Seek Droid App for Android

App Name: Seek Droid App
Platform: Android
Description: Are you someone that loses your phone often? Well this is the Android Application for you. This little bugger will help you locate your phone in no time. Just imagine the peace in mind that you will have knowing that you will be able to track down your phone anytime you lose it. For you this just might be your saving grace and a Android App that you must have. Don't worry about losing your phone again. This time you will be prepared to find it when every you lose it.

SeekDroid definitely fares better in covering the basic mandatory features, and it’s regularly only $0.99.  I’m a little put off by grammar mistakes and the like on the website, howevertoo dense to appreciate the clever Orwellian joke on the home page:

On the other hand, the web interface is quite visually appealing, and the little secret agent Droid is most cute!

However, it doesn’t offer real time tracking – just the current location when you request it via the web interface “Locate” button.  Also, despite GPS being enabled on my phone it wasn’t able to resolve my location down to less than a kilometer radius.  However, the final nail in the coffin is that it only offers the web interface – you can’t text the app to control it.  So if you don’t have web access, you’re out of luck …and as I mentioned earlier when your phone has just been stolen or lost, fast response time is critical!
