Wish I'd Found It Sooner
March 28, 2024

I suspected my spouse was cheating but had no proof. Thanks to mSpy, I can see the Tinder app and chat about evening meetings. Tough situation, but mSpy helped me get the closure I needed.

Must-have
March 28, 2024

With three kids who are constantly glued to their phones, I was worried about their online activity and who they were talking to. MSpy allows me to monitor their text messages and calls so I can keep them safe.

Being in a long-distance relationship can be a challenge, but mSpy makes it a breeze to stay connected. We rely on the app's call recording feature to replay our chats and feel like we're side by side once more. Plus, it's handy for tracking each other's whereabouts for those surprise visits!

No more cyberbullying!
March 28, 2024

My daughter was getting bullied at school by her so-called friends. I was puzzled about why she didn't want to go to school anymore and why she was always crying. I tried mSpy and was shocked by the mean things they said to her. Now I keep tabs on her messages to know what's happening.

Do not believe what is written. I do not recommend it at all. Even if you pay 1 euro it's a waste. I actually regret paying even 1 cent.

Tracking cellphones and getting an accurate report has been a bit worrisome, thanks to shifttox_cod on instagram whose service helped me locate certain cellphones without breaking a sweat. His service made me know that the internet has become the most common method of cheating nowadays, either emotionally or physically. Taking a few extra steps in getting what would serve as proof for leaving a toxic relationship, to see who your spouse texts or chats with on social media isn't a bad idea, I'd recommend you reach out shifttox_cod on instagram.

Bait and Switch
March 19, 2024

Updated: Advertised as Parentaler then email came in under mSpy. I specifically stayed away from mSpy due to the negative reviews. I tried the software anyway on my iPhone but it did not work as advertised, you have to plug in the phone or use a phone that is not locked. This software is not what we were paying for or advertised. I tried and tried with customer service to get a simple refund. I stopped the auto renew. Then was told they would "pause" service. This does me no service because I have no use for it. I was offered another 3 months...again...it does not work. I just want a refund for a software I cannot use and a software that was not performing per advertised. I was also pointed to the cancelation rules that I explained to them when I purchased I was under the impression I was purchasing under parentaler, not mSpy and I did not change my mind as they kept assuming, the product is not working as advertised. In fact I was trying to log in today to get an accurate account number and it would not even log in. Going to live chat with your tech support department is of no help. I have several emails from your company telling me that they agree this product does not work with my iphone. I would have to unlock it first. I cannot do that. I also was not intending on plugging in the phone to the computer each time I needed to read the messages, as it was advertised you would not have to...again, your tech department stated they could not help. I will post where I can how crooked you are and how you bait and switch your products until I get my money back. Every public internet site I can find you advertise on I will warn every user.

Just don't
March 17, 2024

The picture the homepage of their website depicts a cellphone screen showing mapping, messages, etc. when in reality you need to use a laptop to see the bulk of the info most parents would be looking for. That laptop also needs to be connected to the same wifi as the phone mspy is on, so if the phone is being used in a different location as the laptop, you want get realtime information. I requested a refund within hours of purchase - it's been days and I haven't heard a thing. Save your money and find a different product.

Dear Brittany,

It's disappointing to hear about your experience with mSpy not meeting your expectations. It's important for consumers to have accurate information about the functionality of a product before making a purchase decision, and it sounds like there was a disconnect between the advertised features and the actual usability of the software.

Requesting a refund shortly after purchase and not receiving a response for days can be frustrating, especially when you're seeking resolution to a problem. If you haven't already, I recommend reaching out to mSpy's customer support team again to follow up on your refund request and express your dissatisfaction with the product.

In the meantime, it might be beneficial to explore alternative monitoring solutions that better align with your needs and expectations. There are many parental control and monitoring apps available on the market, so it's worth researching and comparing options to find one that suits your requirements.

If you continue to encounter difficulties or have any further questions, don't hesitate to reach out for assistance. I hope you're able to resolve this issue satisfactorily and find a solution that works for you.

Some of the worst customer service I've ever received. They take days, sometimes a week to respond. You cannot call and talk to a live person. They only offer chat that you have to schedule. The app doesn't do what they advertise. I spent over $300 and they have refused to refund me even after following all their instructions. Do NOT buy!

Fraud
March 11, 2024

The app monitored practically nothing, on a IPhone 11.
100 Euro just stolen.
Difficult to contact an operator.
I think they have many positive feedbacks because they have employees doing that.
It's the only explanation I can find.

No refund
March 6, 2024

Paid for the application to use it that particular moment. Finally after talking with 3 differennt people the app was activated after 3-4 days. I asked for a refund because it was not my fault the delay of activation but they refused. I have all the emails of communication with those idiots if someone wants proof.

I purchased their product on an annual license. When I installed it in the device I wanted to monitor, I quickly found out that the WhatsApp messages can only be retrieved if you plug the phone via cable to a computer. This has also been confirmed by their support department.

There is no information at all about this in their website. None. I asked for a full refund, and they won't give it to me. Pretty $#*!ty experience. They'll never have me as a customer again.

After installing the app, the app lagged, took over 24 hours to update and most times I didn't recieve updates to sms, and social media. When I did get messages, they were repeated and out of order. I contacted support and was told to Uninstall then reinstall the app. This was needed several times. I was also instructed to send the target phone a message that has ******* to refresh the app. All of this was needed and the app continued to get delayed, repeated messages. And most times no updates at all. I paid for 3 months and was able to use the app successfully for a week. Support told me I could not get a refund but I could just freeze the account until I was ready to use it again. They could do nothing for the bad service or to fix the issue.
