    Could you explain why you wouldn’t use it?

    I’ve been using it for a couple of years and am happy with it, it grants an extra layer of security I think, if you can wipe the device when lost/stolen. Also very handy if you misplaced the phone and its set to not ring, as with this it will ring at full volume. You don’t need to use their server for the app to function, if that is your concern. I use a secondary device from my household. You can send a text message to your phone to let it ring even when its set to silent mode/get its location/or even wipe it remotely.

      Nothing against the project or the concept, I personally don’t have a need for. I’m just the kind of person who is organized when it comes to stuff like that (no offense to anyone, I really try to be careful with the wording here!). And if I don’t see a need for a software or service, then there is no need to add complexity to the system. I’m still curious enough about these tools to look into. That’s all.

      Not OP, but the tools provided by my OEM of choice are already really good, so it’s something I’m glad exists but isn’t useful to me.
