SeekDroid: Find My Phone

It's a good program but does need a bit more accuracy. I did notice that it showed the last place it was, as where it was now, while it was tracking which can confuse you as to where the phone really is.... but overall, it's a good app, great price but which the tracking was a bit more thought out and wasn't misleading while tracking. Also breadcrumbs is a good feature but when you click back more it doesn't show intermittent periods of time and shows all and is a bit confusing...

It's a good program, but needs more accuracy and more features. Don't bother with the paid version, I'm cancelling my subscription. The automatic email if the phone goes outside a "fence" doesn't work, and the "support" is non-existent - I got an auto reply email telling me to look in the FAQ/KB, which I already did. No recent updates, appears this is an orphan app with no support and people just hoping to collect money.

I installed this and set up everything properly and tested its locating abilities. I clicked locate from the website and it said, "tracking initiated" for about 5 minutes and ended with"finished locating" and it failed to locate my phone sitting right next to me. This is a useless program and with all the other difficulties I've read about it, I would never recommend anyone installing it.

When it works, it is awesome. When you have problems, you might as well give up. SeekDroid does not respond to individual emails nor do they provide a phone number. I have a billing issue and I can't get it straightened out no matter how many links to help articles their automated system points me towards. I am being charged for the service but can't use it since it says I am over quota (3 devices on a 5 device plan).

I use this to find my phone, and to track when my son has gone to the park on his own. I can watch his whereabouts with instant or 15 minute breadcrumbs. If you don't like it, you have to go into your security settings under administrators and uncheckmark the admin access for this software. Then it can easily be uninstalled. It mentions this on the install, but people seem to miss it.

WARNING. MAJOR ISSUE WITH ENCRYPTED PHONES. I previously installed SeekDroid on my phone and it worked fine. I subsequently encrypted the phone and then tested to see how the lock and unlock function in SeekDroid worked in combination with the phone's encryption. When I attempted to unlock the phone with SeekDroid, it did not work and the phone no longer recognized my encryption password either. I'm in the process of trying to regain access to the phone with the tech support of my carrier. I have a MotoX phone. Update: I was never able to regain access to the phone and I had to replace it.

Works well for me. Though it sometimes won't update the location for at least week unless manually made to update. For those complaining about the app being hidden; this is by design in case your phone is stolen, the app won't be deleted and you still might find the phone. You can also disable that option. Not a big deal really and for many, it's a desired feature.

3 phones and all of them now say that Seekdroid is not set up yet. Followed their site instructions , even uninstaled and reinstalled. Still no go.

I have had this app for a few years now. I pay to have it on three different devices in my home which is like $4 bucks a month. It's helped me get my phone back when it was stolen and it helps me keep an eye on where my child is. It's supposed to be hard to uninstall because if it gets stolen you want the thieves not to be able to uninstall it. It notifies you if they change the sim card...you can lock it, wipe it, have your phone emit an alarm, display a message, and it is very accurate in telling you where the phone is. It's basically like Lojack for your phone.

Iv deactivated & tryed uninstalling several times. Its the dam app that wont go away. Do I need to factory reset or what? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Dnt dwn load this app!!!

I don't pay for it monthly but man oh man the remote wipe and the locate feature are awesome features to have. Thankfully I've never had to use them when in need but I know what that feeling is like. Highly recommend.

Could not delete app I absolutely hate it and do not recommend this product to anyone if anyone knows how to get this app deactivated please post It

I gave this 5 stars back in the day when I first bought it. From then on it just degraded and tried to suck even more money.

As long as I keep charge in my phone, I know I'll never lose it. I've tracked it down to car hire offices, gaps between cushions on sofas and sometimes when I'm just too lazy to search properly. Practically perfect in every way.

The app works fine after setting up.. But when you install through google play pc.. And it installs.. The remote setup text doesn't work at all

Used to be a fantastic app but appears to be abandoned. No updates since July 2014?? I have used it for 5 or 6 years. No longer works well for me. With that said, it was a great app and would buy it again if it would reappear as a new and improved version under a somewhat new name. (hint, hint) Seek Droid was horribly under rated.

I have never had a problem using SeekDroid. I like the fact that I can locate my wife's phone when she forgets where she left it and it is on vibrate. Awesome app.

wth? i instslled it so i shoykd be able to uninstall it too. horrible app

I love this app. It has helped me find my phone on more than one occasion and I'm very grateful for it. It's easy to use, clear and clean and I like the additional features, in addition to the locator. The greater the detail on the the GPS locator map, the better though. If there's one suggestion I would make it would be to hone the GPS locator so you can get the greatest amount of detail as to the exact location of the phone. But all in all I am very pleased with this app

I can't even uninstall this app and it sucks i hate it like totally

How do you Un install this stupid app?

I tell everybody about you guys. You have never let me done.

Cant delete it. I was trying to help a friend find their phonr but it wont work. And it wont delete at all.

It does not work. Wanted to uninstall, it does not let me. Please let me know how?

It is great if you only want to track on phone, otherwise the is a monthly cost. It has never failed me.

Definitely not free. These slight-of-hand sneaky pay deals really annoy me, enough to rate this one star. Free if you pay monthly! If it's a good app I have no problem paying once, not for the rest of my life.

Have never had any trouble with this. Has been very accurate on all phones I have owned since Froyo (2.2).I work with and modify OS on android phones and tablets as well. For those having trouble uninstalling, you have go into settings -> security -> Device Administrators and uncheck it. Only then can you uninstall it. Also, if you keep it, log in to your account on the web and then tell Seekdoid to hide the app. That way, no one knows you have it unless they look in the Apps list under settings. Keep up the great work Seekdroid!

When I entered a password of 8 characters it replied with a message containing 2 errors. It spelled the word please as plase and said my password must be at least 4 characters when I just entered 8 characters. This makes me wonder how many other bugs the program may have. Sorry for the poor review. To remove this app go to settings>administrators>uncheck seekdroid then you will be able to delete the app.

This app will not let me un install it. It said first deactivate it. I went on app and did that. But still will not un install. I want it gone.

Excellent tool to locate phone with live tracking. Locking and wiping data from the phone and sim card options are a bonus. Free as well! For a small monthly fee you can get all sorts of features that might be handy - 'fencing' on your child's phone for example. It locates much faster than your phone suppliers tool.

All my Android phones has this app installed and i 100% recommend using it , its helped me in the past and i hope i never have to ever use it again BUT trust me it comes highly recommended from me and its one of the best Apps out there ... Regards

Small file size, can hide the app (just access via desktop version), and performs just as advertised for one device. Upgrade to use additional devices on the same account. Couldn't ask for much more.

Can't live with out it. Tried others been a paid member for 2+ years. Was able to track my phone left on a bus. My wife miss placed her phone slip under the car seat. You figure the price to replace a 600.00 phone.

How could I delete this stupid app? I don't even knpw how it works! Also how can I deactivate when the administrator has floder phone?!

It needs an upgrade for the newer android os the alarm dosent function properly when phone is locked and the messege dosent display when phone is locked. It worked on another phone I had so I know its sappose to display message when phone is locked

Those finding trouble uninstalling need only go to the website and RTFM it's not hard. I had to do a total wipe on my phone for other reasons, and the uninstall and reinstall of Seekdroid required worked perfectly, - just follow the instructions. This app works - it's simple it does everything needed, and hard for the crooks to disable, and that's the free version! It's saved my sanity on a few occasions now. Reccomended

Very pleased with this free app. It has helped my wife find her phone on three occasions and it allows both of us to track our passage while on trips. Even worked in the Gulf of Mexico but we were only a few miles off shore.

Awesome app! Left my phone in a public part of the mall. Realized it an hour after the mall had closed. Tracked the phone, found it was in the Mall Security office, so I didn't have to worry about someone having taken it home. Went the next morning to Mall Security and retrieved my phone. Gave me a good night's sleep knowing my phone was locked up and secured even though I had lost it.

It won't let me uninstall off my phone not a fan. I downloaded to help a friend find her phone put in the wrong email address and it won't let us go back to fix the email address so now it's just stuck on my phone can't adjust it, can't take it off ...da fuc?!ヽ(°◇° )ノ

How could I delete this stupid app? I don't even knpw how it works! Also how can I deactivate when the administrator has floder phone?!
