 Some time ago, I’ve covered a new feature in MobileMe called “Find my iPhone” that helps you to locate your iPhone if it’s lost or picked up by someone else. Now, Orbicule, a Belgium company which develops theft-recovery app for the Mac, also brings an iPhone app named “Undercover” to help you recover your lost or stolen iPhone.

If you do not want to subscribe to MobileMe and want to have this recovery feature, you can purchase the Undercover app from App Store for US$4.99. Every time when the Undercover application is launched, the phone’s location (via the built-in GPS) and IP information are stored in your account. You can then access www.undercovercenter.com and login to your account to track the device.


But, you may probably wonder: what if Undercover app is not launched when the iPhone is stolen or lost? The latest version of Undercover app utilizes Push Notification and allows you to remotely launch Undercover on the stolen iPhone in order to track the location. When your iPhone is lost, you can send a notification to the iPhone. The phone will ring and Undercover will display the notification on top of any running application. When the person, who pickup your iPhone, views the message, Undercover will automatically transmit the iPhone’s location back to the Undercover Centre.

Undercover is a good alternative to MobileMe’s Find My iPhone feature. You can download the app via this direct iTunes link.
