ideal spy apps

mSpy or Flexispy? Flexispy or mSpy? If you can’t seem to decide between these two spy apps that offer almost the same features then worry not as in this head-to-head comparison I will go over things that should actually affect your buying decision rather than a long list of features that might or might not work. We will begin by defining the ideal spy app and then see how close mSpy and Flexispy come to achieving perfection. Toward the end, I will discuss some of the biggest drawbacks of the apps and see if there is even a clear winner or are both of them overshadowed by something better. So strap in and let’s begin. What Is An Ideal Spy App? What is a spy app? If you answered anything along the lines of that it is an app that allows you to SPY on another device, then you’d be right. So the next question comes, “What makes a good spy app?” To understand this question, let’s look at the human counterpart of a spy app… let’s look at a spy *cue James Bond music* A spy app much like a spy…spies on a person, monitoring them and telling you all their secrets. And a good spy does that while not letting the person know that they are spied on. They do that reliably and they must be trustworthy. Other than that they should be easy to deal with, which means you don’t need to go through countless hoops trying to get in touch with them. They should also not be so expensive that you must mortgage your house to pay their fees. Other than that, the more extra services they offer the better. Finally, if you decide to cancel their services for whatever reason, they should be courteous and help you in that process. A good spy app should act like a good spy. It should be hidden, discreet, as silent as the grave, with the memory banks of an elephant, and as reliable as German automobiles. The spy app should work flawlessly whether the device you want to monitor is running Android 4.0, the latest iOS version, or the most recent Windows update. Just like a spy, the app should be easy to communicate with, which means it should be easy to use. They should not be expensive either. In fact, the ideal spy app should not cost you more than $10/month for monitoring one device. Last but not least, the ideal spy app much like an ideal spy should not, in any case, leak your sensitive information to anyone else. You can tolerate a lack of features, poor dashboard design, slow customer support, or an exorbitant price tag but there is no forgiveness for having your sensitive information leaked for the entire world to see. So, now that we have an idea of what the ideal spy app should be, we’re going to pit two of the most famous spy apps in the market against each other. We’re going to judge them on their features, how well they function, their compatibility with various OS, and their price tags. We are also going to see how far they are from an “ideal” spy app. Let’s start with our first entry…mSpy Does mSpy Come Close To The Ideal Spy App? mSpy started its life in 2014 and soon became a household name as its number of users exceeded 1 million. They advertise themselves as “The Best Phone Tracker For Parental Control”. Well…they’re certainly confident. Sparkle And His Weird Replies They have some incredible features that work as they’re supposed to. Their customer service is known to put a smile on their customers’ faces as seen by their Trustpilot reviews. Users remark how they needed assistance in setting up the spy app and were aided clearly and quickly. Some even say that their subscription was extended so they could export their recorded data when they forgot to do so previously. You can probably find more examples of how mSpy has incredible customer support and how people appreciate the mSpy free trial, but that isn’t available anymore. There are also plenty of 1-star reviews that say the customer service is the worst they have seen, there is an enormous wait for having tickets processed, and the features don’t work as advertised. The truth of the matter is…I messaged them on their website at 5:53 pm saying “I have a question regarding your app”. I am still waiting on a reply… Right, it’s 6:03 pm now and there’s still no reply. I’m going to give up on this and continue with the rest of the review. *Update: The “live chat” is actually a chatbot called “Sparkle” and not a good one at that. Apparently, its responses were not loading. When it did start working properly, having a real conversation with it is…difficult. So better prepare yourself to jump and jive to get the information you want. It’s Pretty Straightforward To Use Moving on to the mSpy control panel and ease of use, I’d say they’re doing a pretty good job. The mSpy login dashboard is followed by the main page, which represents the daily activity in a simple-to-view graphical format. Along with that, you can see the most visited websites, most calling contacts, most messaging contacts, a brief location history, and the general status of the target device. On the left, you have your general features in an easy-to-understand drop-down menu with various options and remote controlling options. One thing I do appreciate is that you don’t need to sign up for any “mSpy free trial” and can go through the demo without any hassle. One of the more notable features I found in the demo, was the ability to look at screen recordings and block Wi-Fi, websites, and applications. Until now we know that mSpy is not particularly easy to reach for problems but it is easy to use and offers incredible features. Compatibility With Devices and OSs mSpy can
