Great - within 10 feet – Finder For Fitbit - Find Fast! Review

This app found the exact location of my Fitbit One, in a vacuum in the janitor closet of a large gym, but only after I used LightBlue Explorer and the Fitbit app to get within 10 feet. This app didn't detect my Fitbit (which had a full charge) until I was within 10 feet. If you're covering a large space, like the gym, be patient. Be prepared to spend an hour or 2. Here's what worked for me: 1. Do NOT "Forget my Fitbit" from the Fitbit app. This app found it while my Fitbit was still registered with my Fitbit app. If you're searching in a public place, like the gym where there will be other Fitbits, you'll need to know whether it's *your* Fitbit you've detected or someone else's. And, unless you know the BlueTooth UUID, the only way to tell is if your Fitbit syncs with your Fitbit app. 2. With your Fitbit app on, walk slowly checking to see if your Fitbit sync'ed with your Fitbit app. If it did, then it must be nearby. If you are able to "Sync Now", your Fitbit is connected to the app and therefore must be nearby. The Fitbit app detected and sync'ed with my Fitbit from over 100 feet through several walls. 3. Again, walking slowly and stopping frequently, use a BlueTooth detector like the free LightBlue Explorer to get close to your Fitbit. The closer you are, the stronger the signal. LightBlue Explorer got me to within 10 feet, and detected the signal from over 100 feet through several walls. 4. Once the signal is strong (between 0 and -65 dBm), use this app to home in on your Fitbit. Again, you'll need to move slowly and stop frequently. Tip: once you find your Fitbit, examine its UUID in LightBlue explorer, take a screen shot of it, and keep it on your phone. The next time you lose your Fitbit, you'll be able to positively identify your Fitbit by checking the UUID of the device you found in LightBlue Explorer.
