Favorite Lookout Feature: Find My Phone

What do you use your phone for?

“I am always on the go and I am completely reliant on my phone for everything: GPS, calendar, contacts…you name it!”

How Maria found Lookout

“I was browsing apps and saw Lookout.  It was such a great find!”

What Maria Loves About Lookout

Maria is a big fan of Lookout’s Locate and Scream features.  As an attorney and a mother of two, Maria’s time is very valuable.  She used to spend numerous hours frantically searching for her phone when it went missing—now she uses Lookout to map the location and sound the alarm.  With Lookout, “the search for my phone ends before it begins.”

Moral of the Story

“Lookout is wonderful.  I only wish your product existed for keys, remotes and wallets.”

How Lookout Saved the Day

Maria is an attorney who juggles her life between two cities: San Francisco and Albuquerque and travels constantly.  To keep her life organized, she relies on her Samsung Galaxy.  Maria admits, “the travel, my ADD, two kids and too many commitments make it tough.”  One consequence is that she loses things–including her phone–which contains all of her important information (her schedule, contacts, text messages and emails).  Maria explained that, “when it’s gone, it could be anywhere – I’ve left it the fridge, on the car, in the gutter, at the bar, under my mattress.”

Maria learned the hard way what happens when you lose your phone multiple times (for good)…“The phone insurance companies WILL cut you off!”  After losing three phones in one year, the phone insurance companies refused to insure Maria’s next phone.  Not only did she have to pay the price of a replacement phone, she learned that the data on her phone was equally valuable and irreplaceable: “New phones are not equipped with old information nor necessarily backed-up.”

And Maria found that she was wasting precious time every week searching for hours when her phone went missing.  She remembers that the regular searches for her phone would constantly make her tardy or absent for important functions.  In an effort to locate her phone, Maria even resulted to purchasing a landline telephone—solely to use to call her cell phone to find it in her house!

After Maria discovered Lookout, her days of spending stressful hours searching for her phone were over.  Maria told us that Lookout  helps her locate her phone “even when buried in the most creative of places!”  Since downloading the app, Maria has located her phone with Lookout dozens of times.  Maria’s only complaint: “I wish Lookout existed for keys, remotes and wallets!”
