Good to know
PodSpot reads the Bluetooth signal a device sends right now, so a pair that is switched off or out of battery stays out of its reach, and earbuds sealed inside their case usually stay hidden. Play Sound works on earbuds and headphones connected to your iPhone.
Wunderfind is a trademark of its owner, and PodSpot is not affiliated with it. The details here come from the Wunderfind listing on the App Store.
Questions people ask
Is PodSpot an alternative to Wunderfind?
Yes. Both find a lost device by how close it is, and PodSpot adds two things the Wunderfind listing does not describe: a sound played on earbuds connected to your iPhone, and saved spots under Previous Locations. PodSpot is free to download, and scanning needs no Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Does PodSpot work without Wi-Fi or mobile data?
Scanning does. PodSpot reads Bluetooth right on your iPhone, so it needs no Wi-Fi or mobile data to list devices that are switched on and nearby. That makes it useful on a plane or in a gym with no signal. Starting a subscription does need a connection.
