Anti-theft App For Android Devices by OCTAVO: 8:35am On Aug 31, 2013
I had to search for a good anti-theft app for android devices after a Nairalander lost his phone to a soldier. Though I had one installed before but that wasn't good enough. I found a new one on google playstore.
You can download Prey Anti Theft from playstore. The app is free.
NOTE: If you know of any better one than this, pls feel free to post it here. Thanks
