The Flexispy spy software app has been around for a while,but it still has a few new tricks up its sleeves,especially due to the suspension of StealthGenie. Flexispy used to be the more expensive software out there,but now it’s priced more to compete with other programs.
Plus,since many rival programs have dropped their recording features,Flexispy is becoming more noticed. However,is it worth the money? How safe is it? First,we need to look at the site itself.
Flexispy Monitoring
The website now has a more premium feel to it,but it’s not simply another coat of paint. What’s more important is the new Control Center. For those who don’t know,this is the main hub where you login and view your account. While it looks great and gives you a professional feeling,the functions of the Control Center sets it apart.
It’s very easy for anyone to pick up,and has everything in front of you to use. You can see reports and alerts easily,and commands are easy to implement and figure out. It’s no longer complex,and you don’t need a detailed walkthrough just to find a few functions.
Below you’ll find my review of the FlexiSPY app and if you still have any questions you can check out a great Flexispy FAQ page at Acisni.
Phones and Devices That Are Compatible
Any Android phone can be looked at,as well as tablets that have Internet access. iOS devices can be monitored,and so can Blackberry and Nokia Symbian phones. You must remember that these devices have to access the Internet somehow,and the OS needs supporting. If you want to install spyware on Apple devices,you must jailbreak them first. Right now,here’s the list.
- Android Phones and Tablets â all versions
- iOS devicesâ up to iOS 9.1
- BlackBerry â to version 7.1
- Nokia Symbian â Anna and Belle based.
Depending on the device,some of the features are only available for certain types,so you need to check beforehand and make sure your device carries the features you need. A good example is that if you want to record a call,it’s only for Androids that have been rooted.
Standard Features of Flexispy
There are two packages to choose from. There’s the premium version that’s cheaper,and then the Extreme version that has everything. On their website,you can see which package has which feature,so you can decide what you need beforehand.
For the normal features,it has the typical stuff such as call logs,email,GPS locations,IM chat logs,pictures,videos,audio,contacts,Internet history,social sites,and bookmarks.
Social Media That Can Be Monitored
SnapChat,iMessage,BB Pin and Messenger,Yahoo! Messenger,Hangouts,Skype,WeChat,WhatsApp,Line,Viber,Facebook,and Facebook Messenger. These will be updated,and you need to check and see if your phone type covers the services you need.
Advanced Features-
- Live Call Listening
- Actual Call Recording
- Ambient Recording â pick up the surrounds of your phone
These features are only from FlexiSpy. Because of Stealthgenie and its lawsuit,no other provider does these features. Since Flexispy is outside the US,they don’t have to worry about being forced to remove these features. However,you need to remember that you still can’t use their software for illegal monitoring.
How Does it Work?
Most features do work. Recording on a rooted Android is good if its connection is decent. If the phone has poor reception,it may only record part of the conversation.
Call Intercept -This adds your phone to a conversation between two people and mutes it so you can just listen. It only works for carries that allow three way calling,so research beforehand. It’s great for business and for parents.
Misc. Features
- Alerts/Keywords-You can send alerts to your phone and email for certain numbers or keywords.
- Update Remotely-You never need to access the target device once Flexispy has been installed.
- App Blocker-You can close and uninstall apps on the monitored device.
- Update and Upgrade Remotely â once Flexispy has been installed,you never need to access the target device again. You can upgrade,remove features,and do whatever without losing your monitoring.
- Password Cracker â You can buy this on the website,or it’s included with the Extreme package. This records all passwords and other login details entered on the device. It even records the password so you can unlock the phone,but you need to install the software on it before you do that.
- Advanced Tracking â this allows you to see the location of your device on a live map anytime. You can also see locations that the device has been to over a time period,and even get alerts if a device enters a certain place. Setup is a cinch.
With all these features,you may want to know about the prices.
FlexiSpy Prices
Both are one year subscriptions. As of this article,no short term package is available yet. The Premium is $149,and the Extreme is $349. Premium is a good value for the competition,and the Extreme version,while price,is the only software that can record calls. If you have to have recording,you need to pay up. It all depends on what you need. Also,there are no taxes or other hidden fees.
Why You Should Buy This
The advanced features make this alone,but there are other reasons you should purchase Flexispy.
-It’s hard to detect. You can almost be guaranteed that no one will find the software on your phone. You can even hide the jailbroken/rooted apps that appear once that device has been rooted or jailbroken. It won’t show up on your task manager,and it doesn’t get detected by antivirus programs either.
-It’s user-friendly,which means that anyone can pick it up and use it. Installation is easy and there is a wizard that guides you through the process. The competition can be difficult to install for a lot of people,so FlexiSpy helps with those who may not be the most literate with computers.
-Licenses are transferable. Say your target device goes from iPhone to Android. All you need to do is deactivate one and transfer it to the other phone so you can keep tracking it. It’s cross platform,unlike some that make you stick with a device from the same operating system.
Support and Customer Service
So how is the support when it comes to Flexispy? Surprisingly,they’re known for having good customer service. For six days a week,they have 24 hour live support,which is uncommon for many. Besides that,their site has many tips,tricks,and resources so you can figure out the software. They include tutorials,even from video. This means that you can see everything and look at how the program works before making your decision.
Refund-If you’re not satisfied,you can get a full refund up to ten days after purchase. This means you can try it and not have to worry about the program not being your thing.
Language Support: The site is available in plenty of languages,including English,Espanol,Russian,Italian,Turkish,Chinese,Thai,Portuguese,and Deutsch.
Overall
Flexispy’s monitoring software is a high recommendation,however,you need to purchase wisely. If you don’t need to record calls,you shouldn’t blow money on the Extreme package. However,if you need advanced recording software,it’s the only software on the market that does it.
If you just need it for standard monitoring,there are other programs that do it like Flexispy,including mSpy and MobileSpy. They all cost about the same and have different features. Check them all out and decide for yourself. Have a good look at the mSpy app FAQ here at AcisNI before making any decision.
And remember: you need to make sure that you’re monitoring with respect to your laws. Since Flexispy is not US based,you don’t have to worry about it getting shut down. However,monitoring illegally is a very serious crime,and you can be in hot water if you don’t play it smart.
If you’re a parent,it’s a legal way for you to see what your children are up to. If you’re a boss and need to monitor work phones,it’s great. Since those phones are your property,you can do whatever you want. However,respect other people’s property and don’t monitor those. Play it safe,and you can reap many benefits of Flexispy. So try it out today and get monitoring.
