Why are we promoting spy apps to watch our kids? Check this out

Hey folks, I have a serious question. Why in this day of everything going wrong are we even promoting spy apps? In something I just read entitled Watch Your Kids with Mobile Spy Apps and in practice, that may be a good idea.

Have you ever thought of the types of information these applications might collect? They send the information to you via email or sms, and you know exactly what is going on.

While I understand the idea of these applications which vary from IOS and Android and many names are listed, is this something we should really be promoting?

Mobile Spy Apps or Mobile Spy Software are specifically designed for use with iOS and Android devices. These kinds of applications help you monitor incoming,
outgoing text messages, GPS locations, and calls made and received on your mobile phone. To do this, these programs need to read the files that come in
the form of APN’s (Access Point Name), HAP (Home Access Point), and IMS (Incoming Message Status).
When the Mobile Spy Software analyzes these data packets, a log of the device’s activity can then be extracted. All the information is recorded in the
text and automatically sent to a third party website.

What are th practices of these web sites?

The article continues:

Some of the most famous examples of these monitoring applications are iSpy for iOS and Freezy for android phones. Other examples include SpyFu for Mac,
Rxected for iPhone, logger for Blackberry, Cloner for Windows Mobile, GoArtical for PSP, CoolMobile for Windows Mobile, MyTrace for iPhone, MyTrace for
Android, MyTrace for PC, Sonar for Symbian, ATOM GPS for HTC, ATOM GPS for Windows Mobile and PC.

Here we have a lot of different applications, and today, I just can’t recommend anything like these apps to anyone. With the breaches becoming rampant and not slowing down any time soon, consider checking on the privacy practices of any of these apps before deploying them.

Kids are smart, they can surely find apps they know nothing about and can remove them too. Just something to think about.
