Top 4 Best Android Phone Trackers

Like the saying goes, they say no one is above mistakes and so no matter how careful you think you might be, losing your belongings especially your smartphone is very likely.
No matter how careful you are or how much you pay attention to your phone, there are chances of it getting lost. If you own a expensive and high end smartphone, it's bound to attract attention, even of the wrong kind.
Even though newer Android phones have a remote lock and locate facility available, it might not work as intended, so it's recommended to get a good Android device tracker app. You'll find hundreds of such apps
on the Google Play Store, but only a few of them really work well and are free, so here's a list of the top 4 free Android device tracker apps!

TOP 4 ANDROID TRACKER APPs.

1. ANDROID LOST
Android Lost is one of the most recommended apps in the security category, and for good reason. Once set up, you can control and locate your phone via a web portal or SMS. Features include remote location, data wiping, service start/stop, call list logs, alarms and much much more. Best part is, it's completely free,
so you don't have to worry about paying to get the best features!

2. WHERE's MY DROID
One of the oldest Android device tracker apps on the market, Where's My Droid is still going strong. The free version lets you locate your device, notifies on SIM change and keeps phone tracking active without draining battery. If you want to do stuff like remotely lock the phone or wipe data, you'll have to get the Pro version. One of the best features in the Pro version is the ability to activate the app via landline, great if you can't access another mobile phone.

3. PREY ANTI-THEFT
Not the most well known of apps, Prey Anti-Theft is quickly turning out to be one of my favorite Android tracker apps. Combining a great UI and easy to use functions, it should help you track down your phone in no time. Apart from the usual geolocation features,
Prey Anti-Theft also takes pictures of the person/people your phone is with from both cameras, lets you display a custom message on the screen and plays a loud alarm sound when triggered even if the phone is on silent. The paid version unlocks even more features such as unlimited device tracking, reports and real
time logs.

4. LOOKOUT ANTI-VIRUS
Lookout isn't only a tracker app, it's also an antivirus. So apart from standard location features, it takes pictures of the person using the phone and sends out a "Signal Flare" when the battery is low, plus saves the phones last location. The added ability to backup data is useful. More features like remote lock and erase come with the paid version, as well as additional backup and privacy control.
