Worth a Look: iHound

Pros. Works for Apple and Android devices. A low-cost device tracker with numerous other security features that can be controlled from any browser.

Cons. Recently became a paid service. Users who have just Apple devices can use a free tracking program called Find My iPhone instead, which has strong security functions including remote data wiping, and works on multiple devices. For more information, go to apple.com.

Where to get it. iHound can be downloaded from the company’s Web site or the Apple App store. The application is free to download, but costs $3.99 for three months of service, $5.99 for six months, and $10.99 for 12.
