Is there a way to change the name of the app Icon like before when it was called "Personal Notes".  I feel the Android Lost is too obvious. You are no longer through Google Play so I imagine this would be possible now? Thanks ! You do a great job.

Hello everyone,

the app suddenly stopped working on my device. Anyone has same prob?

I have been very busy the last couple of weeks, but my immediate plan is:

Step 1
* change the download QR code and link
* implement a version check in the app
* try to make an auto update feature (not sure if this is possible)

That way we kind of have a working version that should behave like on google play store.

Step 2
Next up I think I will add the things that google have forced me to remove like the SMS controls. I mean if your phone is lost or stolen you should still be able to track the location, start wifi or whatever you want.

Step 3 will be to fix up the web page. For instance there will be no need to show the features that does not work on your device, like take photo will not work on modern androids but still works fine on old ones. Boy I miss android 5 :-)

Nothing is working anymore. App was not downloaded through Google Play and even have Android Lost handler installed.

When I send any command to my phone, it is randomly stops responding. 
only if I use it for like on whatsapp, the commands get in and respond
I have set Android lost to be allways on. 
no matter what is the phone battery status. 
The phone is on "best performance".
What can I do?
Thank you

If your phone just asked you to remove my app because it can spy on you, I can understand your suspicion. The reason is that Google has removed the app since it it did not comply with their policy.

All apps should of course comply with the policies, and I have done my best to do so. So I have added "prominent disclosures" telling you that this app may track your position, read your data, when you use the app a notification appears etc.

After the app was removed from the Play Store I filed an appeal. For full transparency I include the mail correspondence here.

Hi All

I do apologize about the late activation. I set up the forum and noted that everyone who was registered could freely write in this forum. However I did miss the user menu where I manually have to activate each new user :-|

I will try to find a setting that auto activates the users.

I will try to answer as many questions as I can. But I am only one guy developing this project for the fun of it, so feel free to help each other if someone ask a question that you can answer.

I intend to publish my conversation regarding my appeal for app removal so you all can see what we developers have to deal with.

Anyway - sorry for my app being removed - I can assure all of you that I am not tracking any of you, and I have done my best to ensure that others does not. Privacy is high on my agenda.
