(App for) Tracking Lost Android Phones?

TL;DR Summary

Programs to track lost Androids?

Hi All,
Can anyone recommend a free/cheap app to track lost Android phones? Did a search and saw a few sources but wanted to see if someone here can personally recommend. In case it helps, its an LG K8.

I like the iPhone FInd My Phone app.

Well GOogle has a service for that:

and this full service service:

and this google app

Unless you've disabled it, the default Google 'Find my Phone' should work for this, @WWGD. I've used it, it's fine, literally doing what it says on the box, though I haven't scrubbed a phone with it, only located one.

There is an overview of how it works on the LG site:

Is there something you need in the 'Find my Phone' function that Google's mechanism that doesn't provide?

Thank you. I haven't tried Google's 'Find my Phone' yet. Will try it today/tomorrow.
