This is an app review for cylay which is available through rock or cydia on jailbroken phones
This app has been around for a while on the jailbreak scene, the first one to come out and allow you to protect your iPhone and your privacy. The idea of the app seems very simple but there is no others out there with this many options and this well laid out. I never tried it before as it was never free but now they have a free version so i thought i’d check it out
Once you have installed cylay three you can create an account in the settings menu and it gives you various options like enable cylay, what to do if iPhone gets set as lost and things like that. One of the best things is if you enter your google account details it allows you to do a complete back up of your iPhone remotely.
Once your all set with all your options you can go to cylay.com and sign in, now this is the main control panel of cylay. This is where you can declare your phone lost, track it via google maps and it is very very precise to where it tracks. The options are amazing, check recent calls, send a text to the phone, activate camera, lock phone…. see below
The options are brilliant it almost wants me to loose my iPhone just so i can try and find it again, there has already been success stories from people having there phones stolen and re-found through cylay. If you want to pay for it, it will cost you $19.99 a year but it is well worth considering! The only thing that makes me a bit iffy is if someone finds your phone and knows what they are doing then they could simply restore the phone? But then again there is the option to allow the phone to not be turned off so i wonder if it stops it?
A must have app now its free or three as it says 
(I edited your review. Maybe you’ll like this version more.)

Cylay has been around for a while on the jailbreak scene and is the first app to come out which allows you to protect your iPhone and your privacy. The idea behind the app seems commonplace, but there is no other app available for the iPhone with this many security options and as well designed. Regretfully, I had never tried its prior installments, as it was never free; but now that there is a free version, I thought I’d check it out.
Once you have installed Cylay 3 on your iPhone, you can create an account in the Settings menu. Also in the Settings menu are various options like enabling Cylay or assigning what to do if your iPhone gets lost or stolen. One of the app’s best features here (after entering your google account details), is to allow Cylay to do a complete backup of your iPhone, remotely.
Once you’ve completed setting your preferences, you can go to cylay.com and sign-in, bringing you to the main control panel of cylay. This is where you can declare your iPhone lost or stolen and track its precise location via google maps. The options are amazing! Check recent calls, send a text to the phone, activate camera, lock phone…. see below
The options are brilliant! I almost want to lose my iPhone so I can find it again with this app. Then, I’ll have a story like the many other success stories of people finding their stolen iPhones with Cylay.
If you want to pay for the premium service, it will cost you $19.99 a year (which is well worth considering). The only thing I question is if Cylay’s option to “Keep Your iPhone On” (or whatever it’s called exactly) will prevent a thief from simply restoring your iPhone to factory settings, thereby deleting Cylay altogether.
Well, that’s my take on it. What about you?

Hi,
cylay has changed very much now and I do not think they offer the free version, it does run in the background on the phone and is very secret and is hard to find within the settings menu although if someone has found your phone and wipes it completely by installing a new firmware im not sure if there is much you can do about it unless this had been addressed in the new versions
