FlexiSpy Overview
This software comes with a wide range of different features, but it’s best parts have been listed below. Flexispy focuses on three different pillars – child protection/parental control, employee monitoring and relationship spy.
- Monitor all messages – find out what is being said to or by your child, significant other or employees. Text messages, IM messages FlexiSpy has an impressive list of message monitoring.
- Track Location – Track the location of those you are monitoring 24/7 through the advanced user friendly monitoring dashboard.
- Alerts – SIM card change alerts, contact alerts and more.
- Save and keep logs – Keep track of everything said and done by employees, children, or partners and those they are communicating with incredibly easily via the dashboard controls.
Benefits
There are many benefits to using Flexispy, and in this review we take a look at the benefits provided for the three main pillars we discussed previously.
Parental benefits – Smartphones and tablets are great pieces of technology, but they give our children access to a wide world of dangers and troubles that your children may not understand how to avoid. Giving your child untethered access to internet and instant messaging is almost like sending them out on their own into the big wide world, but with parental controls and monitoring you can make sure that everything is contained within a safe environment.
Business benefits – Hiring employees can be a very expensive process, and without monitoring their smartphone activity there is no way of knowing how much time (and money) they are wasting on the job by visiting websites or messaging friends and family from their phone whilst working. By monitoring their smartphone activity you can keep track of who is sticking to their work and who isn’t.
The Features
There are many great features packed into this phone monitoring software that make it a strong competitor against today’s top alternatives.
Call Monitoring
If you are unsure what communication is being had between your child or employer, a simple call monitoring tool can be used to track their call logs for ingoing and outgoing calls. Track time stamps and monitor when and where calls are being taken.
Text Message Monitoring
Like many phone monitoring suites, this software does come with extensive text monitoring. Monitor sent and received SMS messages, archive texts and browse through all messages sent in the past.
An interesting addition to this is the delete SMS function. You can actually delete incoming messages that include specific keywords that you have specified. This can be a great way to keep your child safe and not even let them receive harmful incoming messages.
Instant Messaging – 13 of Them
As well as a strong, reliably text monitoring tool, this software has a range of instant message monitoring tools to give you all the details on the messages being sent outside of the message app. Many people have dropped sending texts to use free IM apps, so a decent instant message monitor service should be a part of every good smartphone monitoring app.
We have not seen any other monitoring software offer to monitor 13 IM chats. FlexiSpy let you monitor the following IM (Instant Messages) chats:
- Facebook / Facebook Messenger
- Viber
- Skype
- iMessage
- BBM
- Blackberry PIN
- Yahoo Messenger
- Snapchat
- Hangouts
- Line
Location and GPS Data
If your child or employer is acting up, keep track of their location data – see their previous locations and take a look at where they are right now.
You can also set location boundaries. This means that if your child leave a safe zone that you will get notified. This can be great if you want to keep your child safe after school for example, you will immediately get notified if she leaves the safe area.
Multimedia Files
Another area that you might want to be able to keep an eye on, is the multimedia files, like pictures and videos. You don`t want, what seem like innocent pictures, to get into the wrong hands. You also want to be able to protect your child from receiving inappropriate pictures.
FlexiSpy will allow you to not only monitor images and video files but audio files as well.
Monitor Internet Use
With FlexiSpy you will be able to see all websites visited, get the time and the data of each visit. You can also see all websites bookmarked on the device.
Is your child visiting inappropriate websites? FlexiSpy will help you find out.
Alert Settings
FlexiSpy will allow you to monitor and set alerts. There are a few different alert settings that can be used.
SIM change alert – if the SIM card is changed you will get an alert.
Call notification – get a notification when a specific call is made.
Keywords – you can set keywords in text messages, IM and emails to alert you when being used.
Location – set alerts when certain areas are visited.
Expansive Dashboard
The expansive dashboard that comes alongside this software has over 150 different tools, some of which have already been suggested. Whilst others are available on other services, the large majority of them are unique to this software.
Unique FlexiSpy Features
There are a few things that no other monitoring software on the market offers these are call interception and recording, room ambiance recording (covert activation of mic and camera).
Listen In on Calls (Included in the Extreme Version)
As an example, with this software you can listen in to calls in real time to see what is being said instead of a conversation. If call logs aren’t giving a good enough picture, you can easily listen to calls to get information that would otherwise not be shared through messages or call logs.
Other features included in the Extreme Version:
- Control Microphone and Camera
- Spoofing Tools
- Password Cracker
Why FlexiSpy Is Worth Picking Up
If you are serious about using the very best mobile monitoring software out there, this software is definitely at the top, and it’s feature packed dashboard easily sets it apart from many other competitors.
Whilst lots of other services do offer similar tools to this software, you’ll find it very difficult to find a dashboard that is as streamlined and effective as the one found within the software we are reviewing today.
There is no doubt that this software provides incredibly easy tools that anybody can get to grips with, and it still has a wide range of other tools that make it one of the most feature-filled solutions currently available today.
What Is Missing?
Feature wise the only thing that we can possibly point out is the lack of some parental control tools. To be able to block websites and some apps for example.
Phone number on their website, we do miss that.
