Flexilis Beta Release 5 is Out!

Flexilis Beta Release 5 is now out and ready to rock! We are very fired up about this release – it is much faster and has some huge new feature additions. We are particularly excited about our newest feature in this release–missing device protection! Flexilis can now help you deal with a lost or stolen device by wiping the data, playing a loud noise, and even locating it on a Google map!

One of the most common requests from our beta users has been for performance improvements – and we’ve taken all of your feedback to heart. We have made some major improvements in the mobile client’s performance, including a number of bug fixes and some serious speed increases – this release increases performance by over 300%.

    I’m so excited for this. I just signed up for the beta. I like the idea of never having to worry about losing my phone ever again.

    This is one of the most useful applications on my phone right now… and I’ve got a ton of them! I’m sure that you could market this application to cell phone service providers and make a good dime. It’s very simple to use and gives some really useful info. And the security features? Priceless!

    I love this release, It now runs faster and with very little startup time. with the last releases it would take my tilt about 5 min to boot. now it’s back to under 30 sec. still can be quicker. but this is a major improvment.
