I can't believe that this application is developed by Google. Even a person who have very less knowledge, he know if he got a unknown device he will have to formate it then should use it. Even to clear pattern/security lock he have to do a factory reset. Once this is done what is the benifit of this application. My suggestion is kindly link device MAC address with current number used in device and when ever a new sim card is inserted in device all information should be updated automatically in this application. I know it is possible that MAC address also can be changed but still it will good up to a level.

I can't, in good conscience give this app a good review until they enable remote GPS enabling. I don't want to have my location services constantly running, as it is a huge battery drainer. This should be able to also override a thief's ability to turn off location services.

I want to tell the developers that please change the location detection without using location settings since any phone if want to detect won't always be opening location settings. Just try to replace with getting location by SIM uniqueness like IMEI no. or something else. Because i got stuck in a problem when phone was switched off.

Is the thief that stupid to keep the GPS locator on? He will instantly perform factory settings. This app should allow real owner to turn on gps remotely on his lost phone and take some snaps using front camera secretly. This app should have capacity to lock the stolen phone remotely through EMI since thief can't change it. Real owner will activate his gmail account with phone EMI once. Once the thief goes online, phone asks for master pin or password. Boom

Device manager was a great application. I used it several times to help my brother find his phone. But this new one no longer Rings the other phone no matter what I try. And I had to make sure my phone was updated to get it to even find his phone. And to learn all this I had to First find the other phone. Tell me again why this is an update and an improvement?

An interesting app, to be sure, but some other things would be good to add: Bluetooth device tracking! (See plantronics hub for more info) Better description! (Do I need to sign in to enable this service from my laptop? I don't think so, but the app didn't explain this.)
