Lookout Premium app review

Everyone’s favourite Android security app has now received a Premium version which adds remote wiping, remote locking, and enhanced backup and restore features. The latter is perhaps the most interesting feature for everyday users, as it now lets you back-up and transfer your photos should you change phone.

Another major new feature for Premium users is the Privacy Advisor, which lets you know about any apps that can track your location or access your private information. All this, plus the standard edition’s excellent feature roster (including handset tracking and malware protection) make this an essential download.
