Pod Radar: Find Devices

In most ways, this is the nicest of the bt apps I’ve evaluated. Great presentation, good accuracy (though this is mostly dependent on the iOS APIs, not the app per se), clean UI. But it suffers from a really egregious value-killer. It presents the paywall EVERY TIME THE APP RESTARTS. I don’t even have to actually do a Restore, if I wait out the timed close button (ugh, really?) and simply dismiss the view, it correctly detects my pro version. Turns out it’s faster to do the (unnecessary) Restore just to dismiss the paywall immediately. I have deleted, reinstalled, and Restored multiple times hoping there was just some flag-setting race condition that was causing the issue, but it doesn’t help. As nice as the app is otherwise, this is a terrible, annoying, UNACCEPTABLE coding error.

I can actually find my lost items … it’s like playing a game of hot and cold because who for time to turn on the “Find my iPhone” app and actually WAIT for it to turn on …

I didn’t expect the app to work this well! Best Bluetooth finding app I’ve ever tried. Even though my headphones were not on, the app tracked them down and helped me find them. I couldn’t recommend more highly.
