The next step is to allow me to dis-associate devices I no longer own from my Google/Play accounts.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, spent like half an hour looking for my phone yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThere are other apps that do similar things. The real question is whether this one will offer anything better than what the others do.
ReplyDeleteThis really needs to be baked into the OS, as smart theives will just uninstall the app or just wipe the device.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if the device is just lost, you will have approx 1 day (max) to find it before the battery dies. Some apps capture your last known position, so you can at least back track to where you might have dropped it… I hope the app includes this feature!
Please also remember to keep a record of your IMEI number, as carriers can track stolen phones via this embedded serial number.
ONce they bake it into the future os updates then it will be worth it. For now this is great as an app that can find it if you misplace it. For those that get it stolen the app can be uninstalled. That is why I installed avast root version so it is added to partition and cannot be deleted.
ReplyDeleteJust what I need!
ReplyDeleteWhile its nice to have this, Android has had the app Lookout for years for the exact same thing. Ill keep Lookout, but Ill check this out.
ReplyDeleteSo, how long before law enforcement starts wiping phones to slow suspected criminals?
ReplyDeleteNo way. They have a much better time spying on everyone ;D
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I feel much better, thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Apple has had a service like this for a while, its about time that Android has this geature.
