Celebrating 1 Million Lookout Users

It’s amazing to think that not long ago we had around 10,000 dedicated users testing Lookout and today I am proud to announce that Lookout is now over 1 million users strong and growing faster every day. This is a truly exciting time to be a mobile user. Devices are more powerful than ever, innovation of mobile applications is rapidly evolving, and we are on the dawn of 4G network proliferation – the dream of the internet everywhere is truly becoming a reality.

While this is an important milestone, we a’re even more excited to see how our users are protected by Lookout. Everyday we are blocking mobile malware, restoring lost data and finding lost and stolen phones.  In fact, just over the past 6 months, Lookout has:

• Found more than 130,000 lost or stolen phones
• Backed-up over 87 million photos
• Backed-up over 300 million contacts
• Saved users over 85,000 hours by restoring millions of contacts and photos to new or replacement phones

We’’re proud to have reached this achievement and we very much owe our success to to our users. It is you, our users, who have downloaded our application and provided us with ongoing feedback to improve our product and service.  Please keep all of the great feedback coming. We look forward to continuing to build the best products imaginable to keep you safe while using your mobile phone.

It is amazing to think how quickly the next million Lookout users will come and how excited we are preparing for the next hundred million. To all our amazing users: Thank you. We fight for you.
