Ratings and reviews

I thought this app came pre-loaded on every android phone but it isn't in some cases. For anyone considering to download this or not, I will make that simple for you. YES! This is one of the most important apps you can get for your phone. It helps find lost or stolen phones. It can lock your phone with a custom password until you find it, display a message to the finder, & if everything fails it can factory reset your phone...all remotely. It also plays a siren so you can locate your device.

When this application is implemented as the default installation on all Android devices, including cars, phones, watches, mini PCs, and phones from all other manufacturers that have an Android OS and so on. Then geolocation will be transmitted much more accurately and possibly directly online. Naturally, this will only happen if Bluetooth is enabled, which will also transmit information without confirmation, as is done in Apple devices. In the meantime, the app lags behind the Apple app.

After adding two tag devices a couple months ago, it won't add another. I get an error saying "something went wrong" when trying to connect. This isn't helpful. I made sure discover nearby devices and all other required settings on my android phone are enabled. The device was in pairing mode. I tried more than one tag as well. A defect must have been introduced in an update or something? I would appreciate any help, Google. :(
