Here’s a list of 5 anti theft alarm apps for Android which you can use to secure your Android powered tablets and smartphones from theft. Alarm apps that we’re gonna cover here can be used to protect you device from being used by nosy family and friends. Alarms can be triggered either by setting off the motion detector, removing phone from charger or when the wrong pin number is typed on the lock screen (this one requires you to have the a lock screen with a pin number).
Let’s look at the apps we found in the Google Play Store.
Anti Theft Alarm by mmapps mobile
Anti Theft Alarm uses two of the theft detection methods that I mentioned in the introduction to detect if someone is messing with your phone.
It can detect if someone is using your phone by monitoring motion sensors and the charger. Depending on which method you’ve chosen, if someone removes your phone from the charger or if they just move it an inch, you’ll know about it. Alarm can be PIN protected so that you need to type in a PIN when deactivating it.

Conclusion
All the apps that I mentioned above are great at what they do. They all worked as advertised so it’s difficult to pick one particular app to single it out. I might give the Anti Theft Alarm by Jorli Apps a slight head start, but only because it takes camera pictures.
