    I refuse to pay $99 for Apple's MobileMe service when all I really want is the "Find My iPhone" feature. Determined to find a cheaper option, I first tried the similar $0.99 app "Find My Device." It didn't work and crashed constantly. Next I tried iHound, and I was totally sold. read more

  • Stop, Thief! A lost or stolen cell phone may not be a lost cause. By Kate Dailey

    Newsweek

    For most people, a lost or stolen cell phone means calling your service provider, shutting down your account and moving on with your life. But losing a cell phone is less about the inability to place a call than it is the sudden absence of your most personal data - photos, e-mails, browser history and music collection. So there's something to be said for recovering, rather than replacing, your handheld device of choice... read more

A great substitution for Find My iPhone

By porshe962c
Version 3.0 - Jul 1, 2010 - I have an iPhone and an iPad and they both have iHound loaded on them. I feel very safe and secure having the App loaded and also as double safety for my iPhone I have the iHound sticker on the back of my phone. Great updates regularly. I'm very satisfied with finding and purchasing this app and their service plan.

Great Alternative to MobileMe

By the 1Silverwolf

Fantastic!!!

By Epidemik9278
Version 3.0 - July 8, 2010 - This service is worth every penny! First, their customer service is absolutely awesome. I was having an issue with reviewing my service on my service on my iPhone 4 and these guys were genuinely concerned and extremely helpful. The service itself is accurate and a huge value over other services (mobile me).... For example. I would recommend iHound to anyone that wants a quality product that does exactly what it supposed to from a company with great customer service! I was able to find it when I would have never been able to on my own. Not only did iHound save me money, but all time and drama of replacing the phone as well. Thank you iHound!

iHound is fantastic!

By bethanyrx
version 3.0 - July 1, 2010 - I'm always setting my phone down places and forgetting where I put it, and this app puts my fears to rest that I'll leave it somewhere and actually lose it. I'm so happy that it's now able to run in the background too!

iHound can finally track my iPhone in the Background!

By SFAPPS
version 3.0 - June 29 2010 - Just updated to the new iOS4 version and I'm really impressed with the update. I no longer have to keep iHound open for the application to track my phone which is awesome! The new website interface is also a lot easier to use and now I feel comfortable knowing my $5000 phone is protected.

iHound is terrific!

By dshore
version 3.0 - July 1, 2010 - I have checked on several different occasions and it has accurately indicated the location on iHound. This newest version is a huge improvement for my 64GB iPod Touch - more important to me than my cell phone though I don't have an iPhone. Maybe after the switch to Verizon.

Top notch app, very professional, great service!!!

By sanequa2
version 3.0 - July 19 2010 - Since this update, iHound is my most relied upon app. Me, my wife and teenage daughter all have iPhone 3GS's, and iHound is a great way for us to know where each other is and our phone too, we like that security. I've used the push notification several times to help locate my iPod Touch around the house. Our phones are able to run iHound in the background in power save tracking mode with next to no impact on the battery. The subscription is straightforward and reasonably priced, and iHound's customer service is excellent. Thanks for a great app and website!!!

Best app ever...

By Ncflores210
version 3.0 - July 1, 2010 - Why would you NOT want this App? It can track your phone to the exact location it's at. I was so impressed with its accuracy. I started telling all the Dr's I work with about it. They all started getting it on their phones. Now that you can run it in the background makes it even better. On top of it, you can't beat the price. Thanks iHound keep up the good work in making it possible to keep track of our investments. Thumbs up.

Great App! Wish I had it earlier

By sethstil
Version 3.0 - Aug 30, 2010 - UPDATE REVIEW - iHound has come a long way since v.1. Now that it runs in the background, and you can set how often it pings - it's MUCH BETTER. Also, Geofencing options are awesome! It's great to be able to use it not only as a location retrieval for that day you misplace (hopefully not), but also as a utility to help you do location check ins with foursquare and other geo-based apps.
