BEST THING EVER–a life saver
I was at a trampoline place where there were courses you could do filled with foam. My stupid self decided to take it in with me for pictures and videos. I soon realized that i lost my phone in one of the trampoline pits. The people who worked there said I could come in after it closes to try to find it. I was HOPELESS as the foam pits where very deep and many people have lost there phones in those pits..they even cleaned all the pits out the other day. Thanks to this app I was miraculously able to find my phone with a faint sound under all that foam.
The SECOND time it saved my life was when i was at an outlet. I had my phone in my purse the whole time… It wasn’t until closing time at the outlet that I realized my phone was missing! We were able to find out the general location of where my iPhone was at BUT It was already closing time. That next morning we played the sound and we found the phone in a store where a guy was trying to turn the noise off. He hesitantly gave me the phone when I told him it was mine..in fact the lock screen said someone tried to get into my phone! However he did give me my phone back and that’s all that matters.
Highly recommend to all Apple users
A Must-Have App!
My sister tends to lose her phone every once-in-a-while. When we were taking an evening stroll with our friends, we got to our friends house, and about an hour later, she feels her pocket for her phone, and her eyes widen. I have seen this happen many-a-time, so I simply get out my phone and use this app. With our trusty adult chaperone, we set off, retracing our steps, trying to find the missing phone in the pitch black. I was convinced, because we were in a not-so-nice part of town, that it was done for, bye-bye iPhone. But, we used the app, and found that it was right where we were walking. I still panicked, because sometimes this app can say your phone is in one place, then 10 seconds later say it’s 18 miles away. We used the “sound” feature and could hear it from half a block away. We found it unharmed.
A few months later, my mother lost her old iPod on a road trip. I used this app, and it said “locating”… But it just kept saying that. My best guess to why this is is that it was very old, too old to track. This iPod was not touch screen and only played music.
I’ve also heard complaints that this app doesn’t work when the device is turned off, which I think sounds SO frustrating. Please fix this, otherwise, this app is a lifesaver!
