What is the purpose of this?
It gives you the ability to remotely track a lost phone, stolen phone, or phone of a family member.
What does this do?
This application runs on your phone, and contacts our website every configurable number of minutes. If you report the phone as "Stolen", the application starts sending its location to our servers, so you can track it (with Google Maps). We also offer interval-based tracking for family members. When tracked, it is impossible to change application settings. This software also helps for lost phones.
How is this different from the alternative products?
- Runs in the background
- Does NOT ask "Would you like to allow FindMyI to View your location" after setup
- Configurable in all web browsers, and in the application itself
- Stealthy
- Receives minor updates without cydia/app store
- NOT battery intensive. It checks if it's stolen on an interval, and doesn't report its location unless it is being tracked
- Does NOT require a thief to run an application (like private-i)
- Runs when phone it locked, or in "sleep" mode
- Accurate on iPhones and iTouches
- Reports its accuracy, so you KNOW if you're going to the correct place
