mSpy Review: Smartphone Spying Application
From last few days, I have been testing out a Spying application called mSpy for Smartphones. mSpy was already included in one of the best mobile spying apps for smartphones but now, I got a chance to have hands on testing the app. I bought a 1 month subscription and here is my honest review about it.
Installation and Configuration
I tried it on Android device and mspy application isn’t available on Play Store, you get a download link to mSpy APK from dashboard. File name of this application is kept as a.apk and when you install it, Application name displays as com.system.displayservice. Maybe these actions are taken for security purposes so that target phone user won’t come to know about your intentions.
One important thing just after completing installation, you need to take care of is activating the app as Device Administrator. This gives application rights to monitor and Erase/Wipe target phone data remotely.
Registration– Just to confirm the device added to mspy dashboard, you need to verify the PIN given on screen.
Installation Finished! Application will now be completely invisible and target phone user will never come to know about the background activities of mSpy.

Things to be done on Phone are completed. Now, just login to mSpy dashboard online and you will start seeing the information about the phone you recently added. You can confirm the device by checking out Model number, IMEI (if you know), Carrier, etc.
Dashboard is simple and intuitive with important tabs given on left to navigate various places on Phone. Information which mSpy fetches out from device is awesome, almost everything is included in dashboard.
You will feel as if you have a mobile device on Computer screen. Not just information is offered but you also have some privileges to take action like blocking, deleting, specifying rules, etc.
SMS Tracking: Initially, it will take time to sync all SMS conversations but once completely synced, you get to see SMS as they are sent/received.
Call Tracking and Recording: I am facing delays in getting call logs from Phone even though on Wi-Fi connection, maybe it is a platform/device specific problem. Recording is disabled by default but can be enabled on demand.
Location Tracking: App was able to send accurate location data even though, GPS was disabled. It used location from Carrier Network I guess.
Try out demo yourself on official website.
Synchronization Settings: This is one of the important setting. It specifies when to synchronize: like when on Wi-Fi or Data connection. For SMS, Call Log sync, it is recommended to keep it on ‘All Connections’ but for heavy size data like Call recordings or Video Uploads, you should make it Wi-Fi.
This is because, target phone user may get suspicious about the heavy data usage. Again, it is up to you, if you feel Video recordings are important, leave the setting to ‘All connections’.
App and Call Blocking: mSpy Dashboard gives information on all the apps installed on device and along with that previlege to block launching of certain apps remotely. But in my tests, Blocking didn’t work. I was still able to launch and use the app without any obstruction even though it was set to be blocked by mSpy. Same was the story for phone number blocking.
Apart from this, you can restrict certain websites from accessing. This is useful in case of parents monitoring their kids from accessing harmful/adult websites.
Conclusion: I haven’t used many spying applications for smartphone so cannot compare it with anyone. But, I feel mSpy is a sophisticated Smartphone tracking application with easy to use features. Some features as I said were buggy but the essential oness did their job fabulously. Considering the amount you spend on purchasing this application will feel worth each penny when you start realizing its benefits.
Just in case if you want to know, let me tell you that mSpy offers a money back guarantee so you can try it risk free by visiting mSpy.
