You will never regret it since its easy to use, setup and work with. Install and forget it. Also, you can anytime turn off the annoying ads. The app compares favorably to other Android security apps and is ranked as the fourth best security app by AV-Test. In all the years I've used Lookout, I've never actually had the app alert me that it had detected malware. Although installing such helpful apps come with a trade-off of memory and battery, but whats the use of saving battery when your phone is subjected to security risks. There are always trade-offs associated with any software piece! **What problems is Lookout solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps me stay away from interfering with the other hybrid apps and permissions ### 35.

Good Looking Out **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 20, 2018 **What do you like best about Lookout?** Lookout is one of the greatest applications I’ve ever had talked in my phone. I love everything about it. I had my phone stolen about a year ago, by someone who I thought was my friend, and I would have never known that if it wasn’t for Lookout. It immediately lets me know that my phone had been shut down, or put on airplane mode, or if the SIM card removed, and gave me the option to lock it. I can locate the phone easily too. Not only is it great that reason, but it will also alert you when you’re using an unsecure network to browse the internet. You also get breach reports and there’s a lot more. I think this is a great app and it is especially great for when one is running their own business because we handle not only ours, but clients valuable information sometimes, and that can someone land in the hands of a thief. **What do you dislike about Lookout?** I dislike the fact that a lot of these features are premium features. Besides the Free plan, they have a Premium and Premium Plus. If you want all these cool features like the. $1M Identity Theft Insurance, Identity Monitoring, or Social Media Watch, you have to pay monthly or yearly for their services. **What problems is Lookout solving and how is that benefiting you?** I lost my phone about a year ago, which is when I was just brainstorming and making plans for my business. Most of my thoughts, ideas, and some documents were saved in my device. If Sprint would have never advertised it, I would have never learned about Lookout and a lot of my things would have just been lost. I was able to recover my SD Card from the phone. ### 40.

It takes time to scan every app and every file downloaded which makes it remarkable to use. **What do you dislike about Lookout?** Using it or always keeping it on scanning mode immensely drains my battery.
