Tiger Text Cheating Spouse App vs. iPhone Spy Apps
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s the Tiger Text vs. iPhone Spy App show down.
Over the past few days, there has been a considerable amount of news about a new cheating spouse app for the iPhone called Tiger Text. Although Tiger Text definitely looks like a fun app, a cheating spouse hoping to use Tiger Text to carry on an affair wont stand a chance if their spouse has installed an iPhone spy app on their iPhone.
Before I get into all the reasons why Tiger Text will actually HELP a suspicious spouse catch a cheater (versus helping the cheating spouse carry on an affair), here is an overview of what Tiger Text is, and how it works.
WHAT IS TIGER TEXT & HOW DOES IT WORK?
(If you already know what Tiger Text is, and want to skip the overview and go straight to my ’5 Reasons Why Tiger Text Will HELP Catch A Cheating Spouse’ list, click HERE.)
Tiger Text is an iPhone app that advertises itself as a tool to help people “cover their tracks” that are left when sending traditional text messages. What Tiger Text does is enable a cheating spouse to send text messages between the “other person” (who is also using Tiger Text) and not worry about the text message being found by someone else — because messages sent via Tiger Text will essentially self destruct within a specified timeframe.
When you send a text message using Tiger Text, the content of your message is never sent to the recipient’s phone as it does when you send a standard text message. Since the message doesn’t reside on the recipient’s phone, but rather stored on Tiger Text’s servers, you are given full control when the messages are deleted from Tiger Text’s servers.
Check out the screen shots below for a sample.

As you can see from the screen shots above, once the messages are gone, they are gone. You can set messages to ‘Delete On Read’ or set your own time limit such as 2 hours, 4 hours, etc. A few other tidbits of information are that both users must have Tiger Text installed (there is a free reader if the other person doesn’t want to buy Tiger Text), and if a message is set to expire at a specified time period and it’s not read, then its gone forever. Check out the screen shot below for an overview of Tiger Text’s settings.

Pricing for Tiger Text is FREE for the first 100 messages or 15 days (whichever comes first), and then its $1.49 per 250 messages sent per month or $2.49 per month for unlimited messages. Currently the iPhone is the only supported device, but there are now plans for BlackBerry and Android versions later this year.
The developer of the app says that using Tiger Text will help you cover your tracks, and I agree 100%. It will help someone cover their tracks who is using Tiger Text to send text messages. However, if a suspicious spouse has secretly installed an iPhone spy app on their spouse’s iPhone, then its game over. The cheating spouse will get caught. I’m 100% sure of it, for the reasons below.
Here are my 5 reasons why Tiger Text will actually HELP catch a cheating spouse (and NOT help a cheating spouse carry on an affair).
#1) Live Call Tapping – iPhone spy apps such as Flexispy PRO-X enable a suspicious spouse to secretly listen in on calls. Even if their spouse is using Tiger Text to communicate, at some point they will talk to them on the phone. When they do, the suspicious spouse can secretly tap into the call and listen in to what is going on.
#2) Stealth GPS Tracking - Ok, so someone uses Tiger Text’s cheating spouse app to arrange a secret meeting with the “other” person. Perhaps it’s during a work day and they are supposed to be in meetings all day (thats their story), or maybe they are supposed to be on the east side of town versus the west side. Regardless of where they are supposed to be, what they end up doing is using Tiger Text to meet up someplace thinking their spouse will never know. Unfortunately for them, an iPhone spy app has stealth GPS tracking (available on Mobile Spy & all versions of Flexispy). This means when they are at their secret meeting, their spouse will know exactly where they are and will be able to track them down. So much for covering your tracks.
#3) Remote Monitoring - This is similar to the item above, but with a bit more drama thrown in. A cheating spouse can use Tiger Text all they want to arrange a secret meeting, but with an iPhone spy app, their spouse can perform a spy call (only available on Flexispy PRO & PRO-X) and remotely turn on the iPhone and listen in on the iPhone’s surroundings. Now the spouse not only knows exactly where their cheating spouse is via GPS tracking, but they now can listen in on what’s going on in the room. Ooops.
#4) Call History - Similar to item #1, at some point a Tiger Text user will call the “other” person, and when they do, their call records will show who they called and when. Even if the call history is erased as soon as they finish the call, an iPhone spy app sold by Flexispy or Mobile Spy will record the number dialed/received, time, date, and duration. Now all the spouse has to do is perform a reverse cell phone look up to find out who owns the number. Busted.
#5) Tiger Text itself – Tiger Text is a victim of its own success. There has been an enormous buzz surrounding Tiger Text since it was released. The news has hit not only the tech blogs and news sites, but also all the traditional media outlets such as CNN, NY Times, etc.. which means if a cheating spouse thinks Tiger Text is going to be their savior, they are in for a big surprise because if they’ve heard of it, most likely their spouse has as well. What will their excuse be when their spouse flips through their icons and sees a big orange ‘Tiger Text’ icon on their phone. I’d like to see someone explain to their spouse the reasons for needing an app the deletes messages that they don’t want other people to read. Furthermore, if the “other” person wants to collect evidence, all they have to do is take a screen shot (power button + home button) before the message is deleted, and they will have the evidence they need to be used in any way they want.
In summary, in my opinion Tiger Text is more of a novelty app. It’s something you show your friends, joke about at parties, etc., but it’s not something that will help a cheating spouse carry on an affair, especially if their spouse has secretly installed an iPhone spy app on their iPhone. If that’s the case, the only thing Tiger Text will do is only give the cheating spouse a false sense of security and most likely just expedite the inevitable day of when they are caught. When that happens, they’ll find themselves giving their own version of a public apology to their family for their indiscretions.

With Tiger Text, you don’t have to worry about someone going through your iPhone and reading your text messages. Tiger Text will enable you to set your text messages to either delete when read, or self destruct within a specified time frame. However, it wont protect you from an iPhone spy app as described above.
Features: Automatically delete messages or specify when messages are to self destruct.
Price: FREE for the first 100 messages or 15 days (whichever comes first), and then its $1.49 per 250 messages sent per month or $2.49 per month for unlimited messages.

Flexispy is the most technologically advanced iPhone spy application money can buy. No other spy phone vendor offers as many iPhone spy features as Flexispy. The downside? The price. Flexispy has the most features, but is also the most expensive.

- 100% undetectable.
- Excellent customer service, 10 day money back guarantee.
- Price: $149-$349 USD
Mobile Spy was the first company in the world to release an iPhone spy app and although not as feature rich as Flexispy, their iPhone spy app has enough features to satisfy most people. Combined with a low price, Mobile Spy is a solid product.
- Features: SMS/text message interception, & view call logs.
- Industry’s ONLY secured SSL control panel to view your logs.
- Monitor multiple phones.
- 30 day money back guarantee. (If they can’t get the the software to work on your phone.)

iPhone Spy App For Any Budget | Cheap iPhone Spy Apps
Posted by: | Comments$350 bucks.
That’s how much it will cost to get your hands on the top of the line iPhone spy app sold by Flexispy. Now for most people, dropping $350 bucks on a cell phone app is a bit out of their budget. So what options are available if you don’t have much money to spend, but really need to get your hands on an iPhone spy app?
Not many people realize that there are a few low cost spy apps available for the iPhone, but the apps are not advertised as a “spy product” or they’re just sort of flying under the radar. I’ve looked around, and have put together a list of the top low cost iPhone spy apps that are anywhere from FREE to $50 bucks.
If you’re looking for a low cost way to spy on an iPhone, I’m sure you’ll find something here that will do the trick.
By the way, If you know of any other low cost iPhone spy apps that are not on this list, send me an email or leave a comment, and I’ll be sure to add it to this list in a future update.
IPHONE SPY APPS FOR ANY BUDGET
LESS THAN A BUCK
FIND MY IPHONE (part of Apple’s MobileMe service)

HOW MUCH? FREE for the first 60 days, then $99 per year after. Although not really FREE, the fact that you get a 60 day trial without putting up any cash, is sort of FREE in my book. :)
WHAT IS IT & DOES IT DO? ‘Find My iPhone’ is advertised as a service for an iPhone owner to locate their lost or stolen iPhone. Although advertised as a tool to track your iPhone, it’s also a great tool for anyone who wants to secretly track someone using an iPhone. Similar to most spy apps, you do need access to your target’s iPhone, but once you set it up, you can instantly get updates on their location via your online MobileMe account. You’ll also get to see the contacts they have stored on their phone, so you know who they are calling. It doesn’t list any call data, text messages, or provide any other insight, but it does a fantastic job at tracking the iPhone user.
To get started, all you need to do is sign up for a Mobile Me account by taking advantage of their free 60 day trial, and then set it up on the iPhone you want to track. Once you do set it up, you’ll find the tracking details almost identical to the tracking details provided by iPhone spy apps sold by Flexispy and Mobile Spy.
Here is an actual screenshot from inside a Mobile Me account.

As you can see from the screenshot above, you get a nice arial view with the ability to further zoom in or out. You can also select between a map or satellite view.What I like most about this service compared to the other iPhone tracking apps sold via the app store, is that you don’t need to request permission from the iPhone user every time you want to locate them.
Bottom line, this is a great iPhone tracking service that can provide you a fantastic way to track an iPhone. Way to go Apple.

SECURITY CAM

HOW MUCH? $0.99 cents
WHAT IS IT & DOES IT DO? The Security Cam app is sold via the app store and what it does is essentially turns an iPhone into your very own personal spy cam. The way this iPhone spy app works, is that it enables you to snap photos based on various triggers. For example, you can set it to snap a photo when a certain audio trigger is tripped. Other features include a countdown timer that snaps a photo when time expires, and the ability to add a date/time stamp to the photos. Keep in mind that this app is installed on YOUR iPhone. It’s not a traditional iPhone spy app that will enable you to spy on an iPhone user, but it does have spy capabilities since you can set it up to secretly spy on a room (as shown in the pics below), or any other setting where you want to keep an eye on whats going on.
Here is an actual screen shot of the app.

MORE INFO: www.crowdedroad.com (or just do a search in the app store)
________________________________________________________________________________________
CONTACT SPY

HOW MUCH? $0.99 cents
WHAT IS IT & DOES IT DO? Contact Spy is an online ‘reverse people look up’ app for the iPhone. The way it works, is it provides you a way to quickly search for more details of anyone on your own personal contact list. Information Contact Spy will look for include the following:
- Web sites that mention and/or refer to your contact.
- Images that match your contact’s name.
- News of your contact.
- Blogs that mention your contact’s name.
- Addresses (US only) of your contact.
I realize this is not really an iPhone spy apps, but in a way it is because Contact Spy is giving you a way to easily investigate someone you might meet at a networking event, or similar function.
Here is a screen shot.

LESS THAN $5 BUCKS
NIGHT RECORDER

HOW MUCH? $2.99
WHAT IS IT & DOES IT DO? Besides having probably the coolest user interface I’ve seen on an iPhone spy app, Night Recorder is advertised as an app to help treat Parasomnia, by recording the sounds you make while you are asleep. The way this app works, is by using adjustable audio triggers to start a recording. This means you can leave your iPhone somewhere, such as:
- Under the car seat of the person you want to monitor.
- In a room while you go to the bathroom, in order to hear what is said while you are no in the room.
- Under your partner’s bed if you want to see what happens when you are not around.
The possibilities of using this app as an iPhone spy app are really only limited by your own imagination, and at only $2.99, it’s a great deal.
Features include being able to adjust the sensitivity of the mic, transfer your files via WiFi, and an option to have new audio files every time a new recording takes place, or make one continuous recording.
Check out the screen shots below.

________________________________________________________________________________________
LESS THAN $50 BUCKS
MOBILE SPY

How Much? $49.97 (3 month license)
WHAT IS IT & DOES IT DO? Mobile Spy was the first company to sell spy software built exclusively for the iPhone. It’s a great entry level iPhone spy app that has a great set of spy features, which should be more than enough for anyone who wants to spy on an iPhone.
Features include the following:
- View Call Logs – Each incoming and outgoing number is logged along with duration and time stamp.
- Secretly Read Text Messages - Every text message is logged even if the phone’s logs are deleted. Includes full text.
- iPhone GPS Tracking – GPS postions are uploaded every thirty minutes with a link to a map.
- Browser History – Every website visited in Safari will be recorded into a list inside your account.
All of this for only a bit shy of $50 bucks. In my opinion, this is great value for the money. It’s not the best product in terms of features, but for anyone with a limited budget and who doesn’t need any of the more advanced spy features found on Flexispy’s PRO-X (such as live call tapping & remote room monitoring), then it’s a good deal.
By the way, in order to install Mobile Spy (or Flexispy), you will need to jailbreak/unlock the iPhone. There is no way to install it without first jailbreaking/unlocking the iPhone. If you think you will not be able to do this, or perhaps you are worried the owner of the iPhone will notice, then don’t buy this iPhone spy app. Flexispy does a real good job hiding the fact that the phone has been jailbroken, but the bottom line is that the phone will be jailbroken, so keep this in mind when shopping for iPhone spy apps.
Here is a snapshot of how the user account looks when looking up the iPhone’s location history. If you click on the ‘view map’ link, you’ll be taken to Google Maps, to see where the GPS coordinates are on a map.

________________________________________________________________________________________
DON’T FORGET
One thing to point out, both the Find My iPhone & Mobile Spy app require physical access to the iPhone in order to install the software. This means also being able to bypass the PIN code if the user has one protecting their iPhone. There is no way to install either app without physical access to the phone.
The other apps are installed on YOUR iPhone, so there isn’t any restrictions you are going to be faced with.
Remember, if you know of any other iPhone apy apps that should be included in this list, email me or leave a comment, and I’ll add it to this list in a future update.
Thanks for reading!

MobiStealth PRO-X Now Supports CDMA (Sprint & Verizon)
Posted by: | Comments************************
UPDATE> FEB 20, 2010: I want to clarify my previous post about MobiStealth working on CDMA networks. It seems I might have caused a bit of confusion, so please read this update.
My announcement that MobiStealth PRO-X now supporting CDMA networks such as Verizon and Sprint is valid, BUT so far it’s only been confirmed on both the HTC Hero and HTC Eris phones. No other Android phones have been tested yet other than the Droid (which is still causing a few problems), so if you are buying MobiStealth PRO-X because it now works on CDMA networks, DO NOT buy it if your target does not have either the HTC Hero or Eris phones. As soon as additional phones are supported (such as the Droid), I’ll post another update.
************************
I got a bit of interesting news today. It seems that MobiStealth’s top of the line PRO-X Android spy product, now supports phones that are on CDMA networks such as Verizon & Sprint.
Prior to this announcement, if you wanted to use the call recording feature found on MobiStealth’s PRO-X version, it would only work on Android phones that are on GSM networks. This announcement is great news for anyone wanting to listen to recordings of their target’s phone calls, but it’s also great for MobiStealth as a company, since no other spy phone vendor has a call recording or call intercept feature that works on CDMA networks. MobiStealth is the first to offer such feature.
Now one thing to point out is that not all Android phones are supported. For some reason, the DROID is having slight issues with it, but so far it’s been tested rigorously on the HTC Hero and HTC Eris phones. I’m sure it’s just a matter of days before we’ll see support for the Droid and other phones.

Spy Phone Tip > How To Do A Quick Phone Check
Posted by: | Comments
Determining if your target’s cell phone will support the installation of spy phone software, should be one of the first things you do prior to purchasing. It’s easy to spot an iPhone or BlackBerry, but what should you do when you have absolutely no idea if your target’s cell phone is running Android, Symbian, or Windows Mobile? To find out if your target’s cell phone is supported, here are a couple QUICK and EASY options.
OPTION #1: Go to the spy phone vendor’s website and see if your target’s cell phone is listed. Check for a tab or link on their website that says Supported Phones, Compatibility or something similar. The three main spy phone vendors Flexispy, Mobile Spy, & MobiStealth all have pictures of each supported phone type, so they do make it easy.
Using this option is great if your target has a phone that’s been on the market for a while, but if they have a cell phone that’s just hit the market, you probably won’t see it listed on the vendor’s website. This is where Option #2 comes in.
OPTION #2: Do a quick online search yourself and find out right away. Performing a search on your own is actually quite easy if you know where to go. My favorite resource to check on phone compatibility is CNET Reviews. When readers email me wanting to know if a specific phone is compatible, I’ll always reply back with a link to a review from CNET. Just follow these three easy steps.
1) Go to http://reviews.cnet.com and do a search for the phone.

2) Look for your phone within the search results, and then click on the one that best matches your search query. Once the review page loads, you’ll see a series of small tabs. What you’ll want to do is click on the ‘Specifications’ tab as shown below.

3) Now scroll down and look for the ‘Communicator Features’ section. If you see either Google Android, Symbian OS, or Windows Mobile, then you’ll be able to install spy phone software on your target’s cell phone.

Just remember that not all vendors support all OS types. Here is a quick summary of each company, and what they support.
FLEXISPY – BlackBerry, iPhone, Symbian, & Windows Mobile
MOBILE SPY – Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Symbian, & Windows Mobile
MOBISTEALTH - Android
In a perfect world, the best thing to do would be to do a quick search as described above and verify that your target’s cell phone is supported. Then just to be 100% sure, send an email to the spy phone vendor and ask them to confirm that the phone is supported. There could be a legitimate reason why a specific cell phone is not listed on their site as a supported phone. In probably 9 out of 10 times, if you see that your target’s cell phone is running a supported OS, you wont have any problems installing spy phone software, but it’s always good to double check.
Have fun,
SPG
PS> Feel free to email me with any questions you have regarding phone compatibility.

Motorola RAZR Spy Phone | How To Spy On A RAZR Cell Phone
Posted by: | Comments
One thing that surprises me, is how many people still have a Motorola RAZR. I think I must get at least 2-3 emails a day from people who want to know how to spy on a Motorola RAZR cell phone. I know at one point, the Motorola RAZR was the #1 selling cell phone in the US, but it just surprises me that so many people still use it. This post is for all the people who want to know if its possible to spy on a Motorola RAZR.
If you want to spy on a Motorola RAZR cell phone, I have good news and bad news. Let’s start with the bad news first.
BAD NEWS
The bad news is that you cannot purchase spy phone software that will work on a Motorola RAZR.
The only apps you can install on a RAZR are Java apps that must be turned on everytime you want to use them. There is no way to silently start a Java app without the user knowing, and more importantly keep it running in the background. Smart phones such as an iPhone or BlackBerry dont have this problem, because a smart phone has an operating system that enables developers to create applications that can automatically start up when the phone is turned on, and also run silently in the background. The best example is to think of your PC. When you start it up, there are numerous programs that also start up behind the scenes. You are not required to physical turn on each driver, program, etc.
In a nutshell, this is why spy phone software for the Motorola RAZR doesn’t exist. If Motorola releases a future version of the RAZR running Android or Symbian, then commercial spy software sold by companies such as Flexispy & Mobile Spy will work. Until that day arrives, you’ll have to look for another way to spy on a Motorola RAZR.
GOOD NEWS
Even though there is not a way to install spy phone software on a Motorola RAZR, you do have options if you want to secretly read deleted text messages, or view deleted call logs. What you need to do is purchase a SIM card spy tool. The most popular SIM card spy tool is a product called Cell Phone Spy Elite, and is sold by Brick House Security. The Cell Phone Spy Elite device is about the size of a standard USB drive and is advertised as #1 SIM Recovery Tool Trusted By Private Investigators ?For Deep Forensic Analysis Of SIM Cards and Smart Cards.
Here is an overview of how it works.

As you can see, its pretty easy. You just remove the SIM card from the Motorola RAZR, and place the SIM card into the SIM card reader. Now you insert the SIM card reader into the USB port of a computer and you are able to read deleted text messages, call logs, and other information stored on both the SIM card and the RAZR’s memory card.
The price of Cell Phone Spy Elite is $199.95, but there is a $25 discount currently being offered on BrickHouse’s website.
Before you rush out to purchase Cell Phone Spy Elite, I do want to let you know that this product WILL NOT work any cell phones that do not have a SIM card, no phones running on the Verizon network, the iPhone, or BlackBerry.
