Any good resources for learning to use it?

I just tinkered around with it a lot.

The geolocation stuff is neat, too. I have it so it sets my phone to vibrate when I get to work, and back when I was still running Torque, I had it set to boot up Torque automatically whenever it connected to my car.

Android has that built in for free.
You just need to connect to your Android Device Manager from Google.
It requires some hoop jumping to get it to work the first time in newer versions of android.


You have to setup "Accounts" and connect to Google using your gmail or playstore login.
Then you can see & control all of your Android devices remotely.
You can even install apps remotely.

I think all antivirus apps do this. Avast does. But I'm sure some you would have to buy. Avast has a membership version but I could see one you had to pay for up front having the same features without a membership
