To safeguard the interests of the mobile phone users, the mobile monitoring applications have been designed. The need for the security of the mobile device has prompted its users to seek the help of mobile monitoring applications.

The monitoring application has excellent features that help you monitor the mobile activities of your near and dear ones, and take the necessary steps if anything wrong is found. Installation of the mobile monitoring application protects the users from threats like cyber bullying, child abuse, actions performed by dishonest employees in the office, cheating spouse and so on.

The popularity of the mobile monitoring application can be attributed to the fact that it operates n a discreet manner and tactfully monitors all the target phone activities without leaving any clues or raising suspicion.

Compatibility with mobile platforms: The mobile monitoring application supports most mobile platforms. Some of the platforms supported by the application include Android, Blackberry, iPhone, Symbian and Windows Mobile. The best part of the monitoring software is that one can monitor multiple phones through a single user account.

Records calls, text messages, and emails: The application helps to maintain a log of all calls made or received via the target phone. Along with the number, the time and call durations are also recorded. A log is also maintained with respect to all e mails along with the details, even if they are deleted from the phone memory. A full detailed text of the SMS can be viewed by the application software.

Trace the location: The mobile monitoring application can track the current location of the target phone through GPS. This feature is very useful in tracking your lost phone or a missing family member.

Video and Picture logs: With access to the photos and videos on the target phone, you can protect your child from pornography and pedophiles.
