The Cerberus anti-theft app is an app that can help you to recover an Android device that you might have lost or misplaced, or had stolen. For one week you can receive a free trial, and following that you’ll need to purchase a lifetime license, but this is at a low price of only €2.99. This is a one-off payment that you can buy within the app, and there are no other monthly or yearly fees.

The license that associates with your Cerberus account can then be used for up to five of your devices. The app helps you to safeguard your device in three ways. First, with remote control via the Cerberus app website, second with remote control via text message, and finally with a SIM checker that will automatically alert you if someone with an unauthorized SIM card uses your device.

Various operations of the app include locate and track, a loud alarm, wiping the internal memory and SD card, hiding Cerberus from the app drawer and locking the device via a code.
