  • I see nothing worth paying 29 bucks a year for. The free version does remote whipe and Google syncs what I need synced. Their problem is that they baked too much goodness into the free version. They should charge one or two dollars for (one time) for basic version.
  • Are you sure? I thought that "remote wipe" was NOT baked into the Free Version, only AntiVirus, BackUp, & Find Me & squeel.
  • I love you software. I have installed it on all of my phones and suggested its use to all my friends with Android phones. Thanks!
  • I will have to try it before I pass judgement. I would like to support them if I need what they offer. Lookout is a great app IMO.
  • Thata what i have... and im loving it...!
  • I use the free version but I'm not looking for a subscription. Who needs another monthly bill
  • Nice I like the free let's see what the paid will do
  • @ richdroidx If you don't see the button now, check back again tomorrow. You should see the new updated version within two days. If you want to try it asap, you can get it from our website. Thanks! Alicia from the Lookout team.
  • I've been using this app since I had my EVO. One of the first five apps I installed. I actually like paying for apps(i know, go figure), but after the 30 day trial expires, if I don't want the paid version, can you continue to use the free version?
  • Am I missing something I don't see anything to upgrade to Lookout Premium I even removed it and installed it again still nothing about upgrading to Lookout Premium
  • I love the free service, but I am thinking that $30/yr for the premium is just a bit much.
  • Cool security app for privacy document
  • I use the free version of lookout and think it's great. I used the missing device feature and was able to locate my phone. I would like the premium version but I can't afford the extra bill...
  • Do I really have a need for this app? I have the free version installed on my Incredible and was thinking of uninstalling. Now they have a premium version. Your feedback is appreciated.
  • I think Lookout is the best mobile security app out there. I would love to get a free year of service. I think smartphone viruses are a growing threat....
