_______________________________________________________________

With all of the photos, contacts, apps and music on your iPhone, losing it would be a massive pain. Unfortunately, that pain is felt by thousands of smartphone users every day. Ask themthey wish they'd had GadgetTrak installed.

When your device is missing, log into your account using any web browser and enable tracking immediately. GadgetTrak will spring to life and generate location reports, including map points, longitude & latitude and IP address to help you pinpoint your lost device. It can even snap photos of the thief!

For extra security, enable the "Deleting Apps" restriction in Settings App->General->Restrictions. This will keep the thief from deleting GadgetTrak (and any other apps).

Location Tracking
If your device has GPS capability it will be used by GadgetTrak to get the most accurate location possible. Even without GPS, GadgetTrak can use cell towers and/or advanced Wi-Fi positioning technology to pinpoint the location of your device usually within a few meters.

Push Notifications
GadgetTrak automatically sends a discrete message to your device, enticing the thief to initiate a tracking report.

Customer Reviews

It Works! (4 stars)
This app works just fine. You just need to know about a couple of things...
1) Don't enable the tracking unless your device is lost or stolen. It can be enabled/disabled from any computers web browser. (with internet connection, of course)
2) you can keep from having the app deleted by going to your iPhone/iPad Settings>General>Restrictions. Enable Restrictions. This will require you to add a passcode. Now scroll down to &quo

Don't need to run it unless it's stolen! (5 stars)
The app can be remotely triggered, so there's no need to have the location services active all the time, unless it's stolen. Very efficient and a great way to protect your iPhone against the unthinkable.

So good (5 stars)
God I love this app!!!
