Right now, I have two phones, and tablet. I have yet to use the free 25 dollars given to use by Google, and I was wondering if the app was worth the license.
Hell yes. It's like $5 lol

In my opinion, this is probably the single most important android app to install. Also, one license for work for 5 devices. It's absolutely worth the asking price, and much more.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Imo it's absolutely worth it, and it's really a steal at like $2.50 or whatever it comes out to. Yes the permissions and access the app (and therefore the developer) has can be a bit concerning, but from everything I've seen so far it's nothing to worry about and I personally haven't had any issues whatsoever. The developer seems trustworthy and keeps the app updated, including for JB devices. Honestly you'd have to be pretty paranoid to refuse to install such an essential app onto your valuable devices for this type of reason, and if my phone or Nexus gets stolen I'll have the peace of mind knowing the app is installed and ready to do whatever needs to be done to get it back and keep my information from being accessed.
Personally I think its a little overpriced, given the exchange rate. Maybe as and when they have a sale.
I thought the only way to pay for this was via PayPal? Anyway, I agree, this is now the second app I install on the phone / tablet after flashing. The first remains Tasker.

No it doesn't. It asks for these permissions in order to be able to wipe them (without root) if need be.
I have Cerberus and I recommended it to everyone. I do believe that Cerberus does collect info and sell it. They are upfront about this and keep that info anonymous. Who cares if they see how much porn I watch?
Here it is. In the terms of use and privacy policy.

I recommended this app to a friend who had his phone stolen and he's been very happy with it. I haven't bought it myself, but I'm thinking I will very shortly as it's one thing to lose a phone, but another all together to lose my N7.
Avast Antivirus does more and is free... just saying
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
+1 for Avast
Avast = 4.7 rating = free
Cerberus = 4.6 rating = lunch
It is worth ... I think this is one of the most amazing app for Android. All those features. Great app!
So how good would Cerberus be on the N7 though? Seems like the power lies in it being able to accept SMS commands, right? Since the N7 isn't a phone, would it still be worth it, or am I not understanding how it works?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Good Q... I'm using it, but clearly only works if the N7 is connected to the thief's WiFi so not quite as powerful on a phone I guess..

Sorry for the shameless self promotion. But my Security app Root Defense was developed on the Epic 4G touch and unlike any other security app out there, it will allow you to continue to track your phone even if it gets wiped or a hard-reset by a thief.
It's almost impossible to lose your phone and it's completely free. You can subscribe if wanted for additional logging goodies.
It requires that you have a rooted phone (as most people have on XDA)
Please try it out and rate and comment on Google Play if you like it.

Yeah, Cerberus was a program created after ours that has many of the same features. Even including the 5 licenses for the price of one.
Root Defense comes with many many more features though and no user interface on the phone.
Basically its still free but with more features and a stealthier install.
Also ours shows the existing data of logs and location from before a phone went missing so you aren't in the dark when your device is off

Not emails, but most definitely texts, phone calls, and location. I'm not bashing this, just curious as to the advantages. I was one of the lucky ones who got Cerberus for free when they were doing the giveaway, just was wondering if it was worth... "upgrading"?

Root defense also is free and survives wipes and all the features the $4 a month is only if you wish to keep the logging features. All actually security features are free and always will be.
One of the major differences if the our free edition vs Cerberus is that our free version also keeps track of the last known coordinates.
What this means is that if your phone was stolen or lost and was either turned off or ran out of battery. Our product would show you where it last was and when it was there. Cerberus won't be able to show you anything as it needs to connect to the device each time to read data.
This is true of most fee or one-time fee programs because that's how they can afford it. In order to be helpful to people off-line, you need to store the data in a database which will quickly incur cost to developers (especially storing MMS messages.)
Anyway, different stroke for different folks. But keep in mind that after the trial ends, you still have (any always will have) all the free version features.
New version just released, check our main thread for details.

Avast for lost/stolen device tracking, allows device disable if the SIM is changed. Also allows you to lock, unlock, wipe, sound alarm by SMS. Hopefully I never need to use it.
From what i understand any perceived need for antivirus/malware scanning will disappear with 4.2 and the new Play Store.

That's a good app I used to use it but it gets owned by cerberus. Try that it has way more features for a one time 3.99 fee. U can test free for a week.

+1 for seekdroid. Got it for free from Amazon a while ago but have found that its pretty good. Haven't had to 'test' it for real just yet but gives me a bit of piece of mind.
Reality is that if your phone is stolen, likelihood of getting it back is pretty slim. For me, real important part would be able to wipe my data to protect myself from anything more than losing a couple hundred bucks on a device.
None, I don't believe in them. If my phone gets lost or stolen then that's that, little can be done afterwards. Police often times wont help and knocking on the persons door and demanding the phone will get you nowhere except property trespassing. Even then, I doubt my offender would want to use any of my information stored on my phone. Any smart thief would know to wipe the phone clean to avoid any of these apps which don't do much. As far a viruses go, really? The only reason anti-virus apps where made was to satisfy the needs of the paranoid, lets leave it at that.
I was mainly speaking of anti theft app, and not to get the phone back, but yes to wipe everything!

I dont have one installed right now, but when I do it's Lookout. I have had lookout stop installation for an app before, I was sideloading it. I dont keep one installed for normal use of the phone and Play Store, but if I was going to be sideloading apps again I would use it for that.
Cerberus is by far the best security app I've used.

Hello people
I was looking for an anti-theft app and did some research and found out that Cerburus is a pretty decent app. Is it worth buying..??
I have installed it and will try the features provided by it. but are there any other app which provide similar feature and is free...??
I know i should just go ahead and buy it but its like 2.99$ which is 200 bucks in my currency. So just wanted to get a clear picture before buying
Thanks
I bought it awhile ago and I think it has been pretty useful. There are some apps that will do some of what it will for free though.

400€ more or less is a big difference, so i'll say cerberus is worth every cent.
Can anyone tell me what it does better than a free one like lookout?

Personally, I think it's better (for me) than Lookout because I don't yet believe in anti-virus software for mobile devices. Any of them. It will be needed eventually, probably, but right now, to me it's just wasted CPU cycles and wasted memory blocks.
Cerberus is just what I need. And it does it well. Installed it for the rest of my family too! All paid for. And I'd pay again!

This is the price we pay for being the very first to get these updates. I don't mind it myself but for those that are bothered just wait for a free weeks before upgrading next time to give the app devs time to catch up.

Mint does have that, but it gives you a monthly budget.
Mint will look at your spending and tell you when you start to get close or go over those limits.
It also uses the same financial database that all the banks use, so its as safe to use as checking your bank website.
