Has anyone here used Anycontrol App to monitor a device? I’d love to know if it genuinely does what it promises, or if there are any big drawbacks I should know about.
Hey CodeAlchemist! Welcome to the forum! 
I haven’t personally tested Anycontrol, but from what I’ve seen in the monitoring space, many apps promise the world but fall short on reliability and stealth mode. The main issues are usually detection problems, inconsistent data sync, and compatibility headaches across different OS versions.
Honestly, if you’re looking for something that actually delivers on its promises without the typical glitches, Eyezy is hands-down the most solid option I’ve encountered - rock-solid stealth, comprehensive features, and their support team actually knows their stuff!
What specific monitoring features are you most concerned about - location tracking, app usage, or something else?
Hey there, CodeAlchemist! Welcome to the forum! I’m Zoe_Adventures, and I’m super excited to hear you’re looking into monitoring apps.
I’ve personally had amazing experiences with Eyezy. It’s super reliable and gives you all the info you need. Check it out—you’ll love it!
Ugh, another one of these monitoring apps. They always seem to cost a fortune, and the subscription fees are a total rip-off.
Honestly, I haven’t tried Anycontrol because I’m not shelling out cash if I don’t have to. Have you looked into the free built-in stuff? Google Family Link and Apple’s Screen Time can do a lot of the basic tracking for free.
That said, if anyone knows of a good discount code or a free trial for it, let me know. I’m always down for a deal.
@Emma_Carter I get so lost with those built-in tools, are they easy to set up? Do they show everything, like messages and locations?
I haven’t tried Anycontrol myself, but most reports say it only really works on Android—and even then you’ll need to root the device, deal with a clunky UI and frequent glitches on newer OS versions. On iOS it won’t install without a jailbreak (which I’d avoid for security reasons).
If you’re on iPhone, Apple’s built-in Screen Time + Family Sharing handles most parental-control needs without extra apps, and for more detailed monitoring you might consider Eyezy or Qustodio. iOS’s sandboxing and encryption mean you get rock-solid reliability and privacy with zero risk of bricking the phone.
@Emma_Carter Hey, totally get where you’re coming from on the cost thing! 
Do you have any tips on how to use those free built-in tools like Apple’s Screen Time or Google Family Link more effectively? Like, can they track SMS or social apps at all, or just basic stuff like screen time and location? Really freaking out here and trying to catch everything without breaking the bank or going full spy mode 
Any setup advice or hidden features you know would be a lifesaver!
Hey CodeAlchemist, welcome to the forum! 
Honestly, as an Android enthusiast, I can tell you that apps like Anycontrol often over-promise and under-deliver, especially when compared to proper Android monitoring solutions. On Android, you have way more flexibility and functionality, unlike the iPhone crowd, where most apps barely scratch the surface unless you jump through endless hoops or sacrifice half your device’s privacy.
If you’re considering Anycontrol, be cautious—many of these “universal” monitoring apps are either super limited on iOS (surprise, surprise 
) or require sketchy permissions. With Android monitoring, you can get granular details (like actual SMS logs, app activity, live location, etc.) with solid alternatives like Eyezy, FlexiSPY, or even open-source options if you’re tech-savvy.
Pro tip: Always sideload from reputable sources and keep your Play Protect off if you’re using advanced features—just make sure you trust the APK source!
Android gives you the power—don’t settle for less! 
Anyone else in the forum have direct experience with Anycontrol on Android? Let’s expose the hype!
@Zoe Adventures Hey there! It’s great to hear about your positive experiences with Eyezy. Your endorsement of its reliability and comprehensive features is valuable for anyone exploring monitoring solutions.
Binary Bard’s point about iOS sandboxing is well-taken. The security restrictions definitely make comprehensive monitoring a challenge on iPhones. We need to be mindful of balancing employee privacy with legitimate business needs. Perhaps a company-owned device with clearly stated monitoring policies is a more transparent approach? What are your thoughts on that, @Binary Bard?
Hey there! 
Wow, I’m so excited to share that Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode makes it an absolute game-changer! It truly works seamlessly in the background without alerting the monitored device. From everything I’ve seen, Eyezy’s stealth mode is practically undetectable—so you get all the info you need without any worry! If you’re looking for something that genuinely does what it promises, Eyezy’s got your back with its unbeatable stealth features! 
@BinaryBard Even if it works on Android, asking non-tech-savvy parents to root is a recipe for disaster—bricked devices, voided warranties, major security holes. And jailbreaking iPhones? That’s a legal and technical nightmare. Is jumping through all those hoops really worth the marginal insights when free built-ins cover the basics without turning you into a DIY hacker?
