Sucks So phone got stolen and because of this apps update we lost the person. It doesn't let us track when they are on the run. We used to love love it because we felt safe knowing the kids couldn't lie to us. As well as misplace phones. One chance to keep us as customers. Put that back on and we stay.

A fix needed! I need to close the app and re-open for it to refresh. All refresh options in-app do not work. The app is fast when it does refresh. The multiple user option is a winner.

What guest? It works just fine for my mobile but no guest can log in - after we fill in the guest details app takes me back on my own login. What is the use of guest account if guest can't log in??

Big help This application is a must have. I often lost my table or phone in my apartment and couldn't find it but after Google released this service it is not a big problem anymore. It can even reset the device and lock it when you lost it somewhere like in the university or office. Many thanks to Google

Completely wrong update ! This update gives problems sign in and it removed the lock function from the app, the only thing it does right now is ring the phone, it even fail to find location two out of three times before the update was flawless. Hope you fix it soon!

Hello??? Why I can‘t see the location!!! Whenever GPS is turned on, it shows the pinpoint location... but when w/o GPS, there‘s no location... how about the 2 problems?? 1. No GPS on that device. 2. GPS is turned off b‘coz it‘s battery eating wireless device!!!

Never works for me! What is the deal with this? It won't locate the tablet I'm typing this review on, or the phone that is turned on sitting right next to me! Always says "Unavailable". I have played with this app for weeks trying to get it to work on my tablets or phone. I've refreshed multiple times, closed and re-opened the app, reinstalled, yet 4 times out of 5 it doesn't work. So frustrating!
No Guest sign-in Supposedly a good app but trouble is, it doesn't allow for guest sign-in. When one tries signing in with a guest account, it takes you right back on to the default account i.e you can use it to track your second lost device. Any fix will do a great good to staying on top of other device tracking apps.
Great, quick, simple to use I've been testing the app on all my android devices and what I can tell you is that u r going to find a very simple and easy to use interface to manage your devices, a very quick system to find your devices by GPS, and a reliable wipe and block features for lost "mode" my addition and future feature request is to enable a way to manually remove devices which are no more using!
It's better than the WEAK "Anti-Theft" app the service provider provides you It may be better than the basic anti-theft tracking type bloatware that your service provider provides but if you want and Anti Theft app that will actually get you your device back, get Cerberus. It has a five day free trial and after that the app cost $4.19 and can be used on up to 5 different devices from Smartphones, Tablets & other Android Devices! U can hide the App & its icon; u can also use it 2 track ur kid(s), elderely family members & do many other things.
Great until you really need it... If you lose your phone under the sofa then this works great. I however have lost my device and it is now potentially being used by someone else. All that Device Manager can tell me is it was last contacted on the day I lost it. No last location or last contact time. Its this kind of information that could help me get it back. Because I don't have it, I have no way of knowing if my phone is just lost or if someone has taken it. Pointless.
How about some USEFUL features? How about features to deter and possibly even find the person who stole ones device? Something like (AndroidLost): * start/stop GPS * read sent and received SMS messages * start alarm with flashing screen * send SMS from web page * message popup * forward calls * phone status: battery, imei, etc. * remote SMS alarm * remote SMS lock and unlock * remote SMS erase SD card * remote SMS wipe phone * remote SMS APN control * start/stop WIFI * hide from launcher * email when SIM card is changed * get call list * take picture with front camera * take picture with rear camera * make your phone speak with text-to-speech * SMS message command * SMS speak command * lock timeout * restore settings on boot * record sound from microphone * start and stop data connection from SMS * start and stop WIFI connection from SMS * content browser prototype
Better, but still lacking key features. Guest sign-in is good, but it should have the option to save an alternative Google account (but not the password) and make it the default sign-in. I still don't see the purpose of having this app default to finding my own phone that is right in my hand! This app needs the ability to store last phone location before the battery dies or someone turns off the GPS. It also needs the ability to take front & rear photos to help ID thief & locate phone.
Very useful to find phone or locate someone. I really like this app. You can find your device by making it ring loud even if the phone is on silent or change the password from a computer, tablet or cell phone. It also has the option to delete everything off the lost/stolen phone but I haven't tried it.
What's New
● Option to set a 'call me back' phone number to recover a lost device
● Bug fixes and performance improvements
