Sorry to tell you, but the product does not really do what they say
It is almost impossible to get updated information from the target phone
To give you an example after an update in SEPT the last phone call registered under myspy app was in JUNE (so? Someone did not call or receive any call from JUNE until SEPT)
The last suggestion they gave me was to update daily mspy with the target phone in my hands kkkk! Common if I will have the target phone in my hands why do I need mspy app anyway
Horrible service, NEVER GIVE YOU A REFUND, even though their website say you have 10 days to request FULL REFUND, they only offered me half of it! Really pissed off
Should i cry? Because it almost feels like that i have dumped hundreds of my dollars after subscribing to this app. Thumbs down! I tried xnspy and it worked better than mspy.

Before, you were able to listen to the calls. Now you only see what numbers are called to and from. It never worked! Getting in touch with them is bad, answers they give you are worse! They are hard to understand and when you call, the call is hung up two to three times. Not worth the trouble or the time! Just a waste of money!
Dear Rose,
Thank you for you feedback!

I had the the mSpy installed few day ago, however, its work only for short time ( or just a moment?! --- the moment reinstalling the mSpy). So far, I never see instant phone update except during the new restallation. I have reinstalled the mSpy for 3 times, but still, today, the last phone update was the time I reinstalling time last night. In addition, if needed view chat apps, its need to do another " complicated" steps which we not likely to go another web site to down load the software. Why can't mpsy do it one off? Since we were told we can view all chats with mspy and we pay for it.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us!
The reasons why target phone loses connection might be different:
- The target phone is not in the network coverage area.
- The target phone doesn't have the internet connection.
- The target phone is turned off.
- The mSpy is blocked by Antivirus.
- The application was removed from the device.
- The target phone has been updated/restored.
- A user has made a factory reset.
We would be glad to help you with your problem if you could contact our support line that works 24/7. You can also contact me directly to [email protected] so I can investigate on your issue personally.

It never worked from day one, no refund and no fix,
They have a pre-set of email for you evey time you ask a question, something like "our developer I working on the issue", We will you a partial refund", "give you 2 more month of sub", don't listen to the lies, they never works, never fix, and never refund. There is no developer, its a scam program, that don't work!
Call your credit card company dispute the charge is the only way out.
MSpy Rep, don't need to reply my post, unless you can refund me in full today.
June7, added:
Haha, they reply the post quickly, but reply to my support request/ refund request sloooooooowly. I emailed to your billing dept *******@mspy.com, still no refund.
Yes works with android, and iPhone, but only update call logs and text message, nothing else works, GPS location no logged, whatsapp Not logged, Facebook not logged, skype not logged, Snapchat not logged, photo not logged, video not logged. If you called that's working, software is a joke.
Dear Friend,
Be kindly informed that in order to process a refund we need to identify you as a customers first. I would kindly ask you to write back directly to us to [email protected] so we can check your account and find out the reason what exactly is not working for you.
Our program works on Android 4+ and iOS 6+ (with or without jailbreak) and once everything is set up correctly you will start getting all information.
This worked the first few times, and then stopped completely. I get different lines that don't make any sense each time I speak with customer service. Nothing has changed with the target device, it charges and has wifi and updates each day... so why no updates? The times are also off at times as well as dates. It's shady but what can you expect. It sure is hard to find honest companies on the internet.
Dear Bandy,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Please describe what kind of phone do you want to monitor? I would also ask you right back to me at [email protected] so I can check your case personally and find a proper solution for you. Our team will do its best to solve your issue.
Thank you for choosing mSpy
I'm in, got all the credentials and everything set up, but when i click Update to update the info. It just says in progress. I've tried many time but never goes through and i have left it on for Many Hours.
Dear Dave,
If you monitor an iPhone without jailbreak everything depends on the last backup time from the target device.
In order to get more information I would kindly ask you to get in touch with our support team at [email protected] and they will gladly help you with all your concerns. Just mention your account ID or write from an email that you used for registration.

They are a FAKE! They are SCAM! They will take your money and not give you anything in return. I never received my program. I called... no answer. I emailed... no answer. I started reading reviews about the same thing happening with other people. DONT BUY MSPY. The kicker is I tried getting a refund and now they continue charging my account! WTF! I should have known better... BEWARE!
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Please be informed that in case auto-renewal option was enabled in your account - it will be charged automatically, at the same time you can disable this function manually right from your account.

You will be charged automatically every month unless you deactivate the the auto renewal service and then you will still be charged an additional month when you deactivate it! It is not as simple to install as they suggest especially if you have a virus protection on your phone and the help team take forever to actually "help" and are pretty much useless and will only refer you to the instruction, there is no way you'll be getting a refund if you cant install the product either! Don't waste your money!

I purchased the product at 3 pm in afternoon. Was supposed to get the email with download in 2 hours.
It is now 5 hours later and nothing...
I place 3 phone calls to the number provided to me by Paypal for this mSPY.
All 3 times the line as inactive/disconnected.
Requested PayPal for a refund asap, while I can.
If mSpy want to offer my their good sound product they can reach me and show good faith without taking any identity/ credit card info from me.
That might be a good and honest review.

There program dont work and they dont give refund. I spent hours trying to get this peice of garbage working. No one picks up the phone snd when they do they put you on hold forever! Email didnt get replied to for 3 days! STAY AWAY FROM MSPY
I found out that someone used my card to buy this and immediately contacted this company and told them that I didn't authorized anything on my account and do they are telling me that I can't get my money back. I have not talked to anyone all I have gotten is emails saying the same thing. After I did my research on this company is doing not need anyone tracked I don't have any one to track or spy on. It against the law also to be getting information on someone without they permission. They need to put my money back on my card or I will get a lawyer and make this company pay more out of their pockets. I am posting on every site that this company promotes their products on even Facebook twitter. Then I am going to the BBB. I will let the world know what kind of company this is..

The application didn't allow me to monitor a particular application in a manner that was satisfactory. Monica, in MSpy's billing department, emailed me to let me know I wouldn't be charged after the trial period. I have been charged and mSpy is refusing to reverse the charges. They (Anna in their billing dept.) even told me that I would have to pay $25 extra if I want to use their program.
MSpy... I DON'T WANT YOUR SOFTWARE AND WANT YOU TO REVERSE THE $199 CHARGE TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT.
This is the first of many reviews I'll be posting to these type of sites. I have complete email exchanges to back up these claims. I'll post the exchanges as a photo to this site if they don't reverse the charges.
I don't know what it is going on, I'm looking to buy the spy app, it's happened for me to stop by and view Mspy.com and by the advertising it made me really want to buy and trying it out by all the features that they have, The charge is expensive, but people don't mind to buy and invest on it, but only bad thing about it by reading the NEGATIVE REVIEWS it Freak me out. Now days everything is online and that's the way to make money online, but by making good money is by build the good relationship between customer and the company with honest and trust, but by the way of doing business by grab the money and run, I think is better to close the business and work on something else for living
BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY PURCHASE ONLINE. Please STOP! Go to Google Search for REVIEWS FIRST. TO PREVENT HEADACHE LATER
Dear Duma,
Thank you for your feedback.
As you know each company has their pros and cons, mSpy is not an exception. If you are hesitating weather to purchase or not our app, we have a 7-day trial for your convenience, so you can try mSpy prior to investing money on it. Also our 24/7 support line is always there for your convenience.
In case you have any more questions, please let us know.
Best Regards,
MSpy team.
While mSpy does describe their service's compatibility and "no refund" policies in their online literature, I like many here, did not read the fine print before signing up. And also like others here, I discovered within minutes that the phone I need to monitor is not compatible, making the service completely useless for me, and that mSpy refuses to issue a refund. They lamely offered an extension of a month or a downgrade to "basic" - neither of which I can use due to the incompatibility issue... and they know it.
Buyer beware - read all the fine print before you click "Purchase"!
Hello David,
We apologize for all the inconvenience caused.
Our refund policy is clear and available for all the potential customers online, nothing is hidden, as well as the compatibility section. Moreover we have a Live chat, where you can consult about the compatibility of your device. That is why the reason " My device is not compatible" does not suit our refund policy.
In case you have any further questions, please contact me directly.

We had the month to month subscription for the PC monitoring service. Everything worked ok for the most part and was capturing and updating as it should. Literally within 24 hours of extending the subscription for a year everything both the phone and pc monitoring stopped. We tried to uninstall and reinstall and it worked... for 1 hour and then everything stopped tracking once again. We have recently purchased new modem and router so we know our internet connection is secure and stable. Strongly disappointed and considering switching service to a different provider. Will request refund and if that isnt successful will simply dispute charges with my credit card company and file complaint with the BBB.
Dear Kristen,
Please contact me directly, I will take a look at it and make sure that your issue is solved in the shortest period of time.
Looking forward to your email.

In the modern world, which is full of violence and terror is very important to constantly monitor their children. This unique app mspy is a godsend for parents. It allows you to be aware of all movements of their children, helps alleviate their online activity not only from computers but also from mobile phones. Great app for all parents. In addition, this application helps supervisors to keep track of your irresponsible staff. Overall - a really unique application that is truly indispensable. Thank you for your support. And all this fun costs very little - just from 29$ a month.
I was really impressed by the offerings of the premium plan, so I signed for just one month to see what it was like... Well, I guess there's some real, real, real fine print somewhere that states (I found some of it after I paid - and then some BIG print that wasn't available before I paid, that stated the following) that the device does indeed still have to be jailbroken for so many of those services. The listing of services that it provides adds little "No-jailbreak" ads next to certain services, leading you to believe that you will have "special" access to the others that are not included in the basic plan. So, if you're looking to get onto Snapchat, etc., you have to jailbreak, and I'm not willing to. But they list Snapchat, so it completely appears like it will be included, no worries, in your premium plan. I saw a few more texts than I did on t33n$@fe, with their free trial, and that was about it... In addition, the lag is horrible. It's 11/4/2015. It hasn't even worked it's way out of 9/2015 yet and it's been hours. What a disappointment. If you just need to check out a few deleted texts and maybe a call log, just find a free trial. Bum software. :(
Hello Amy,
Thank you for your precise and sincere review.
From my side - a side of mSpy representative I would like to mention that our NO jailbreak service totally depends on iCloud back ups and it means that:
- mSpy updates once in 24 hours ONLY if the new back up was made on the target device;
- mSpy does not capture deleted messages, cause they are NOT being backed up on the target device itself:
- if there is not enough space in the iCloud storage - no back up can be made - mSpy can not transfer new info to your account, because there is no new info on the device itself;
- for the back up to be made on the device - it must be connected to the energy source, connected to Wi-Fi and screen must be locked.
All this can be avoided in the FULL mSpy version for jailbroken iPhones. We can help you with jailbreak as well, in case you need any assistance.
We are always trying to improve our services and more features will be added to our mSpy without jailbreak version in the nearest time!
I hope that my reply resolves your queries and in case you have any more questions please contact me directly,
Regards,
Veronica Jones

I used to install mSpy on my daughter's pc. It works fine. Not that I ever wanted to spy after my children, but I had some thoughts she could have taken drugs. Web could be a dangerous place, so I'd recommend it to all the caring parents.
Answer: Dear Julie, At the moment you can monitor Snapchat only on Android phones due to absence of jailbreak for the latest iOS versions.
Answer: Dear Vivian, You can install mSpy on Android phone without rooting. All you need is phone that you want to monitored in your hands and mSpy subscription. It will take around 5 minutes to install mSpy.
Answer: Hello Roops, Thank you for your question. It depends what target device you are using, with Androids and jailbroken iOS devices you can see all deleted messages after mSpy installation and with iOS without jailbreak deleted messages are not available. In case you have any more questions please contact us! Regards, MSpy team
Answer: Dear Zac, Thank you for your question! Please be informed that currently mSpy application is capable to fetch only messages and received media files from Instant Messengers such as Viber (messages, media files and call logs), Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Skype (messages and call logs). You may monitor Snapchat application as well - mSpy will fetch photos which are sent/received.

Dear Luciana,
I regret to hear that you had such a bad experience with our product. Be kindly informed that there are two types to install and use mSpy on iPhones: 1) Do it using iCloud credentials (it will give you updates once a day and this is the restriction made by Apple as it depends on iCloud backup, we can assure you that there is no existing service that can give you updates more often while using this type of connection), 2)Do a jailbreak on the device and install mSpy directly to the memory of the phone (in this case you can get updates every 20-30 minutes, but physical access to the device for the first installation is required). All this information is described on our website and our online agents are available 24/7 to provide this information to our customers.
We understand your frustration and will be glad to resolve your issue as soon as possible, please write me back to [email protected] and I will be happy to help you in any question.
Best Regards,
MSpy Team
