Free tool for device location

Hide and seek Ultra is a free-to-use utility designed specifically for people who keep forgetting where they left their phone. This small tool works as a location tracker that responds to user input. Should you miss where your device is, just clap a couple of times, and the phone will give off a loud sound, making it easier to find it.

With a straightforward application paired with a user-friendly interface, Hide and seek Ultra is an excellent tool to keep on your device. The app works fine, but it contains script that is tagged as harmful by Google Play.

Find your phone nearby

The first thing to note with Hide and seek Ultra is that it doesn’t use modern location tracking technologies such as GPS to tell you where the phone is. Instead, it works through sound input. If it hears a certain noise level, the app responds by giving off a loud siren-like sound. The good thing about it is that it works even if your phone is locked or silent.

Users also won’t need to worry about storage since the package only comes at about 20 MB. It also works with older devices. In terms of usage, you only need to use it twice. When you install it, it will ask for a couple of permissions, such as accessing certain features to perform its task. The other is when you turn off the alarm after finding your phone.

As mentioned, there are still a couple of restrictions with the app. First that it requires certain permissions to work, which puts it into conflict with Android OS, causing the default systems to flag it as a malicious piece of software. Additionally, it could take a couple of tries since the app only works from a certain range. Unless the app registers a certain sound quality, it will not respond.

Good for indoor tracking

If you’re the type who regularly forgets where you left your phone indoors, then the Hide and seek Ultra is for you. It’s easy to set up, has a small file size, and works easily. Unfortunately, it only has a single purpose and works using a single mechanism, leaving the app with no workaround against its range restrictions. Also, it has a security issue with Android systems, despite being safe.

  • Pros

    • Small file size
    • Easy to use
  • Cons

    • Flagged as malicious by Google Play
    • Only works from a certain range

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.
