What an iPhone spy software can do for you?

Reviews on Mobile Spy iPhone spy software

A Smartphone can make your life very convenient if you use it the right way but it’s also a device that is misused. The misuse might be at the hands of a child or, at the hands of an employee at work. There are many ways to control how someone uses their cell phone but the most unobtrusive and possibly a stealth way to do it is with an app like Mobile Spy. The app is available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry. It allows you to see how a phone is being used; data usage, talk time, messages sent, where it is being used (GPS information), and what it is being used for.

Once installed on a phone that you want to monitor, the app will let you receive periodic updates via SMS on where the phone currently is. The GPS position is refreshed every thirty minutes and on your side, via the Mobile Spy control panel, you can view the position on a map. Messages that are sent from the device are logged. You can see the content of the message and find out who the recipient is. Even if the device user chooses to delete the message, it will still be saved by Mobile Spy.

You can view all of the photos and videos, emails from the primary email account and all contact information on the phone. With the help of a LIVE control panel, you can view the mobile’s screen live! It is updated every 90 seconds and gives you amazing facility of real-time monitoring. You can also receive real-time GPS locations of the cell phone and send all of the detailed logs directly to your email, thanks to the control panel. If lost or stolen, the device can be remotely locked or wiped. There is also a SIM card notification tool, allowing you to receive alerts if an individual replaces the SIM card. On the dark side however, it still lacks several advanced parental controls, like blocking specific websites and mobile applications.

With detailed guidance in the user guide, it may seem complex, but basically Mobile Spy’s working is pretty simple. The administrator (customer) buys Mobile Spy and downloads the software on the phone he wishes to monitor. The program can be configured according to the requirements of the customer. The phone user then uses the device as he pleases, while Mobile Spy records the activities and uploads the logs to the Mobile Spy servers. The customer can log into his / her online account from anywhere and view all recorded activities. All activities include a date / time stamp making it easy to search chronologically. They can also be searched by Phone number. The logs can be exported to CSV for importing it to a database. All this is done in stealth mode, with the cell phone user oblivious of the fact that his cell phone is actually being monitored.

The username and password for the customer can be changed at his will. Three devices can be monitored with one subscription, so you don’t have to pay for Mobile Spy separately for the rest of your supportable devices. If there is anything you may require assistance in, the Online Tech Support is there 24/7. Once you become a member, you will be entitled to free updates.
