iOS App Find My iPhone

This feature allows user to find the lost iPhone or iPad or iPod device using iCloud account

I tried to download this app from the store on my iPod device which was on iOS 6.0, it asked whether i want to download an older version. The current version in the store required iOS 7.0 to be installed.

I downloaded this app and logged into iCloud.com and could see a number of Apple apps such as Find iPhone Contacts, Calendar, notes. reminder, pages, numbers, keynote etc.

Soon i entered into the app, it shown me the list of devices inside and their status with the time it pinged to the iCLoud. clicing on the device shown the location in the map. and all of them except two those shown offline where in office

this require the location services to be on for the locate feature to work. However it can still show that it is online.

It also has lock mode and a user can remotely lock that device. If the device is alredy has a passcode, it will lock the device with that code. if not, it will ask user to give a passcode.

If the device is offline at the time of checking on the app, we can set saying notify when this device ocmes online.

Pretty useful feature.
