      I don't think Google support the Amazon app of the day programme…

      Have you got it through Amazon?
      FREE at Amazon

      You need the amazon app store installed on your device. You need an amazon account. If you're worried about 1-click purchases, create a fake account, with a fake credit card number (from memory visa numbers add to 40 - so it will pass the checksum).

        I have it installed through amazon appstore and it still charged $5.4 pending. will it be reimbersed later?:$

      thanks to OP and other commenters, I have now installed Amazon App store on my devices and downloaded the Seek app - muchly appreciated

    How does this compare with Cerberus?

    • parker2004au on 09/12/2013 - 14:11
      +4

      I have both installed on my device, I prefer Cerberus for the extra functionality such as Emailing me a photo when someone puts in an incorrect code, or sending me an Email when someone puts in an simcard that's unrecognised and surviving factory resets - though you can install SeekDroid as a system application as well but Cerberus provides the flashable zip already.

      Track is pretty much identical, both get within reasonable distance to my location so I guess it's device specific on how accurate these applications are.

      • WNK on 09/12/2013 - 16:11

        Cerberus:
        This is a free trial for one week, then you can buy a lifetime license for a small price (2.99€ ~ $ 4.50) from within the application.

        Do we have to pay 2.99€ after Cerberus one week free trail?

      are you using a [fake] american address or an australian address? If so, log in via desktop, chance the 1-click address to the other one, and see how you go

      Showing 'Sparkle HD' for me…

      But i was still able to purchase from free using the link above…

      I think you have registered to amazon.com.au

        Mine showed different apps as well… just search for it and it should be free… worked for me

      • shmahoo on 09/12/2013 - 14:11

        Sparkle HD was the "recommended free app", but a simple search for "seek droid" worked to find this app. :)

    At this price, this app is a steal

        When I do 'locate your device' it locates okay but does not tell you the location.
        Guess that costs money also..

        • cumova on 09/12/2013 - 15:20

          turn gps on

        • Roary on 09/12/2013 - 15:31

          So if someone steals my phone and turns off GPS does that mean I can not locate my device?

        • WNK on 09/12/2013 - 15:32

          'Remotely Enable GPS' ??

        • Roary on 09/12/2013 - 15:33

          Yes, but you will have to enable Use wireless networks yourself. This is done by going to Settings, Location & security settings, My Location, and Checking "Use wireless networks".

          ** Note: Google has currently blocked this funcationality in Android 2.3.2+ **

          Please read this article: http://help.seekdroid.com/kb/features/unchecking-use-gps-doe…

        • WNK on 09/12/2013 - 15:47

          Is there an any other FREE app which is capable of locating an Android device without GPS?

        • Roary on 09/12/2013 - 16:06

          I know they can locate your device without GPS. But in answer to your question I am not aware what other free apps can do or not.
          Just saying with the new version of Andriod kinda makes this app (and possibly similar apps) a lot less desirable.

        • hooray on 09/12/2013 - 17:27

          YES, Android device manager can locate my devices when WiFI is turned on but data and GPS turned off. Its great for finding my nexus 7 you just tell it to make your device ring ( even the nexus ) and lo and behold there it is under a cushion on the lounge chair

  • Talonparty on 09/12/2013 - 16:25

    I'm seeing 'sparkle' as the free app. Did I miss out :(

    edit: Ah I see some tips above, will try

  • megadeth on 09/12/2013 - 17:43

    Doesn't AVG antivirus (free version) come with the anti theft feature?

  • Seren on 09/12/2013 - 17:54

    Doesn't AndroidLost do 95% of all this already?

    Try Prey…. www. preyproject.com

    I prefer it to Cerberus which I have a free lifetime license for…

    Is free, and can do your computer as well

    You guys know you can locate your phone for free through your Google account, via Android Device Manager, and make it ring, or lock/wipe it.
    https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager?hl=en&u=0
    Mobile Data and GPS need to be turned on on your device for it to work.

    • Astro551 on 09/12/2013 - 20:31

      yeh it's actually not too bad, took them long enough to get a default system app to do this. although I will admit things like Lookout and Cerebus have a bit more function than it.

  • lostn on 09/12/2013 - 22:29

    Requires gps on. Heats up your phone and drains batteries if you keep it on. I know you can turn it on remotely but if they disable internet connection, I'm not sure any security features will work.

  • gsrt22 on 09/12/2013 - 22:50

    When I click on the link it shows $5 not free?

  • OldBugger on 10/12/2013 - 13:48

    Do I have to allow "Google's location service to collect anonymous location data" for this to work? I've turned wifi and GPS on. Cheers

    Edit: It is required if I want my location obtained from a wifi and mobile networks also. Privacy trade-off I guess

  • machej on 11/12/2013 - 02:45

    …Now the NSA has up to date locations of you. ;)

  • ycon on 02/01/2014 - 12:09

    I can't find it for free, says $4.99 on Amazon.com and through the app…

    • Ughhh on 02/01/2014 - 13:05

      You're too late. These are one day freebies.
