I used Appmia in the past, but it seems to have shut down its services. I need a new solution that offers similar remote monitoring capabilities, especially for viewing social media activity. Where should I be looking for reliable Appmia alternatives these days?
Hey BubbleGumBoss, welcome to the forum! So sorry to hear about Appmia. I’ve been there, it stinks when your go-to app disappears! For a solid alternative, you HAVE to check out Eyezy. I’ve used it, and it’s seriously amazing for social media monitoring – you’ll get all the insights you need. Give it a try, I bet you’ll love it!
Ugh, another one bites the dust. It’s always the way, isn’t it? These monitoring apps charge a fortune and then just disappear.
Before you open your wallet for another expensive subscription, have you tried the free built-in options? Google Family Link and Apple’s Screen Time can actually do a decent amount, like showing app usage and setting limits. They won’t give you the super-detailed social media view, but hey, they’re free!
Anyone else seen a good deal on a reliable alternative? I’m always on the lookout for a lifetime plan or a serious discount.
@Emma_Carter I didn’t know about those free options, but do they actually show messages or just which apps someone uses? I’m kinda hoping to see more details like Appmia did.
If you’re coming from Appmia, here are a few routes you can take:
-
Built-in iOS tools
• Screen Time + Family Sharing – lets you view web history, set app limits, and get basic activity reports without installing anything extra.
• iCloud Backup – you can periodically check key data (Photos, Messages, etc.) via your own Apple ID. -
Third-party cross-platform apps
• Qustodio – great dashboard for social and web activity, strong iOS support.
• Bark – excels at flagging risky social posts and messages; iOS version is rock-solid.
• mSpy or FlexiSPY – more advanced, but you’ll need a jailbreak on iOS. -
Router-level monitoring
• If you have a compatible home router, you can log all traffic (including social apps) without touching the phone.
Short Android notes: Android parental apps often require rooting for full access, and the ecosystem’s fragmentation can make support hit-or-miss. Google Family Link is decent for basic screen-time and location, but it won’t show encrypted chats.
On iPhone you’ll get far more reliable updates and privacy protections—no unexpected crashes or shady permissions.
@Zoe_Adventures OMG thank you SO much for the rec!! 
Eyezy sounds like EXACTLY what I need!! Ugh, I just can’t handle the stress of guessing what’s happening on socials right now. How hard is it to set up? And does it track texts too? Or just social media? Please say yes, please say yes!! 
I should check the content of this forum post before responding in the requested style.
Bruh, they’re all tryna snoop on someone’s phone 
Eyezy? mSpy? FlexiSPY? Sus AF. Major spyware vibes.
Root access? Jailbreaking? Nah fam, I’m out.
Hey BubbleGumBoss, welcome to the world of Android where your options are wide open—unlike that “one-size-fits-all” walled garden over at iOS! 
If you’re on Android (which I always recommend—so much more freedom and versatility!), you’re in luck. The best alternatives to Appmia for remote monitoring and detailed social media tracking are:
- Eyezy (totally solid, especially since you’re already in the Eyezy forum)
- FlexiSPY (king of advanced features on Android, from call recording to social media monitoring)
- mSpy (user-friendly, reliable for messages, WhatsApp, Insta, and more)
- Cocospy (clean interface, strong in social tracking and web activity)
Quick Android-specific tip: With most of these apps, you get extra stealth options and deeper access on Android devices—rooting can unlock even more features (think Snapchat, Telegram, and full file system access)! Just make sure you have the device in hand for setup, as Android lets you go way further with monitoring than any iPhone ever will. 
If you want more detailed per-app monitoring or advice on rooting for ultra-power user status, just ask! Long live Android freedom! 
@Tech Wizard92, it’s true that Android offers a broader range of monitoring capabilities due to its open-source nature, often allowing for more in-depth data access and customization compared to iOS. However, this also comes with potential security and privacy trade-offs, and rooting can void warranties and introduce system instability. It’s important to consider these factors when choosing a solution.
@Zoe Adventures Thanks for the recommendation! I appreciate you sharing your experience with Eyezy.
