Lookout - Mobile Data Security App Reviews

A great idea, if it worked.

Its really a pretty useless app if you turn off the watch notifications, but when its on, even if the sensitivity slider is set to the 1 position, it pings me all day long, claiming that my phone is out of range, when it is in fact, sitting in my pocket. I emailed support and they said simply that it just doesnt work for some people. I guess Im one of those people. Giving it 2 stars because it works for my wife.

I am having the exact same experience as iocomposer "Its really a pretty useless app if you turn off the watch notifications, but when its on, even if the sensitivity slider is set to the 1 position, it pings me all day long, claiming that my phone is out of range, when it is in fact, sitting in my pocket.

Peace of mind!

Fantastic app! My battery just went low so it took my location down then put my iPad right at my front door. With that and the constant inspection of my apps I feel a lot more secure. Now thats pease of mind. You can bet I always, always keep it running in the background especially after seeing the 60 minutes segment on CBS. I think it was 60 minutes. See Im forgetful,

You gonna like it!

And its FREE! A great ap get yours today. iPhone 6s

Broken rubber

Yeah it works when it shouldnt (pings me when Im on my phone from my wrist, L1) Great idea, just needs to work better. Its like a drunk friend. It may save you in a certain situation. Just dont plan it saving a $500 phone all of the time

Works well

Love the find my phone feature, and it also backs up all your contacts.

The best app to keep your mobile secure

I will rate it 5 star. Thank you Lookout team for you effort and this great app. This is the best app to locate, backup, check for any malicious app. Good job

Sensitivity

iPhone and Apple Watch warn me that devices are out of range, when in reality the watch is on my wrist and the iPhone is in my pocket or nearby. As this happens quite often it become very annoying to me and annoying to those near me to the point that I stop using the app. Hope a future update can fix this problem.

Connection to Apple Watch does not work

Complete waste of time if you want to know when your iPhone is out of reach of your watch. I contacted customer support and they just said iPhone has low Bluetooth range. Not an excuse because obviously the iPhone is connected to the watch for other purposes.

Total fail

I got this app hoping it would help me by sending an alert into my apple warch when I leave my iphone behind. So far the app does not work on the watch, it gives me a message that I need to register on the app on the iphone (which I did as soon as I downloaded the app) I used a link on their website to request support and the email came back as undeliverable. Not worth my time

Great idea but!

Works as advertised but is too sensitive. When I move my hand across my body the alarm buzzes. Line of sight is good for about 15 ft but if anything gets between the watch and phone you get an alert. I have started to ignore the buzz because false alarms are so frequent. There needs to be some way to adjust the sensitivity.

Need a lot of work.

Apple Watch app and phone app says almost out of range (constantly) when its really in my pocket. Try again lookout. Looking for other apps.

Cant Sign Up

It wont let me sign up... Ive sent an email to support but havent heard back from them yet.

Doesnt work

It keeps telling me that my phone is out of range every couple minutes, even when the phone is less than a foot from my Apple Watch. Left my phone in the bathroom, not a peep out of it until I went back in the bathroom to get my phone. Then I got a warning when my phone was back in my hand. Worthless.

*delete*

Sh*tcanned it after one day. Annoyed the crap out of me constantly when my phone was RIGHT IN MY POCKET!!!!!! Good thing it was free. Got what I paid for.

Good job keeping my phone safe!

Lookout took a picture of the person who picked up my phone and I was able to see where I left it from its website! It was so incredibly helpful and easy to use. Id so grateful for it for keeping my phone safe!!!

Great idea but....

I downloaded newest version and it keeps alerting me that my phone is out of reach.when Its in my pocket. Really love the idea but...

Best ever

Thanks team the best app Ive been seen but I wish that support arbic language !!

Signal flare

It works

Doesnt work

I got this app so it would notify me on the Apple Watch when I forget my iPhone. It doesnt work. Constantly is telling me Im too far from phone when the phone is in my pocket!

Works too well

The watch app notifies me 20 times a day Im leaving my phone behind, and its always in my pocket or on my desk. The only reason I havent deleted it is because I love the concept and Im hoping for an update. But my patience has its limits. Update: Maybe Ill try again some day but for now, this app has been deleted. Even with the sensitivity turned all the way down, its buzzing me constantly even when both devices are on me.
