Lookout Security & Antivirus for Android - Free download and software reviews. Pros. Easy to download. Cons. Tried it for the first time. My cell phone was stolen at the mall and 3. I realized the phone was missing. When I tried to locate the phone or make it scream, neither feature worked!!! I would've been even more furious with this service if I were paying for it.
After today (November 2. I will no longer be using Lookout. I don't understand how they can lie about all these features and services they provide and expect people to pay for them and the one time I needed the services to locate my phone, it couldn't find it nor would it scream. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!! Reply to this review.

If the phone is turned off then there's nothing anyone can do except maybe ping the GPS in the phone - which if possible on the particular phone would probably only be available through some premium paid service.

I too am disappointed in Lookout. I had to get a new phone, I backed up my contacts. I went to download them like they said I could and I had NONE, nothing in backup it said. But Justin at Lookout claimed he saw over 2. Funny I tried three times, in three days, today I tried and there were only the 3. I had manually put in myself. When I tried to uninstall their program it wouldn't let me!!

When I wrote and told them I want it OFF my phone, they said my phone had been shut off! I'm contacting the BBB tomorrow. Pros. I have Lookout Premium which i pay 1. The next day my phone was returned!! Will definitely be continuing my subscription!!!! Cons. No complaints. Reply to this review.
Was this review helpful?(0) (1) Pros. I tend to try many add- on apps, then delete what I don't like and need later, and I have not suffered any obvious effect of virus or spyware, so it's Antivirus feature must have done its job. I receive an email alert every time my cellphone battery dropped so low that I can't turn it on without recharging first. This could be helpful if I lost my phone and hasn't notice the loss yet.
Then again, I don't often have my laptop with me when I don't have my cellphone. In fact I only notice this when I check my email on my laptop. Cons. Shortly after I installed the app, about 9 months ago, I enabled GPS and gave apps the ability to locate my cellphone using wifi and cell- tower location. The app places me within half a mile away. SInce that would normally tell me where I've been, it helps. But if dropped my cellphone after a busy day in a park, that's quite a lot of space to search. Normally, I have GPS and location services to conserve battery.
I tried the location service again from a library about 4. I had to move my phone closer to the window and retry for the location service to find me. This time it located me about 1/2 mile from my home, or 4. I really was! Summary. My idea of a reliable backup is one I can pre- schedule and performed automatically without a change in my daily routine. Since my cellphone battery is barely sufficient for a day and a half of normal use, I can't see letting a schedule burn up my cell minutes and battery charge.
Instead, I choose to use Dropbox to synchronize important files in encrypted format with my laptop which get backed up weekly. So, I don't know how well Lookout's backup function works. Currently, I don't have a lot of confidence that I can locate my phone (should I drop it) before someone finds it and decides to keep it. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros. User- friendly! Easy to manage!
Since crap- ware apps r now dropping from the sky & competition for high- end phs has brought the thieves onboard, the chances of getting our cells stolen or a mobile- virus has greatly improved from a yr ago . So, I've decided to cash- out for some serious mobile anti- virus protection w/ top notch tracking features!
Lookout may or may not be our family's choice. Cons. Lookout's tracking feature pointed to the wrong address, last yr when I tested this software! Matter of fact, it was 2 blks off . Summary. So many reviews since I first reviewed this security app last year .
Did it IMPROVE?? B/c it was waaay off the grid in Nov 2. Any logical adult (or responsible parent), that has done their home- work know the accuracy of the tracking feature in any security soft- ware isour main concern . Mainly b/c chances of consumers catching malicious malware on a cell exist BUT dang near close to nil . I thought I would lose my contacts but look out had my contacts, my photos and videos all in my account. I went to when Id opened the FREE account to get my login info. Went on there on a whim and everything was there. All I had to do was click a button .
Even my songs were restored to the phone. I almost cried and Im serious.

Great lost device features for locking, alarm, and location. Cons. Only backs up Google synched contacts. This is a company that is capturing your information, including all your keystrokes, without your consent and with no way of stopping it, but the Outlook Software not only didn't detect it, but when notified of it, claimed it was not malware, because Carrier IQ had relations with the phone manufacturers and carriers.
Makes you wonder whose side Outlook is on. Reply to this review.

I REALLY need to know if this is true- -I trusted Cnet in downloading this. Reply by cduss. 22. February 6, 2. 01. Are you reviewing Microsoft's Outlook? East download. Easy to understand.
Easy to use. Cons. It gave me the wrong location for lost or stolen mobile ! Uses Google Maps to locate a lost or stolen mobile phone and it did get me 9 blks closer to my phone then T- Mobile's Security software, my mobile ph carrier, but it was still 3 blks off. And unlike T- Mobile it didnt provide an address along w/ the location- area immediately (even tho location was wrong). Summary. It's alright but I prefer something that locates our mobile phones outside of our homes accurately such as an i. Phone 4. S app. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(1) (0) Please Wait.
