Doesn’t help find Fitbit – LightBlue® Review

This app is linked in a FitBit.com help article for finding lost FitBit dongles. Set aside for a minute the infuriating fact that something like a finder should be built into FitBit, given the stats they publish on how many calls per month they get for lost trackers. OK. Moving on. I think this app is an interesting piece of work (hence three stars despite not performing what I assume is its core function) but it did not help find my Fitbit Flex2 tracker. I found it myself by nearly stepping on it as I retraced my steps with the app literally in hand. Fortunately, the dongle has fallen out of the band and onto the floor out in the open rather than behind or in something as is usual for me. Clearly this is not the first time I’ve lost or replaced a tracker, nor will it be the last. Unfortunately this app will not be helpful next time as I already uninstalled it and won’t be using it again. I found the app difficult to figure out; I’m not sure I ever did. It never located the Fitbit even after I found it, still with medium battery. In fact it only ever found one device although there were at least two more in the vicinity with Bluetooth enabled.
