Whistle Me
bit.ly/dontwhistle494There are lots of apps on Google Play that
are similar to Find My Phone Whistle, but not
all of them are as good –
as Whistle Me
demonstrates. It claims
to help you find your
phone by whistling but,
according to many of
the app’s reviewers, it
doesn’t always work.
This could be due to the
fact that the app hasn’t
been updated for more
than three years. Do not
pay the £2.09 asking
price for this one!FindMyPhoneWhistle
