“Quite an improvement!”

Sandy J.
4/7/21

It has gotten quite an improvement. Now there is nothing wrong with the application. It's customer support service has done marvelous job over the last month. It responds instantly and responds to customer queries honestly. The application has functional features. All the features work properly and provide results within no time. The best part of it is pocket friendly price. So i am giving 5 rating.

“Worst (as in Zero) Customer Service. Avoid these people!”

I was delighted to discover them. I'm currently using MSpy, but I was getting intermittent results and saw that they offered more/better logs. After paying for a years service, I did the typical install. Sometimes confusing, as the version of Android I have (13) is different than their install illustrations. Okay, I shot from the hip, and it seems I got through it. As time progressed (just days) I realized I was getting quite different results. Nothing was showing on WhatsApp, and some messages from Telegram were visible. But basically NOTHING else. I searched and looked high & low. As it turns out, once logged in, one sees nothing but the dashboard and their service. There were no support, service, contact icons, nothing. The only "help" was pawing through a quasi pull-down list of items that took you to some solutions. As well, most of the ADVERTISED SERVICES were only available to ROOTED phones. (This was not something I recall anywhere in the advertising). And, it turns out I was DOUBLE BILLED! I paid through PayPal, which was rejected the following day. So, I paid directly, in order to not be cancelled. Three days later, I was billed & processed on the original billing. So, I had to hunt down their e-mail address and I sent to them a detailed letter. A Bullet-Point letter, outlining (my suggestions) as well as each of my issues with the service I was receiving. To include the fact that they never stated (prior to sale) that I required a ROOTED phone to get the results they offered. I received a prompt letter back: I was BLOCKED & CANCELLED. These MFs didn't acknowledge anything, didn't try and help, didn't propose a single solution. They stated they couldn't do business with me. We are several days into my refund, $400, and I've yet to see the funds returned. They may be a great tech service, but they lack principles, integrity AND customer service. AVOID these people!

It had to happen: if the target owner is not stupid, sooner or later he realizes that something is wrong. Live screen recording makes it apper the chromecast icon on the top of the target mobile and often prevents vocals on Whatsapp or Telegram. Same for view 360: impossible to send vocals if you are using this feature. And the target owner bought another mobile. Game over!
Luckily I didn't get an annual subscription. What a $#*! app

DONT BUY! Dont make the same mistake i did. Trusted them and took 6months subscription. Nothing works as they promised. And the customer guy or girl Milow is useless. Waited for new update for 3months nothing comes. They perform the installation and failed. Asked for refund and still processing for a month. You wont get any service from them and your money going to their pocket. Theres many better app and they work really well. This full of bull$#*!. If you still taking the risk then its up to you! Dont fall for the ADs and their own review!

This app could be great but half of the time it is not loading correctly and the customer service is a joke. They tell you every time just wait and it will work for you what is a straight lie. They have severe Network and Data Base problems and the one guy or girl Millow what is the customer service doesn´t give a dime about the customer. It is never their fault and they only copy and paste the same stupid answers. Since now 9 days the app did not work and the customer service is telling it is an update --- DO NOT BUY you will lose your money

Re: Amy- your company never processed my refund and it has been a year now. Please do not try to make false claims, again, to hide your companies deceptive and misleading services. Had the refund for 150.00 been processed I would have more respect for your company. As it is now, you deserve zero stars.

First experience with installation took close to 3 hours. Then it did not relay any data for 2 days. Once it started to transmit data, I only was able to hear one side of the conversation. The app constantly freezes and is slower than I would of imagined. The customer service is basically non existent and when they do respond they send an automated response as if they never even read my question. The app actually caused the target device to become dysfunctional and no longer capable of holding a charge or operating within a normal temperature. They also put an icon on target device that allows user to observe the program has been installed on device. My opinion is don't waste your money or time on this company. Avoid at all costs.

Pathetic service
Pathetic service, not all features working and there is no one to resolve it. In chat session some prototype answers are given. Today, still waiting for answer for last 1 hour in the chat session. But there is no one out there. Asking for full refund, but don't think I will get the refund. They are just refusing the refund in so many other ways than saying "NO" directly. They will only ask you to contact them in this regard again and again and no refund will be issued.

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy this app unless and until you want to loose your money.

I purchased and installed the app successfully, but it just didn't work even though I had followed all the steps and re-installed it several times. There was no current log at all and the calls log were dated 2018. They offered to guide me through but unfortunately the phone had already been brought out of the country. And when I asked for refund, they are now avoiding my emails.

I purchased a package with the One spy in September 2021 and tried it on an Android phone, but I found most of the features and monitoring tools mentioned on their official website, because of which I bought the program, it does not work as it should. I sent email for my refund but they ask me first for help to solve the problems with apk, i did all their instructions, but The problems of the application were not resolved, and then I asked them for my refund again and they sent an email agreeing that my refund will be paid within 15 days after 5 October, and that date passed but my refund was not made, so I sent an email reminding them that the time for my refund had passed, but every time they replied that the process was under progress and until today my refund has not been paid after two months have passed from the date of that my refund suposed to be paid.

This app does not do what it says it will do. The target phone is a 5g device after downloading the app, the target phone has become dysfunctional, can no longer hear phone ringing, alarm clock no longer functions, draining battery, and the temperature of the phone is extremely hot. The app only records one side of the phone call, also the target device is notified when you are trying to use the app. They can see you when you are trying to use the view 360 part of the app. Contacted customer support through email haven't heard anything back. It took me a whole day to get this app downloaded and I spoke to the customer service guy milow about the issues I am having and he is unable to help me. He is blaming it on my device which is a brand new s20 ultra 5g. The product doesn't do what it says, it has only been 3 days since I downloaded it I requested a refund of 95.00 and haven't gotten a response back yet.

I've been using this app for a while now. Unfortunately for three months it has been absolutely unusable, especially if you cannot access the target to upgrade. Minutes and minutes to load a page, most of the features do not update and every time the assistance repeats the same things: you have to wait a few days. But I've been going on like this for months. And now you can use view360 (surroundings listen) just for few minutes, after that there is a disconnection and you have to recharge the page: ABSOLUTELY RIDICOLOUS. Instead of getting better, it gets worse. Try other apps, this one is now to be trashed

So I was having some trouble with the app. I emailed them a number of times, but their customer support is pathetic. Eventually, I just quit using. Being a single mom I have to work long hours so, using a monitoring app for my teen is a must. Can't function without it. Very bad app and couldn't work. I suggest you do not purchase this app, This app is fraud and wastage of your money. Be aware of this app.

I contacted the technical support regarding my issue, the technical team told me sorry your phone won't support this app.My phone is Mi and android version is 10 we are working for this. I raised a request for refund but they told cannot get refund. Before I Install the sales team of onespy assured me my phone Mi will be support this app. But as per the technical team my phone cannot support this app. Then I raised a request for the refund. But I get a message from the senior sales executive it cannot be refundable. This app only work properly in Samsung phones only as per the executive.So my friends before buy this app make sure your phone comparability.

I am an app developer and what they are offering is a complete fraud. If you think you are going to catch your cheating spouse red-handed think again. Maybe this used to work but today there are very stringent and express safeguards that prevents any app from doing this sort of thing (other than rooting a phone) otherwise there would be fraud and mayhem everywhere. This is true of your phone number, your camera and your location as well - all of them are strictly protected and you need the active permission of the person you are spying on (loud and clear so there is no mistaking) before you can share anything. Even if you managed to get an app on the phone while they weren't looking the apps are required to tell you loud and clear that your phone is sharing information. ALL OF THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE WRITTEN BY PAID TROLLS. If you purchase this then I can only hope that you haven't soiled the gene pool with stupid children.

I decided to try The One Spy and purchased their product, knowing that if it did not fit my application, they had a refund policy.

"If TheOneSpy customer is not fully satisfied due to any other odd reason; a refund of 50% amount will be processed."

Their product did not work. Period. I have emailed to customer service. They have the most deceitful, untruthful customer service I have ever encountered in ANY product I've bought. I have emailed back and forth with them. Only asking for them to uphold their Refund Policy of 50% back (I should get 100% back but I only asked for them to keep their word of 50%).

THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY REFUND. The customer service rep (Millow, Milo, Mew) will not address my concern and only tells me that they are going to troubleshoot my devices for me. I NEVER asked for that! I had no problem using their product, my problem was that the product is insufficient for my needs and I'm not satisfied.

They are a SCAM and they WILL not honor any refund garuntee AFTER you purchase any product. One would think that this bottom-barrel type business dealing would not happen in the modern world. The customer service reps will not email you more than once a day. It is a SCAM. If you are thinking about purchasing from this company, RUN as fast as you can!

Buyer Beware - purchased this software. Followed instructions and installed it successfully. It conflicted with computer and would not work. Within two hours I asked for my money back as they say you have to ask for money back within 4 hours and only if system won't work on your computer. Their moron in tech support kept sending and resending instructions for installation even though I told him IT WAS INSTALLED but would not work. Never got my money back. These guys are crooks... be careful. Others have posted similar experiences as well. I should have checked however they mask the bad reviews but such a high rating not letting you see what really goes on here.
