If I may say so myself, I’m a bit of an expert with apps made for parents. So when newbie XNSPY hit the market, I knew I had to review it before it took off. So what is XNspy? In a nutshell, it is an Apple Spy App that parents can put on their children’s devices to keep an eye on them. Does it really work? Why yes, it does in fact work as advertised. Which is quite rare for the parenting app market. Let’s dig a little deeper.
The Interface
To me, the layout of any app speaks volumes. If it looks like you can use it, then it’s the real deal. If it looks way too complex to work, it is probably fake. XNSPY has a pretty clean interface so yeah, you can rest be assured that the phone tracking app is legit. Another thing that I liked about the design is the way they’ve laid out their features. And they’ve got a lot of features. But my point is, even if you don’t consider yourself to be great with computers, the layout is pretty rudimentary. It is clean and sharp and presents itself in the form of buttons and tabs. It is not very text heavy, which was a relief to me because I hate reading through little bits of tiny text on my screen. I’d rather than see a big bold symbol and know exactly what I’m supposed to click. So, XNSPY was all checks in this front.
An Abundance of Features
I did mention that XNSPY is essentially a mobile tracking app. But honestly, calling it that doesn’t fully do it justice because it lets you do a few other things. You can
- Remotely see who your children talk to, text, or IM
- Remotely see what websites they visit
- Monitor where they go through GPS
- Record all their calls
- Look through the multimedia files on their phones
- Monitor dating apps like Kik or Tinder
- Monitor social media apps like Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook
There were a few more apps that you can get depending on what package you get, but these were definitely the most impressive. I’ve never seen call recording this sophisticated on any other parenting app, and I have reviewed a lot of parenting apps.
What’s the Catch?
Have you realized the obvious loophole with this mobile tracker yet? Because I have. You have to actually acquire physical access of the phone to install XNSPY onto it. If you were planning on being sneaky, you can see how this could be a problem.
My second reservation with this particular app is that it is a fairly new entrant of the market. So we don’t have any historical data by which to judge it, nor do we have enough tales of user experience.
Final Verdict
But if you want to take my word for it? I’d give XNSPY a solid ‘A’ based on what I saw. If you’re looking for an Apple Spy App for your children, I’d say go for this one. Install XNSPY because as a parent, this is the app I’d use if I wanted to keep a better eye on my son.
