Trying to find my Versa 2

[Lantern75]

I lost my FitBit Versa 2 recently. I wound up downloading a Fitbit Finder for my iPad. That has turned into a bad game of "Hot/Cold" for me; I keep following the indicator dots, and they turn blue and green, but I haven't found the FitBit According to the offiial app, it's down to 58% power It also syncs right away, but I don't know if that helps me. Is there a better way to find my Fitbit?

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @Lantern75.

Thanks for the details shared in your post. I appreciate your efforts and I am glad to hear that your device syncs as it means that it's nearby. You can confirm our tips to find your device in What should I do if I lose my Fitbit device? 

If you find your device, I also recommend confirming that your Fitbit app and Fitbit device are up to date. For instructions on how to update the app and Fitbit device, see How do I update the Fitbit app? and How do I update my Fitbit device?

Hope this helps.

It doesn't really help. I use my iPad, as opposed to an iPhone or Android. The FitBit app syncs with the device from most places in my house.The only real help I get from that is finding out how much power my FitBit has (currently, it's at 44%). That's why I downloaded the "FitBit Finder," which I'm guessing is third-party. I tried another app, but it kept bugging me with ads.

Is there a way to use the Bluetooth on my iPad directly, as opposed to the Finder app?

Which is an ETA?

Estimated Time of Arrival -- short hand for time estimated for fix.

I would try the FindMyFitnessband app , it is the highest rated find fitbit app in both app stores. It use to be FindMyFitbit. 

Free to try and if it sees your fitbit. A few dollars to buy for the ability to search. If it fails to find, they refund the purchase. 

I recently lost a Fitbit in a fairly large Big Lots. I knew what side of the building I lost it on, but that only got me within a 600 SqFt area. Opened the find my fitness band and in about 90 seconds it was back in my hands. 

Yes it is a walk around and look at the signal, but seems to get more sensitive the closer you get. It literally got me within a 4 feet of the lost tracker. From here I knew that it was deep within the display box of pillows and if needed I could have set an alarm to go off in a minute.

It’s not finding the FitBit. It keeps asking me to subscribe and showing ads.

@Lantern75 what app is the "it" referring to? 

[Lantern75]

The app from the site you suggested to me.

If the trial version sees the tracker, as I explained above, the user will need to pay for the app. 

The actual search function is disabled in the free version. This is why you are being asked to pay.
