Bad experience

Purchased an one year mSpy Extreme plan a few days ago and would like to share my experience.

Relatively easy to install but the (BIG) problem is that, once installed it overrides completely the existing parental control setting on my kid's iphone. With my package included is the advanced tech support but after contacting them I was told indeed the app will interfere other parental control and they can't co-exist. We had to contact Apple multiple times for troubleshooting and eventually performed reset so we can reinstall the parental control as it is critical to us.

Left with no options and we contacted the billing department for a cancellation and refund as it is well within the 14 days cancellation policy. The request was rejected and the experience was on par with the app itself. I was offered a "free" upgrade to mAssistant which I already paid for with my subscription. Then they offered a free extension for the subscription but it is not even working, why do I need any further extension?

Told them they should have made the disclosure/warning so potential buyers are aware of the limitation which I think would concern others as well hence sharing. The feedback was, you can imagine "you agreed to the T&Cs when you made the purchase", big mistake.

App did not work

App did not work, when I requested a refund, they suggested I pay more money to get tech support, I requested refund and they are refusing, day 2, their only option for correcting was them remote accessing my devices, with no guarranty.

Using it to keep an eye on my daughter’s activity. Location history helps a lot when she goes out with friends. No big problems so far after two months.

I just signed up less than half an hour ago. And downloading the installer gave a message that it contained a virus. When i clicked on the hyperlink I needed to log into my account. I filled in what was needed, Used the password that had been assigned to me 15 minutes before (copy paste, typed it) and it said that these weren't correct. And when I asked for a new password I get no message ..... Feels like a scam.

Product doesn't work

Product doesn't work, you won't get a refund. Really no tech support. They just tell you to wait 24 hours each time. It's horrible, run far away.

I wish there was an alternative to the product.

I have reached out to support many times. Worthless.

Scam!! Watch your charges

Scam. Shows messages from 2023 even though the phone is active and messaging right now. I have literally been testing it.

Update.
All their support is ai run by zendesk ai. You get to that outside of the portal. If you're trying to contact them using the portal options, where they tell you to contact a technician, you get the error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." This company is completely fake and they tried charging my credit card 5 times!
