Lookout - Mobile Data Security App Reviews

I wanted a tool to alert me when my phone and watch are separated. Lookout comes with "Baggage ware". And the distance feature gives lots of false positives. I deleted the app after one hour.

This app is the real deal, it doesnt take much to get started :) I have been using to keep track of my phone, works like a charm. it even warns me when my phone dies and where it was before it died. 5 stars!!!

I love this app! With its simple to use menu, and abilities to supply the consumer with the best security for phones out there that I have seen so far. I highly recommend getting the Premium version of this app as it not only improves the defenses of your private objects in your phone it can alert you before/while a mystery act is occurring. Which is awesome because that gives you time to fight back and block things off as quickly as possible. Also one extra thing to add. THEY HAVE SPECIALISTS THERE THAT CAN STOP A HACKER IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS DIRTT DEEDS SO GET THIS APP!

Great app very accurate and gives peace of mind

Too many false positives and Apple Watch and iPhone connection displays out of range when right next to each other.

I deleted this app due to the inability to turn off the annoying Apple Watch notifications. Even though I set the notifications to the minimum level I would still get alerts that my iPhone was almost out of range even though it was in my pocket.

Completely useless. By useless I mean it doesnt work. It only had one job

So far this app has been great. Love the Signal Flare option which sends you an email when your phones battery gets critically low with its last known location. Recommend!

Downloaded this app after seeing it on TV. It doesnt seem to drain my battery and scanned for viruses. However, Im not confident it will help me locate my phone if its lost. My phone battery died and the app activated signal flare; however, the location it showed for my phone was a block from my house. That wouldnt be helpful at all if my phone was lost. Looking forward to seeing if this gets corrected in a future update.

I would like to use the app on my phone but am I able to even sign up to activate the app. I go all the way through the tour and put my info in to sign up, a window opens and tells me that my user name and password do not match.

Got it for free with my t mobile plan. Works so far. Alerts you when your battery is low so that you may find it later on if lost. Try it out.

With repeated testing, it worked 1 out of a dozen or so tries.

When my phone battery died, I received a notice as to where it was...

I really like this idea, Im actually surprised Apple did not build it into the watch. The problem is that the phone can be in my hand or on the table in front of me within arms length or in my pocket and its constantly notifying me that the watch is out of range. After five days of that, it just wasnt worth it so deleted the app. By the way that was at the lowest setting.

I’m giving this app two stars because it is a good idea and I wish it would work properly. What many people need is a real warning when they leave their iPhone. If we walk away from our iPhone we would like to have a noticeable sound or very distinctive haptic vibration. This app has two major problems: 1) It is not able to determine with any sort of accuracy when I am separated from my phone. E.g., I am in my living room watching TV, with my iPhone in my pocket and Lookout warns me occasionally that I am being separated from my iPhone even though my AppleWatch is still only 1-2 feet from my iPhone. Earlier today I did some testing and walked away from my phone being left in a conference room and I was not warned until I was 50-60 feet away. Why the huge variance? The app cannot tell if my iPhone is two feet away or 50 feet away from my AppleWatch. Fix this problem and you potentially have a nice app. 2) The second problem is that the vibration on my watch will not get my attention. My watch is vibrating every 10-15 minutes with new texts and I am not always checking the screen. To check my screen I need to put on my glasses to read the small print. You should have the AppleWatch make a sound and have a large icon on the AppleWatch screen so we can easily glance at our watch and see it. A few other ideas include the following: Allow us to be able to tell Lookout not warn when the phone is in our home location(s) or at night. These are simple time and geolocation options we should be able to configure to.

Downloaded the app, went through the intro, put in email and password, keep getting notification that password and email dont match, tried several times. Re-downloaded the app, still Cant sign up...
