Locationator Phone Finder SMS

Locationator is a 'find my phone' type application which finds a lost or stolen phone in a simple and efficient manner. There are three distinct and important functions for which trigger keywords or phrases are defined at set-up, including for a stolen phone where a picture is taken discreetly on the front camera and sent back to you. Target acquired! The three distinct functions within the application are as follows:

LOST PHONE - locates your phone and sends a message back to the SMS sender containing the exact location of the device which is clickable to show on a map (all within 1 SMS message). This shows:
• The exact clickable location of the device
• Battery level remaining on the device
• The last call made on the device, the call type, the call duration and the date/time made, in the case where your phone is unprotected and used by somebody else

STOLEN PHONE - finds your phone and then discreetly takes a picture using the front camera (even from behind the lockscreen), which is then sent to the email address you choose at set-up. If someone has taken your phone and is trying to access it, this will show their face which can then be shown to the police if necessary. It could also show where the phone is at that point in time. Additionally, it sends a message back containing the exact location of the device which is clickable to show on a map. This shows:
• A picture of the phone on the front camera discreetly
• The exact clickable location of the device
• Battery level remaining on the device
• The last call made on the device, the call type, the call duration and the date/time made

ALARM PHONE - do you know you've left the phone somewhere near you but can't find it and it's on silent, so calling it is useless? Or perhaps you want somebody to be able to wake you up in an emergency when your phone is on silent, providing they know your specific text code? No problem. Simply send your defined trigger message from any other phone and the alarm will go off (even if it's on silent).

How to use:

(1) Simply install the program, open once and set up your trigger keywords for each desired function as well as the email address you would like your picture sent to.

(2) You will be prompted to close the app, which will now always run in the background using almost no processing power so it will not affect your battery even in the slightest. You can check the app if you need to remember your trigger messages. Additionally, the GPS will only be used when the appropriate trigger message is received, just to acquire the exact location. Please leave your GPS function on. It will only be used when required so it will not use extra battery. To activate the GPS and switch on systematically requires root access, so it is easier to just leave it on.

(3) When needed, simply send a message from any phone with any of your trigger messages to use the desired function.

It's as simple as that.

Locationator is simple and easy to use to locate your device in 3 important ways. Unlike other similar applications, it doesn't use web clients or other complications to locate your device. Simply use any phone and send your trigger messages, which is ideal when you are out with friends and have no access to a computer. It also doesn't use a constantly battery-draining GPS tracker, but instead only uses it when you send a trigger message to the device.

Finally, Locationator doesn't have any expensive in-app purchases or subscription services unlike most phone locating apps, but instead just a cheap one-off purchase.

More functionality to be added in the future, including periodically timed updates on the location/picture.
