Device Locator App Reviews

Very good app! It works perfectly in my 3GS!

Very nice app!!!!!!

One of the best part of the software were removed..... Now, near my house, it is always with GPS saving data (my battery goes faster), while that going and walking from job to other places it do not save anything.....

The APP will send the actual iphone position just when it changes cell towers. That is bad. It will not show you where the thief really is unless you had clicked "Emergency" before the tower changed. I suggest the developers to insert a third option, and that would be "ON DEMAND". So we could click a "On demand" button and get the actual position on that right moment independent of the next tower change.

The Application Works very well but, Why can i disable the reporting Feature without being asked for a password? When the developers fix this issue, Ill assign 5 Stars!

It does not react at my iPhone 3GS. I got an account and so on, but the only thing is to see the message "Login successful" ob my iPhone. Every other setting change at the app shuts off the app immediatly. Am I the no-brainer? Dont think so, spent a lot of time to read help, reinstall, etc. Not recommandable.

The App runs perfect and support mails are answered immediately. I would buy it again.

Theft protection and reliable position finding....stays a wishful thinking with this app! FIRST: the app needs either wifi or 3G coverage to be able to send a position (this is quite logic)...so how on earth can it be of any help if you are either abroad or the thief is just clever enough to switch of the phones wifi or 3G? SECOND: if you want to trace e.g. your child / friend / love etc. abroad...as long as the one is not coincidentally logged in to a wifi hotspot somewhere or has (the rather expensive) data roaming activated, it will be IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE OR TRACE the respective device!!!

I like that, unlike the native Latitude app, this works in intervals (I use 10 minutes) between which the GPS receiver appears to be powered off. Hence, Device Locator saves battery lifetime. I would love, though, if it automatically upgraded to the aggressive "cell tower switch" method when the phone is connected to a charger and if "cell tower switch" could be turned on and off directly on the phone. (Review lowered to 1*, because DL2 is available now.)

its working well with latitude after 2 hours of operation. ill comment on longer term reliability and effects on battery life in a few days. update 1: at hourly intervals, there is no noticeable effect on battery life. updates occur more frequently than hourly, probably due to handoffs. everything is still working after 24h.

I have been looking for an app just like this. It seamlessly tracks me throughout the day so I dont have to. With Google Latitude integration I can find out exactly where I was on any day at any time in the past. Absolutely perfect!

This program kills my 3G & wifi Internet access The only way to get it back is to remove it from my iPhone. Please let me know how to get a refund, Thanks in advance Morry

Pretty neat app.. Can track where your phone is, if you lose it you can set the alarm from the computer and it will make noise, or send a message from the computer. I like the battery stats as well.

I had some doubts but it really does what it says. I have set mine to 2hrs+tower change updates and have not seen any noticeable battery life issues. Alarm and push notifications work. Would be nice if site had a "locate now" option. Google latitude works. Not sure the emergency 1 min update works as it should but will test and update.

Jai eu le temps de profiter de cette app quelques jours avant de migrer vers iOS 4.1. Excellent résultats et consommation de batterie très respectable. Très bonne intégration de Google latitude, simple. Mais depuis 4.1, absolument terrible. Positions non-reportées ou erronées. Impression de drainage de batterie en mode cell tower switch... :( Le développeur répond rapidement aux couriels. Vivement un correctif! Aurait mis 5 étoiles sans ces bugs sous 4.1 -- Had chance to try this app for few days before installing iOS 4.1. Excellent results with good battery management. Excellent and easy Google latitude intégration. But since 4.1...absolutly terrible. Bad or missing location updates, battery drain using cell tower switch mode... Developer reply fast to emails Hope for a patch soon!!! Would have rate 5 stars if it wasnt of those bugs under 4.1

Works exactly the way I want it to. Perfectly solves the problem of there being no official Google Latitude client for iPhone. Well worth it.

Developer says its for iPhone 3GS or 4. I tried it indoors on my iPhone 3g with iOS 4.0. It worked. It used tower signals, not gps satellites, so i did not need to be outdoors. However, since iPhone 3g does not have multi-tasking, so it works only when my phone is awake and the app is running. Later generations of the iPhone should not have this problem. Not knocking off any stars. Potential usage: track a child (no guarantee it will work), track your car or your spouses car : )

Amazing app. Did everything it was supposed to on my iPhone 4

Much cheaper than others. Might save your phone! You can send messages to phone that override whatever is going on with it. Rocks!
