Last Alert Lite - Find My Lost Phone app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: App-Different
First release : 24 Mar 2012
App size: 29.39 Mb
Last Alert will notify you when your (or your childs) iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad runs low on battery.*
Optional features allow you to view the location on a map, or track it down with the new radar view! Get both with a one time $.99 in-app purchase.
There are three main components to Last Alert:
1.) Audible Notifications - Select your favorite alarm sound and choose up to 3 battery alert intervals (20%, 10%, 5% etc.,) When the alert sounds, you or your child will know its time to put it back on the charger. (Children pick up on this idea very well, and weve included several kid-friendly alarms to choose from.)
Optional features:
2.) Email Alerts - in the event of a dying battery, the app will send out an email with last known GPS coordinates. Choose up to 3 email notifications (20%, 10%, 5% etc.,) Open the email on a computer, click the link and see the location of the device on a map.
3.) Radar Tracking - configure the alert messages to be sent to an email address on a second mobile device running Last Alert. You can then use the apps built-in map to get walking directions. Or try the radar view to point you to the last known location. (Go 15ft Northeast, etc.,)
Last Alert compares the distance between the two devices, and tells you where to go to start your search. We also compare elevation information to help you determine if the missing device is on another floor of your house or apartment building. A sonar-style "ping" increases frequency, as you get closer.**
___________________
Yes, there are plenty of battery and GPS apps out there, but nothing that provides all this functionality to help you find your missing device AFTER the battery has died. Kind of like good car insurance...you will really appreciate it when you need it.***

*Last Alert will need to be launched manually. For this app to run in the background, Apple requires GPS to be on constantly, which can produce a noticeable drain on the battery.
**Due to the lack of hardware (magnetometer), the radar feature is not available on iPod Touch.
***The accuracy of both the map and radar features are reliant on the coordinates provided by your device. Average accuracy varies between a 5ft-30ft radius. Weak or obstructed signals, and other environmental limitations may further degrade accuracy.
Regardless, we will attempt to provide you with a starting point to begin the search.
Latest reviews of Last Alert Lite - Find My Lost Phone app for iPhone and iPad
Poor quality apps. Does not work if you are looking to find out your lost IPhone or IPod. The tracking device is a scam. Do not spend more money on this. Do traditional or manual search you may be successful.
It a spam the compass doesnt work on iPod touch 4 gen
This is a terrible app I bought it and it did not work
This app is suppose to let you no when your battery get to a certain level so you would no when to charge it. This app defeats the whole purpose. It has to run in the background which kills your battery and just for the audible alert you still have to turn the GPS on for it to work to get notifications. This is a total ripoff. Buyer beware !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
App works as described. Already has helped twice when my 4 yr old son lost his iPod. Toll on battery stops me from leaving 5 stars, but worth more than the price paid.
