in response to ALL of these reviews is that the location shown in that/those moments is “approximate” because Wifi is turned off on the device or the building you are in has poor signal. What a JOKE that a multi BILLION $ ground breaking technological conglomerate “can’t” improve this service! I am infuriated at the number of reviews I have read with people having this specific issue. YET - all APPLE BRANDED devices are PRECISELY pinpointed and found within a matter of minutes. Yeah that’s not strategic at all. Screw your personal life just as long as you keep using our products?! What a joke!

Address does not update as fast as the map

Love the new Find My app, especially after we all updated to the latest iOS. The “Live” feature is amazing as I can see my family on the move. However, ever since the new update, when the map updates their locations it still shows the address to their previous location. Even an hour later when the map shows them home the address still shows their work address. This is minor if you know what you are looking at, but if it is a location you are not familiar with, having the address update with the actual location is essential, especially if you are concerned about the whereabouts of a loved one. Please fix this ASAP.

Live View Not working>>RESOLVED

I had the same problems other people were having with Live View. It just stops working out of the blue. After weeks of playing around with it and searching for solutions but never finding any… This is how I finally fixed it. I made sure my friend and I were both sharing location data in Find My. Then I went to Google Maps and started sharing my location indefinitely and my friend did the same. AND WALAH! It fixed the problem and I was immediately able to see the green ring around my friends pic on the Find My app!! Hope this helps others that are searching for answers too. Best of luck!

Worked for Me

I was really tired last night and I took off my watch. Today I couldn’t remember where I was when I did so. After hunting all the places I remembered being last night I learned about this app. I played the sound and heard the watch. Even though I had already searched two times down the sofa cushions, I’d missed finding the watch until it played the sound and lit up. It was tucked in the very back of the sofa down in the corner and I don’t think I could have ever found it there without this app. And, it only has 2% battery left so I found it just in time! I’m happy the ‘find my’ still worked with the battery so low.

Ur goose is disappointed in u

Ur goose knows you were out sucking another goose’s thighs. That’s not why ur goose is disappointed in u the reason is… ur goose met Elon Musk and he kissed ur precious goose’s AirPods ur goose was so carful with their AirPods they were special ur goose always kept their AirPods charged, always😠 one day,u know this one, u took ur goose’s precious AirPods and hid them, like a dog, shame☹️. Ur goose pulled out their iPhone hopeful and sure the Find My app would find their AirPods But your goose was so disappointed because they couldn’t find them on the app. It told him to drive 500 miles to go get their AirPods, and their case was charged to. I hope you disappointed yourself I feel so bad for your goose. Shame on you shame shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame🪿!

Can’t Track AirPods Pro’s

So according to Apple the find my app is supposed to be able to list airpod pros as lost if you can’t find them. This prohibits someone from using your AirPods as their own so that you can still attempt to find them. Well my app doesn’t have that option and according to Apple I need to have them in hand to reset the AirPods so that the additional options show up. Well I can’t do that because I lost them. So after 30 min on the phone I was told there is nothing they can do because I lost them. Also, if you don’t have the AirPods out of the case then you can’t even find them if they are within 3 feet of you. So they could be just lost in my house but because I didn’t have them out of the case within the last 24 hours it could say that the last known location was totally different. Effectively that makes this app mostly useless for AirPods

Doesn’t work well in Phoenix, but…

I specifically mention Phoenix because that’s where my wife and I live. We used this in Chicago and it worked great. We moved to Phoenix 10 years ago and noticed it lags for updates on the cellular network over the past few years. Sometimes, it’s over 10 minutes for an update. It works fine when she’s on Wi-Fi. Recently, my wife flew to Tampa for a few days and it worked great while she was there, and I was still in Phoenix. So, in Tampa and on Wi-Fi, it works fine. I have other Find My contacts who are in Chicago and Chattanooga who update quickly. I think Apple needs to check with AT&T about performance of their network, as this is affecting lots of Find My users - check the Apple forums.

Inconsistent

When it works, it is wonderful. One time I found my AirPods in a place where they would have gone undiscovered for weeks if not months without Find My and the sound being played. Most of the time (and more recently) when I use the feature to play a sound, it just doesn’t work. I’ll eventually find what I’m looking for, but not because a sound is getting played on it. I also get a lot of bugs with the gps. There was another instance where I went hunting around a cemetery (I had been at a funeral) to look for my AirPods when they were safe at home in a pair of pants which I found before going through the laundry. Today I left my phone in a different room and asked for a sound to be played, but all I got was a banner notification to tell me that ‘find my’ had been activated.

Did not help me what so ever

Today i was looking for my airpods and could not find them anywhere. I pulled out my phone and used this app. It kept saying it was outside on the cold, wet fricken grass. I was looking in the dark while stepping in the wet and disgusting grass that was not even my property. I spent 2 hours of my life depending on your app when it did not even help me. Later i found it in my couch. This is not a awesome app if you lose things. I mean i literally just spent 2 hours of MY fricken life using your app when it wasn’t even right. To me this app needs a lot more work. This was not my first time either. One time i needed to find my apple watch, on the counter the whole time, and so i pulled out my phone so i can use this app. The noise worked but it didn’t tell me if i got closer or further from the watch or not. Again 30 more min. of my life wasted. A LOT OF WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE.

L in the chat

I recently just lost my AirPod pros generation two and only the right bud was lost. I was walking with my friend on a sidewalk next to some bushes, Pineneedles, and grass and a field. I had notification phone that my AirPod was the pin on her video. I tried to pinpoint the signal and it said that it was at the corner of the road. I went to it and it was not there. I tried to ping with my sound using the nearby navigation system it’s not work.I was searching for three hours at 3 AM trying to find them and not to find them yet. The next morning I went to the exact same spot and try to find them and they still aren’t there. I grabbed my friends, family, mom earlier and sister, and we all try to find it yet with no luck. I have just been $110 on a replaceable right AirPod just because of my radar for engineering quality, thanks Apple Apple
