A recent news report has declared Android as the Best-selling Smartphone OS. According to the report, one of the main reasons was due to strong sales from a number of vendors, including LG, Samsung, Acer and HTC. As Android soars in popularity, it’s understandable that an increasing number of people are looking for phone spyware for Android phones. This post will review the current Android spyware vendors on the market today, with a little bit of info on each one, and a final recommendation on which Android spyware app is the best one to buy.
Before we get into each Android cell phone monitoring vendor, it’s worth pointing out that most of the cell phone monitoring software sold for Android phones all have a core set of features shared by everyone. These features include such things as cellular phone tracking, viewing call logs, reading emails, recording incoming and outgoing text messages, & contacts stored on the phone.
What separates most vendors is the “extra” features that are offered by each one. Some offer call recording, on demand location tracking, and you can even get an app that have remote monitoring features. I’d also throw in the support and return policy as key differentiators. One final comment I’d like to make is to make sure you know exactly what you need the Android cell phone monitoring software for, and what you expect to get out of it, because the last thing you want to happen is to buy the wrong app, and then get yourself into a situation where you need to go through the whole process of reinstalling another Android spy app, on top of the one that is already on the phone.
BEST ANDROID SPYWARE APPS
Mobile Spy (www.mobile-spy.net) was the first company to develop and market Android cell phone monitoring software. They are easily considered the leaders in the overall spy phone industry. Mobile Spy offers a fantastic balance of features and price. Here is a list of features offered by Mobile Spy’s Android spy app. Another thing I really like about these guys is that they are one of the only vendors to offer LIVE phone based support. Moreover, if you buy their 1yr license, they will throw in a free copy of their top selling PC spy software package called Sniper Spy.
Mobile Spy Android features:
- View Call Logs – Each incoming and outgoing number is logged along with duration and time stamp.
- Read Text Messages – Every text message is logged even if the phone’s logs are deleted. Includes full text.
- Stealth GPS Tracking – GPS positions are uploaded every thirty minutes with a link to a map.
- View Contacts – Every contact on the phone is logged. New contacts added are also recorded.
- Tasks – All personal tasks that are created are logged and viewable.

____________________________________
SpyBubble (www.spy-bubble.com) is the newest of the bunch, and is trying hard to stand out from the crowd by offering a low price point, and allowing you to install their software on an unlimited number of phones. Not sure why you would need to do this other than to monitor a large number of company issued cell phones, but this is one feature they seem to be promoting a lot. Another good reason why you might want to buy SpyBubble, is if you don’t want to keep renewing your 3, 6, or 12 month license. Mobile Spy requires you to renew your license when it expires, so your total cost of ownership goes up, versus SpyBubble which is a one-time purchase.
SpyBubble features:
- View Call Logs – View incoming and outgoing call logs.
- View Contacts – View the phone’s contacts.
- Read Text Messages – Read all incoming and outgoing text messages.
- Location Tracking – This Android tracking feature enables you to track the Android phone.
- View Photos – View photos snapped on the phone.
HOW MUCH? $49.95 (lifetime license)

I like their low price point, solid support team, and overall cell phone monitoirng features. It’s by far the best “value for the money” among all the monitoring apps available. Bottom line, for less than $50 bucks, you can get one of the best Android cell phone monitoring app on the market.
In summary, there are a lot of Android monitoring vendors on the market today, so take your time to research them all. When in doubt, stick with the ones listed above.
