Mspy appears to be dropping incoming text messages, not logging every text message sent, and its geolocate is awful. It seems to only work when it feels like it. Im going to try another service. Oh and My Bank's fraud unit called me about buying this service because their records show the site had been jacked.
We bought two premium accounts costing us 400 dollars in total only to find out that the recording calls application was canceled without any alerts that this was going to happen so all our recorded calls were gone and we would not get a refund and i am frurious that i spent hard earned money over this product and i would not get my money back i would not reccomend this product to anyone stay away from this any review giving it a rating higher than 3 stars is a liar.
So today I find out that without telling customers, mSpy has done away with call recordings and surroundings recordings.
I was STUPID enough to pay for a full year of monitoring and after not even three months of service, they do this. And all they offered in return for this was to extend my contract for a month or two?!
I will go everywhere I can to warn people about this company. The refund policies don't address this issue of the customer's rights regarding the suspension of major services and it was made very clear to me on the phone we are S. O. L. When it comes to mSpy.
I don't care they were involved in a lawsuit - just like they don't care they've taken a lot of your hard-earned money and not held up their end of the agreement. What's next to go?
Thieves.
So... THANKS, mSpy, for taking my hundreds of dollars in advance, then throwing out the most important features, including decent customer care.
Do not expect any refund. Doesn't matter your reason for refund they will tell you "you are not eligible for requested refund".

Please send me an email with the details of your order and i'll review the case in more detail.

Mspy is average. 3 features work and are fully functional. He first one is, you can see a call log of all incoming and outgoing phone calls on the target phone. Second, you can also read all text messages that come in and out of the phone. And third, you an see the Internet browsing history.
I called tech support because blocked numbers on the target phone were basically going state to voicemail. That is not a blocked call. The rep, then clarified that mspy only restricts calls. That does not guarantee that your children are safe or the you are protecting them. Kids leave voicemails for each other. Those you cannot hear. Next feature that doesn't work is, call recording. Mspy says they do it, but the files don't download. When I called tech support, they informed me that call and environment recording is down. Ok... so... why did I pay for it? Also, GPS locator does not work. My map always shows my own location, but never the target phones.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
We do understand your concerns and we’re terribly sorry for any inconveniences caused by our side.
Please be informed that this is the way in which Restrict Incoming Calls feature works. When the phone number to be restricted is entered in your Control Panel and the command is applied, the target device will simply not get incoming calls. The caller should hear a busy line and the call should not be transferred automatically to voicemail. It is possible that the carrier's settings work in such way that the busy line is automatically transferred to voicemail. By this time there is no way to block a phone number completely and prevent any activities with it.
Since the focus of our work has always been the quality of the proposed services, we have disabled the recording functions. Currently it is not technically possible to make the recordings feaures run correctly on the presently available range of different devices. Please be also informed that we have recently added new options without price change: SnapChat and Geo Fencing. At this time we do not support call recordings and surrounding recordings. The price for mSpy subscription remains the same.
Please be informed as well that the Location feature (as well as all other features) determines the position of the target device only in case the application is installed on the phone you want to monitor (not on your personal phone). Once installed, mSpy should receive all permissions of the device in order to get the location. Please provide us with your Customer ID so we could investigate on your case thoroughly.
We'll be more than happy to talk to you to discuss everything in person. Please, provide me with your email address so that we can allocate your account and proceed further on
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Margaret

Father looking to keep tabs on my son. Purchased it only to find out that I have to Jailbreak my sons Iphone. My mistake for not seeing the small print disclaimer on the bottom of the on the second page. Discovered my "mistake" within 30 seconds of purchasing and tried to get a refund via their 800 number. They said I would have to request the refund in writing, which I did. Two day later they responded with a surprising "NO". Luckily I used my Am Ex and disputed it the minute I got off the phone the first day.
Mspy was nice enough to offer their software to me at a 40% discount after my email to them voicing my displeasure. "no refund, but we will offer you a discount on something you will never use". What a deal!
I have received two more emails asking for payment since my Am Ex stopped the payment. Right... let me get right on that.
If they are not hiding anything (excuse the pun) then print the fact about Jailbreaking on the front page and not the bottom of the order page.
Out of 577 whatsapp messages over 36 hours exactly 10 (TEN) were logged. That is 1.73%. I was fed the BULLSH! T line that I have to give it more time (how much really?), poorinternet connection (wifi and 3G+) etc.
The software is RUBBISH!
I regreted so much that I attempted twice to use mspy since it failed me once in my first subscription. The software doesn't update its data accurately nor does it regularly. After using it for a day, the system is disconnected from my target device. When I emailed for solution, I was advised to reinstall the software. What the hell, how could I get the phone back for hours to reinstall as I had given it out as a gift to my bf. Mspy rejected my request of refund because I had my first subscription refunded. Well, none of them have ever worked to be honest.
Instead, I have tried Flexispy, its not perfect but pretty reliable.
Mspy is rubbish and a waste of my time and money.
I used mspy for 6 months. On one of my phones. In the first 6 months the phone bill was $5,600.00 0ver 200 gbs of information. Unless you have a unlimited internet plan I would not recommend its use.
This program is easy to uninstall, easy trace more if the phone is rooted. If there is an update it stops working, They don't do refunds even within the 10 day period. If the person you want to track knows how to go to apps manager BOOM uninstall. I recommend to only buy it for a month and see if the person you want to track doesn't realize it. At least you won't loose as much money. BECAUSE THEY WON'T DO REFUNDS.
Dear Johanna L,
Thank you for placing your review.
Please be advised that our company accepts refund requests submitted within 10 days from the day of placing the order. The reason of refund should comply with the refund policy of our website available by the following link:
http://www.mspy.com/refund_policy.html
Our customers’ opinions are valuable for us, that is why even if the case in non-refundable according to the policy, we try to provide the customer with suitable offers. In most cases a refund is not being issued as we do not receive a feedback from the customer regarding our suggestions. We are always ready to negotiate until both sides reach an acceptable solution.
Therefore we would recommend you to contact us again by sending an e-mail to [email protected]

With everything out there today, we were hesitant to give our child a phone. However, we as parents, know that technology is now a part of daily life. We wanted something that would track her location and let us know that she wasn't receiving anything bad in texts on her phone. MSpy does just the trick. We are at ease knowing that we can check in on her without her feeling annoyed at our concerns. Thanks mSpy!
You are right. It is fake. It doesn't work, even though a top IT tech friend and I, both installed it correctly. Mspy told me my daughter would have updated her phone and that is why it is not working and I need to reload, but this is definitely not true. They won't refund either, even though it has only worked when I tried it first. It's fake. Don't bother. It needs they internet access to be on. Don't buy it.
I purchased this product to monitor my daughter's phone. I only then found out that the Iphone 5S 7. 1. 1 is not supported. I immediately asked for a refund, and after talking to several people they all have refused. So now I'm stuck with a program I can't use. There website say's that Iphone is supported, I call this false advertising. Most phones have to be jail broken, so be sure you know how to do it before you buy the product. Worse purchase I ever made!
Installed on daughters phone (believe boyfriend dealing drugs). Got correct initial location yesterday, unable to get a newer one since. Called "24/7 Tech Support" 800 number, got recording saying no one available to answer the phone. Tried Tech Support web page twice and got "Server Error" page. I should known better with the spelling and grammatical errors on their site. Glad I only got one month subscription (unless they steal my credit card blind, too). STAY AWAY!
I have tried the app and I’m a bit disappointed. The updates for one take ages to come through if they do at all. I sent test messages on Whatsapp to the target phone and this didn’t show up for hours. When I contacted their customer support they gave me instructions with a “secret” text message to refresh the app on the phone. This “secret ” message is not supposed to be visible on the target phone. Mine were all visible…more than 8 messages with the code. After a while-8 hours the messages just disappeared from the target phone(so good for stealth). They say that the phone has to be connected to WiFi…I am sure that the target phone is connected to WiFi. I think it’s a rip off
I have used mSpy for about 3 months now with limited success.
I find that the application stops working and must be reloaded several times a week.
It misses some calls as well as txt messages.
The call log feature has not worked since day one.
Their tec support is almost non existent. The phone support is 24 hour and they will be happy to tell you to reload the app. But that is about all the phone support can do for you.
It is impossible to speak with anyone that can help with a problem.
All communications must be done by e mail. At some point they will tell you that everything is working properly even when you and the people at phone support can clearly see the product has failed to provide the promised service.THE PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED. But it does work some if you have the time and patience to fiddle with it every day.
Biggest piece of $#*! spy app ever. Hit and miss on uploading call recordings. Will not track phone with gps turned off, unlike what they claim. Wish I would have found this site before I purchased. Can only hear one side of the calls that do upload, ect, ect.
Junk Period
A plethora of fake reviews can't save these people. Software often doesn't work and they will not give you a refund, whatever they promise on the site.
I had to call credit card company to get a refund.
Mspy has been hacked. All customers compromised.
If you are using this software on a device your data is already out there, this could mean your child's data (iCloud username and password from MCloud) could fall in to the wrong hands.
They need to be made accountable for this. So far they are lying to customers saying nothing is wrong or blaming competitors.
Judge for yourself:

Demand an answer now from Mspy, get your money back and stay safe.
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.

Thank you for choosing mSpy! We would like to apologize for any troubles caused. I have previously requested for your account ID to further investigate on this matter. Let me than explain how the application works.
MSpy application is able to fetch text messages only in case they were kept on the target device for at least 2 minutes. This is required since mSpy scans the target device every minute and checks whether sensors have any updates. Unfortunately, in case the text message was deleted just right after received / sent, there is a big chance that it will not be fetched. Geo Fencing feature depends on the accuracy of Location Services on the target device so there is no way that mSpy can have an impact on it. In case location was tracked not accurately (for example by using Cell ID determination method) the mentioned feature will react according to the fetched Locations data.
Please, provide me with your email address/account ID so that i can assist.
Best regards,
Margaret
