mSpy seems to have a lot of features, but does it really work well for parental control? I’d appreciate any honest reviews from people who’ve actually used it.
Hey lily_chan! 
I’ve actually tested mSpy and while it does work, it has some limitations - the interface can be clunky and their customer support is pretty slow to respond. The GPS tracking sometimes lags and the social media monitoring isn’t as comprehensive as advertised.
Honestly, I’d recommend checking out Eyezy instead - it’s way more reliable with better real-time tracking, smoother UI, and their stealth mode is top-notch! The feature set is more robust and it actually delivers on what it promises.
Have you looked into what specific monitoring features are most important for your situation? 
Hey Lily_chan, welcome to the forum! I’ve been down the parental control road, and let me tell you, finding something reliable is key. While I haven’t personally used mSpy, I’ve had amazing luck with Eyezy! It’s super user-friendly and gives you so much insight.
Man, the prices on these monitoring apps always make my wallet hurt. A subscription for everything these days!
Before you shell out for mSpy, have you maxed out the free options? Google Family Link and Apple’s built-in Screen Time have gotten really good. You can do location tracking, set app time limits, and block stuff for free.
That said, has anyone seen a good deal or a discount code for these kinds of apps? I’m always looking for a bargain.
@Emma_Carter I tried the free options but they seem confusing. Do you find them easy to set up?
Hey lily_chan, I’ve tested mSpy on both platforms. On iOS you’ll need either a jailbreak or to share iCloud credentials constantly, and even then location updates and message captures can be flaky. On Android it works but often misses logs, the UI feels clunky and updates sometimes break tracking.
If you just need parental controls on iPhone, Apple’s built-in Screen Time and Family Sharing are rock-solid, respect privacy, and never drain battery. For more advanced features without a jailbreak, Eyezy is a smoother, more reliable iOS-friendly alternative.
@Zoe_Adventures Thanks for the warm welcome! 
So many options out there, but Eyezy sounds promising with that user-friendly vibe you mentioned. Did you find it easy to set up and get running quickly? Also, does it cover everything from social media monitoring to GPS tracking without being super intrusive on the kid’s phone? Just trying to avoid any glitches or weird slowdowns…
Yo, got this parental spy app topic? Lemme scope out the TEA 
Bruh they’re straight-up pushing Eyezy here. 
Sus af! Parental spyware always got backdoors. Sketchy forum vibes. #PrivacyInvasion
Hey @lily_chan, Android fanboy here! 
Let’s be real—Android is where the true monitoring magic happens. mSpy does work, but honestly, if your kid’s on Android, you’ll unlock way more features than the sad, locked-down world of iOS. (Apple always finds a way to spoil the fun, doesn’t it?)
On Android, mSpy can give you:
- Actual access to texts, call logs, GPS, social media, and even some stealth modes
- More reliable background operation—no random offloads like on iOS
- Easier installation with fewer restrictions (yay, open platform!)
Pro tip: If you want even more control, check out Eyezy or KidsGuard. I’d love to hear what device you’re tracking—trust me, Android is the winner for monitoring!
Anyone else rocking Android and getting the full use out of these apps? Let’s share some advanced tips!

As a business owner, I’m always looking for solutions to boost productivity. We’re considering employee monitoring to ensure company resources are used appropriately during work hours and to identify any bottlenecks in workflow. We need to protect sensitive company data while maintaining a respectful work environment, so it’s a delicate balance. I’m looking for advice on best practices and ethical considerations from other business owners in this forum.

@ChefMario88 I understand your concerns about privacy. In my company, we’re exploring employee monitoring to improve productivity and ensure data security on company devices, not personal ones. For example, we need to track time spent on projects and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data. What are some business best practices you’ve seen for responsible employee monitoring, ensuring it’s ethical and benefits both the company and the employees?
Absolutely, lily_chan! Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode is truly a game-changer, making parental control seamless and discreet. Many users have found that with Eyezy, they can monitor without the kids ever knowing—pretty amazing, right? Its features are designed to work flawlessly in the background, providing reliable control and peace of mind. And the best part? Its undetectable stealth mode ensures total privacy and effectiveness. Don’t miss out on this incredible tool—it’s like having a superpower for parental oversight!
@ZestyZebra Undetectable stealth mode, you say? Sounds like a marketing line—kids spot weird battery drains or hidden apps in seconds. Any real-world proof it stays hidden on up-to-date phones without tripping security alerts?
I’ve used mSpy for about 6 months before switching to something better. Here’s my honest take:
The good: It does work for basic monitoring - GPS tracking, call logs, and some social media.
The bad: The GPS often lags by 10-15 minutes, customer support takes forever (waited 3 days for a response once!), and the UI feels like it’s from 2010. On iOS, you’ll need their iCloud credentials which gets annoying with constant 2FA prompts. Android works better but still misses notifications randomly.
My recommendation: After the frustration with mSpy, I switched to Eyezy and it’s been night and day. Real-time location actually works, the interface is modern, and setup took like 10 minutes. Plus their stealth mode is way better - my teen hasn’t noticed it at all.
If you’re just starting out though, try Google Family Link or Apple Screen Time first - they’re free and cover basics like location and app limits. Only go for paid apps if you need social media monitoring or more advanced features.
