iTrackU2 on the App Store

Here are the core features available when iTrackU2 is run from the device Home Screen:

Establishes a membership enrollment for your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with the Lost and Found Registry at iTrackMobile.com, directly from the devices' Home Screen. Membership is free.
Unlike the web-based enrollment process, the iTrackU2 application allows for a simpler and unrestricted setup, utilizing features that are native to the device.
Provides a standard Wallpaper ID image for prominent display on the device Lock Screen to assist in the recovery of a lost unit.
Displays customizable Alert Messages on the device screen through the use of the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS), a technology which interfaces the iTrack Lost and Found Registry with special Apple servers to facilitate the distribution of important messages in real-time in the event a member declares a device as 'lost'. These messages can be displayed on a Passcode protected device, or alternatively also start the iTrackU2 app (if the device is unlocked) to offer the finder more comprehensive options to return the device to the owner.
Allows the device owner to record a customized voice message for automatic playback to the finder.
Captures tracking information by Internet IP Address as well as Device Location Services. This information can be useful to supplement a Police Report in an effort to recover a device that was reported as lost or stolen.
Displays an Alert Notification Badge on the Home Screen Application Icon. This entices a user to launch the iTrackU2 app.
Can send notifications to the owner's contact email address each time device activity is detected.
In case of theft, owner has the option to have device tracking information automatically interfaced with the premier online Investigation System in use by U.S. Law Enforcement. This feature is provided free of charge.
Includes a feature to simulate device loss to demonstrate the functionality of application behavior. Of course, in the event of a real loss, the device tracking is configured and monitored under the Member Profile of the web-based Lost and Found Registry at iTrackMobile.com.
All device activity is filed at the Lost and Found Registry for each device. A maximum history of 5 tracking events are stored per device with the on-line Registry. If more than 5 activity events occur, then the oldest entries are deleted to make room for the most recent ones.
The activity history can be downloaded at any time by the member in either a CSV or KML format for import into a spreadsheet program or Google Earth, respectively. At the users option, tracking history can be expanded through an In App purchase (see optional features below).
When a device is lost, a multi-language Alert Screen is displayed to enable the finder to contact the owner for the return of the unit.
English, Spanish, and German language displays can be selected by the user or are automatically initialized based on the International setting of the device.
Extensive documentation is included. Overall features of the iTrack Lost and Found Registry are described in detail throughout the website at iTrackMobile.com

The following optional features can be upgraded and activated from within iTrackU2 by using In App real-time purchasing on the App Store with your iTunes Account:

Enabling the customization of user-selected web sites for activity tracking from the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch Home Screen. Web Clips are place onto the Home Screen by means of a secured Configuration Profile. The tracking information can be helpful to a Law Enforcement Agency in the recovery of a lost or stolen device.
Enabling the owner to customize an unlimited number of Wallpaper IDs by selecting images from the Photo Library or using stock images delivered with the iTrackU2 app. The customized Wallpaper IDs are stored on the device and can be selectively configured for display on the Lock Screen.

Tracking history can be expanded in form of Tracking Storage Bundles. Each bundle can accommodate 5 tracking points and associated Map Displays.

CORE FEATURE SUMMARY

1. Membership Signup

After iTrackU2 is installed, the first step is to register your membership and device with iTrackMobile.com.

You need to provide a unique and functioning email address. This address will be used as your Member ID as well as for electronic communication by the system.

For access security reasons, you need to assign a password which will enable you to log into your Member Profile at iTrackMobile.com as well as signing into the iTrackU2 application on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

In addition, the Serial Number of the device must also be provided. The Serial Number uniquely identifies an Apple device. The Lost and Found Registry will not allow multiple devices to be registered under the same Serial Number. The Serial Number can be obtained by navigating from the device Home Screen to: Settings -->General -->About -->Serial Number.

After successfully registering, a default Wallpaper ID image is downloaded to the device and stored in the Photo Library (iPad, iPod touch) or Camera Roll (iPhone).

From there, the image should be manually assigned as the device Lock Screen Wallpaper.

Please check here for sample screenshots and instructions illustrating the iTrackU2 membership setup process.

2. Tracking Configuration

After the membership has been established and the device registered, iTrackU2 can be launched from the Home Screen to configure and test the tracking features of the system. The user needs to first log into the application by providing the membership password.

Touching the 'Device Tracking' heading on the main iTrackU2 screen will open the configuration views.

Device tracking is based on a user activating the iTrackU2 application or customized Web Clips from the Home Screen (refer to Optional Upgrade Features below).

Whenever device tracking is active, location information and IP address data is collected and stored at the Lost and Found Registry under the members' device profile. Although tracking configuration parameters can be established directly from the device, the settings managed by the user under the members' device profile stored at the Registry will take precedence.

Following are the Device Tracking setup features available from iTrackU2:

a) Stealth Mode. When set, this will operate device tracking 'quietly' without indicating to the user that the device was declared as lost.

If this option is not set, then an alert page is displayed in addition to collecting tracking information for a lost device.

Device loss is declared by the owner under the members' device profile at the Lost and Found Registry website iTrackMobile.com.

b) eMail Alert. When set, an email message is send to the members' Contact Email Address each time activity is encountered.

c) Only When Lost. When set, device tracking is only performed when the owner declared the device as lost.

d) APNS with Lock. When set, indicates that the device is Passcode protected. Alert messages are pushed to the device by the system using owner contact information as specified in the Member Profile. The Alert Messages contain sufficient information to advise the finder on how to contact the owner to return the device. Note that Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) alerts are displayed even if the device is Passcode protected. In the event that the device is not Passcode protected, APNS alerts are displayed and can also cause the iTrackU2 app to be launched to provide more comprehensive instructions to the finder on how to return the device.

The following configuration option only applies if the Web Site tracking feature upgrade was purchased:

e) URL Caption. When set, device tracking will also capture the URL of the web site associated with the Web Clip.

The device tracking history captured at the Lost and Found Registry can be viewed from within iTrackU2 (touch the Tracking button). This enables review of results in real-time when performing functionality testing with the device. Tracking information is captured and listed in chronological order based on U.S. Central Time, with focus on IP Address interpretation. The Lost and Found Registry is utilizing a commercial IP Address database to determine the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and approximate location from where the device was used. If Device Location Services information was tracked also, then the location and date/time of the device is shown on a map, including the approximate street address, if possible.

Please check here for sample screenshots and more detailed instructions demonstrating the iTrackU2 tracking configuration process.

A simulation feature, discussed here in more detail, enables the user to operate the device as if it was lost without sending information to the largest on-line investigation system in use by US Law Enforcement, and managed by LeadsOnline.com.

3. Alerts and Notifications

The existence of important messages and alerts are indicated through the display of a badge number at the top corner of the iTrackU2 icon on the Home Screen.

The display of a Badge Number also entices a user to launch the application, which will cause tracking information to be transmitted to the iTrack Lost and Found Registry.

Notifications usually are informative messages pertaining to the running state of the application based on information received from the iTrack Registry server or configuration options set on the device. Notifications can only be accessed by logging into the device.

Two types of Alert Messages are generated by the Lost and Found Registry:

Critical messages waiting to be retrieved by the member at the iTrack Lost and Found Registry. Retrieving these types of messages usually require that the member log into the Member Profile section at the Registry.

Apple Push Notification Services (APNS) messages because the owner declared the device as 'lost' under the Member Profile at the Registry. The notification alerts can either be system default messages or are customized by the owner for the device registered under the Member Profile.

Based on the member's preferences, the system will either play a voice message or a default sound to alert the user to return the lost device.

Click a speaker icon to hear the Voice Alert.

When an owner declares a device as lost or stolen at the Lost and Found Registry via iTrackMobile.com, a Alert Screen is displayed whenever a user activates the iTrackU2 application or any of the Web Clips configured for tracking (refer to Optional Upgrade Features below).

The Alert Screen and owner contact instructions can currently be displayed in several languages: English, German, or Spanish. More language are expected to be added in the future.

If the device International setting is any one of these languages, then the Alert Screen is displayed in the preferred localization. The default language is English.
