Thief Alert : Burglar Alarm App Reviews

It wont work if the device is locked and when the alarm goes off just press the "home" button and the alarm will go off or just wait 5 seconds for the alarm to shut off.

Great little app.. Lets you know right away if your iPhone has been moved from where you last left it. Loud alarm signal. Works perfect!!

I would never leave my iPod Touch anywhere alone but good to have. Works as advertised so any bad reviews should be removed.

Pretty cool app, features I think should be updated (if possible) 1. Ability to be turned on when iPhone is locked 2. Longer siren 3. Require a passcode to stop the siren Other than that great job!

I love the way this app works. I just wish it could allow the iPhone to lock while Thief Alert stayed functional.

Love it!!

Really cool app, but it needs to be where you can set the alarm and lock your phone as well, or have a timer to set when you want the alarm to be activated.

I would recomend this app to friends if it could sound the alarm even if the vibrate mode was activated or at least u had the choice.

Very nice app needs passlock code option to use after you retrieve it

The alarm needs to be louder and it would be nice if one of your screen savers was a copy of the iPhone front page. Or if you could still run the app with a blank screen. Either way I like where its going as an app!

i would not recomend it because...1. the alarm isint that loud on my ipod 2. one dollar! stuf like this should be free! 3. its only foi iphone or the NEW ipod

Why would anyone buy this now? A week ago it was free.

Great idea for an app but it goes off whenever an email is forwarded to my iPhone and the email notifier vibrates (which is about every two minutes). And when I receive a call while the Thief Alert is activated, as soon as the call is terminated the alarm goes off. Annoying. Plus, it apparently doesnt work when the backlight is off and the screen is locked until the home button is pushed, then it goes off. So if a thief knows enough to push the home button (the only button on the phone) and set it off, its a pretty safe bet they will push the button again right away to disable it. Im totally bummed.

I bought this when it was free. And because it is now a dollar, there should be something more. Id like to have a passlock in your update because the Home button to exit is ridiculous. Thats the only button on the iTouch. My cousin tried it on me and the first thing when I heard the alarm was the home button. That was before I downloaded this. So there needs to be a change!!! Also for backgrounds, Id like it if we were able to use our own photos or the already iTouch backgrounds to make it look LESS sketchy ;) Thanks for reading.

note to all ipod touch owners this app will not work since the touch does not have adequate speakers.

The performance is excelent but the downfall is that if the thief accidentaly presses the home button the app is disabled and the iPhone will be and open book(until it goes to standby that is) so the disable method should be impolroved and then Ill give this app a five star rating. That is all.

Ok, but easy to disarm and needs option to lock. It would be helpfull to increase delay. Another nice option would be to be able to set your own image on screen. Hopefully the developer will consider for future updates.

its cool and i can use it a lot, but yhey should make it so that you can pick your own screen so that it would be more like what your friends or anyone might think it would look like

Anyone can press the home button and you wouldnt hear the alarm. I bet if you changed that more people would buy it.

Yes the siren is pretty cool but the thief will turn off siren (alarm) by just pressing home, it needs to have a pass code to deactivate alarm, otherwise it renders it useless. Alarm will sound for couple of seconds and as soon as the home button is pressed it will stop. I like "Motion Alarm" better although it has the same problem, however "Motion Alarm" has announced an update that will include a pass code. Is thief going to have this update anytime soon?????
