The Lookout Security app for Android has just added a pretty awesome feature to its already-potent arsenal of remote tracking, back-up, and wiping functions. The new Signal Flare shoots off one last location update just before your phone's battery dies. This ensures that if you forget tour phone somewhere, the data provided by Lookout will be as recent as possible. The app has also enjoyed a UI overhaul, and a new activity feed to see what kind of threats the app has been protecting against. They've also included some extra protection against those dialer exploits we've been hearing about lately.
Lookout contin ues to offer the usual malware blocking in the free version, but if you want the fancy stuff like remote lock and wipe, and secure browsing through the native Android browser, you'll need to subscribe to the premium version for $30/year.
Which apps do you use for remote back-up, wiping, and security? Has there even been a time when GPS tracking from one of these kinds of apps failed you? Any Lookout subscribers able to vouch for the quality of the service?
