If you have ever lost your iphone the sinking feeling cannot be replicated, except by losing one of your children maybe. So much data and information on one little device. Well, the iHound app will let you send your phone a message and track it to its current location so you can find it. iHound fails to let you know that if you track your phone to say, a Hells Angels clubhouse, that you are still screwed but at least you know where it is. The best thing is you don’t need a mobile me account for it. Not that having a mobile me account is all bad but adding another monthly fee to the iphone can break the bank since ATT is already bending us over.
The new version of the app is an upgrade with push notifications and alerts and works when your phone is in silent mode. It has improved configuration settings and an in app mapping feature. There is a service fee to use the service but it is nominal compared to losing your iPhone. And all without the sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach that some one other than you has your phone.
Warning: This app is not a replacement for common sense.
