Trash

Doesn’t work all gotta do is swipe up son unlocked it first try

Useless app way too complicated

Way too complicated. Email doesn’t work. I want my money back

Should provide refund!!!

This is an amateur cosmetic lock screen only. Can be easily closed by locking or selecting the iPhone button,I imagine it’s a basic Boolean that triggers an alarm, Complete scam I’ll be submitting complaint!!!!!

Atalho p/ Ativação do Lock

- Sugiro atalho (ex. apertar 2 vezes botão power) para ativação do lock em situações de emergência, por exemplo, se você sabe que será roubado e deverá entregar o aparelho, nesse caso travando antes de entregá-lo.
- Sugiro um modo de sinalização do alarme somente quando alguém tocar na tela 2 ou 3 vezes.
- Por fim, deixo a dica que já é possível fazer o lock total, inclusive botão power, através de certificados de confiança do sistema para o app (ex: app Prey).

FAQ

What does iGotYou do?

iGotYou is a security application designed to help you identify potential theft or unauthorized access to your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. It alerts you by taking photos and sending your device's location via email when specific events occur.

What are the main alert modes available?

The app offers three primary alert modes: Motion alert, which triggers if the device is moved; Pocket/Bag alert, which activates if the device is removed from a pocket or bag; and Power alert, which notifies you if the power cable is unplugged.

How do I set up email notifications?

To set up email notifications, you need to configure a dedicated email account (e.g., from Gmail or Hotmail) within the app. You will then enter the email address and password, and can test the settings by sending a test email. Ensure 'less secure app access' is enabled in your email account settings if needed.

How do I disarm the alarm?

After an alert is triggered and a photo is taken, you have 15 seconds to disarm the app by entering your secret pattern. If the pattern is entered correctly within the time limit, the alarm will be stopped. Otherwise, the alarm will sound for a configured duration.

Is this app compatible with my device?

This application supports iPhone, iPod, and iPad devices. It utilizes the device's built-in motion, proximity, and power detectors to function.
