My Fitbit’s dead
It found my tv and blue tooth speaker no problem, works great. However because it uses Bluetooth to find devices it won’t work on my dead Fitbit. Learn from my mistakes, download this before your batter runs out.

Description
LightBlue® can connect you to all of your devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as Bluetooth Smart, or Bluetooth Light).
LightBlue® has two modes, central and peripheral. In central mode, you can scan for and connect to all BLE devices around you. Once connected, you have a detailed view of all the device's profiles, from which you can read and write to characteristics and subscribe to notifications.
To enter BLE peripheral mode, navigate to the "Virtual Devices" tab and tap on the "+" icon to create a virtual device. When the blue checkmark is checked for a device, your iOS device is advertising as that particular BLE peripheral. LightBlue® allows you to customize the services and characteristics of any virtual peripheral profile. You can also clone any peripheral you connect to in central mode and save that profile to your list of virtual peripherals—simply connect to a device and tap on the "Clone" button on the top right of the screen.
Full support of read, write, and notify is included. You can view the signal strength (RSSI) to get an idea of how close you are to the peripheral.
The log tab allows you to keep track of all significant BLE events that occur while using the app (e.g., device discovery, connection, reading, writing), and you can share the content of the log.
Use LightBlue® to test your new BLE Heart Rate Monitor, temperature sensor, Microchip AVR-BLE and PIC-BLE development boards, TI CC2540 Keyfob, Nordic uBlue, Panasonic PAN1720, etc. LightBlue® is also ideal for developers wanting to test the firmware of their own BLE peripherals.

Saved my Fitbit!
I searched the house for over an hour before I downloaded this app. I still looked for another half hour in the house with the app before I realized that I was only get 1-2 bars because the Fitbit was NOT in the house! Found it outside in my recycling bin within seconds. Awesome app!

Miracle App!!!!
I’d misplaced my Fitbit and searched it for hours and hours. Within using this app for 5 minutes, I located it in the garbage recipient I swore I hadn’t been near! Concentrate on the signal bars and not the numbers. When I saw 3-4 bars, I knew that I was close. Thank you, magical developers and Fitbit for suggesting it as a location device. You rock on this Canadian Thanksgiving!!!!

Does exactly what is says it will
I've lost my FitBit twice and the Light Blue found it both times. Most recently after it had spent the night at the beach getting tossed around in shore surf. It could have been anywhere along a half mile stretch and Light Blue helped me precisely pinpoint the area so I could spot it. Love this app!

Found my fitbit flex
I noticed that my fitbit flex wasn’t on my wrist. Strange. I never took it off. I was able to sync it to the app, but I couldn’t find it. Having to small kids, I worried that it could be anywhere. I downloaded the app and within a few minutes had located it - in the basement under my heavy camera case. Yes, I would have eventually found it, but this made it so much easier and faster. (We had spent a good 15 minutes the night before looking on all level of the house.) I highly recommend if you need to find your fitbit.

Best app ever for Fitbit!
It does work and I thank the developper for such a great app!
I was able to locate my lost Fitbit Charge by seeing the graph bars.

Found my Fitbit
My Fitbit was missing for about 2 weeks and I was beginning to accept that I needed to buy a new one. I downloaded LightBlue Bluetooth Punch Through as a last resort and within an hour I found it! This app is easy to use and the bar graph is clear and easy to read. It is also accurate.
