There are quite a few Android GPS trackers on the market that can serve the needs of anyone who wants to track someone’s phone whether you want them to know you are doing so or not. While all Android GPS trackers will allow you to see the target’s current location most offer advance features that are geared toward meeting the needs of concerned parents, diligent employers, suspicious partners and covert spies. Among the most feature rich solutions is StealthGenie; this article takes a look at its features and what it is like to use the service overall.
Features
StealthGenie is an advanced and feature rich Android cell phone tracking software that can be used for a wide range of monitoring activities whether that entails keeping tabs on your spouse, friend, children or employees. Like many of the best Android GPS Trackers you will be able to do real-time Geo Location Tracking, get SIM change notifications, view contacts, emails, videos and emails that are stored on the target phone. Some of StealthGenie’s advanced features include:
Trigger Number Alert – With this feature you can set StealthGenie to send you a SMS or email whenever the monitored phone makes a call to a predetermined cell phone number. However, even without setting a trigger you will be able to see a log of all the calls that have been made and received. There is also an option to record all conversations, just in case.
Live Call Intercept – As we mentioned before, you can set up a trigger to alert you when a call is made or received by the monitored phone. Once Stealth Genie is installed on your target’s phone all you need to do to listen to a phone call that is in session is call the targets phone number from your own number, StealthGenie will recognize your phone number and add you to the conversation as a conference call. The monitored phone will never know that a third person has been added to the conversation.
Record surroundings – Sometimes what is said in regular conversation can be just as interesting as what is said on a phone conversation. StealthGenie can make you ‘a fly on the wall,’ in that you can remotely turn on the target phone’s microphone and listen to sounds and conversations that are within range of the microphone.
Backup and Wipe Data – This feature is best suited for owners who want to store a backup of all information and data on the target phone, but you can use it to keep a record of everything on the phone you are tracking just in case the user wipes data from it; it also works well as a security app on your personal phone, you know, just in case the device is stolen or misplaced.
Call History – The call history feature tells you the name, phone number, date/time and duration of each call. If lots of calls are made from the phone you can also analyze the data by exporting it to Excel, where you can use its powerful data analysis features to make sense of the call records.
SMS Redirect – This feature allows you to send a message to anyone on the contact list of the target phone. That recipient will receive the message as if it came from the phone that is being monitored.
Compatibility
Currently StealthGenie supports devices on all Android phones running OS versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0/3.1 and Blackberry phones running OS versions 4.6/4.6.1, 4.7, 5.0, 6.0. Unfortunately, this means that you can’t continue to use StealthGenie to track someone if they start using a Nokia or iPhone smartphone. If you are concerned that the person you want to track may change their phone, you can consider using Mobistealth since it supports all the major smartphone platforms. In any case, you can access all of StealthGenie’s features from any other device that has a web browser.
While Android trackers such as StealthGenie are ideal for spying on someone without them knowing it, they can be pretty useful at other times as well. Imagine a situation where you lose your phone but had installed StealthGenie. To recover the phone, and secure any sensitive data you may have on it, simply access your StealthGenie member’s areas from any browser to see where the phone is located; backup your data and remotely wipe anything you want to keep private.
StealthGenie is a pretty cost effective solution considering all the features the service offers. Packages start as low as $8/month for the basic package up to $16/month for the Platinum package. You can even save more by purchasing a package for a period of 3, 6 and 12-month intervals.
