SpyBubble Software Review - Spy On Your Smartphone

By: Katie White

By now, you must have heard of Spybubble, a smartphone application that is becoming more and more popular each day. However, many people still wonder, can it really spy on a smartphone? The short answer is "yes, it can." However, for those of you who haven't heard of it or don't know exactly what it does, this review will explain its basic features and advantages.

Let's start with how you get it, which is very simple. Spybubble can be purchased from its website: spybubble.com, and then downloaded into a smartphone that you own. You then create a username and a password that you need to log into the website and look at the activity of the phone. It's that simple. The smartphone will give no indication that Spybubble is running on it, such as icons, logos, beeps, messages, etc.

Once installed, you get access to the full features of the application. Here's a breakdown of its features:

Call Tracking. Spybubble lets you track the calls that are made or received by the smartphone. With your username and password, you'll be able to get access to a log that shows the number or calls made or received, the duration of said calls, and most importantly, the numbers which have called or been called by the smartphone. Also, if a name has been assigned to a number by the user in the phone's memory, you'll be able to see it, making it much easier to identify the caller.

Access to Text Message Contents: Similarly, Spybubble will let you read any text message that is sent or received by the smartphone. In addition to the content, you'll also be able to see any pertinent information regarding the message, such as the time the message was sent or received and the number from which it was sent or received. As with calls, you can also see any name that has been assigned to a number that sent or received a text message. There are some people that erase their messages as soon as they read them or send them, but because messages get registered in the log as soon as it is created, you can still read them even if they are erased from the smartphone.

Phone Location Tracking. With Spybubble, you can always know where the phone (and the user of the phone) is. The software makes the location of the phone available through Google Maps, which you can also access from the Spybubble website.

Remote Call Listening. Spybubble will let you listen to calls from a number that you select and enter in the system. If a call or made to or received from the number you selected, your own mobile (not the mobile with Spybubble installed on it) will automatically receive a text message telling you that the number has been contacted. If you call the mobile that has the Spybubble software installed on at that moment, you'll be able to listen to the call.

Now, based on these features, there three main groups that benefit from Spybubble.

a) Parents. In my opinion, this is the group that benefits the most of Spybubble, since it allows them to protect their children. In some cases, giving your child a smartphone with Spybubble installed on it can mean saving him or her from a dangerous situation.

For example, there's no need to ask your teenager kids anymore where they will be (a practice that they consider invasive and restricting anyway). Just log into the Spybubble website and see if they're in the school or at their best friend's house, like they said they would be. However, the real protection comes when your child disappears, or God forbids, is kidnapped. If you teach your child to always keep their smartphone with them and never surrender it unless it's necessary for their safety, you'll have a tracking device that will show you where he or she is or at least where to start looking.

Also, sometimes children and teenagers get into serious problems but refuse to share them with their parents because they are embarrassed, afraid of being punished, or intimidated by bullies or criminals. By reading their text messages, you can find if your child has a problem with drugs, anorexia, bulimia, alcoholism, or unwanted pregnancy. Sometimes the problem comes from an external source, like a bully or a drug dealer that intimidates your son into silence. In any case, you really want to find out and do something about it.

b) Employers who give smartphones to their employees (and pay for them). While most people think that the most common practical application for this group would be to prevent company spying and employees giving secrets away, the truth is much less spectacular: to control expenses and employee attendance.

You see, when an employer gives a smartphone to one of his employees, he expects him to use it for company related purposes, such as calling clients. However, the temptation to make a long distance call to friend or relative and pass it as a client call is big. Also, it is also tempting to call in sick when you're actually at the ball game or visiting some friends. Both of these problems can be detected and corrected with the use of Spybubble.

In fact, it is much cheaper than you think. You don't have to install Spybubble on every mobile phone that your company owns. All you need to do is install it on the phones of a few problematic employees. The moment one is caught, all employees will think they're being monitored.

c) People who think they are being cheated on by their spouse. As you can imagine, the features of Spybubble make it extremely easy to find out whether they are being cheated on or just paranoid.

So there you go, those are the main features of Spybubble and the groups that receive the most benefits of it. I hope this review clarified you what Spybubble does and what it doesn't.
