What Makes Spyic the Best Location Tracker?
You might be wondering what is so special about Spyic that no other app can take its place. Well, I have got the answer for you right here. Read below to find out all the cool things about Spyic:
- Secret Phone Tracking: How many phone location trackers can claim to get you someone’s phone location without their knowledge? Spyic does exactly that, without the slightest possibility of them knowing what you are up to.
- No Jailbreaking or Rooting Required: Most secret location trackers require you to jailbreak or root any device in order to work without them knowing. However, that is a quite contradiction of the whole concept of ‘secret phone tracking’. This is why Spyic makes no such demands.
- Data Security: Lately, there has been a lot of concern about the private data of users getting stolen. That is why the data that you track using Spyic is only kept for you. Spyic does not save it on its own servers and even Spyic’s employees cannot view it.
- Web App: You can use Spyic from the web browser of any device, without the need to install any app on your phone or computer. This adds a whole new level of portability to using a location tracker. Users compliment Spyic’s web dashboard a lot due to its design and interface.
There are plenty more points to like about Spyic’s location tracker. In fact, it is not just a location tracker but a full-fledged service with 35+ features. You have to check its free demo on its website to see how it looks in action.
How Spyic’s Location Tracker Works ‘Secretly’
There are some people who think that ‘secret’ location tracking is just a gimmick and does not really work. This is why Spyic makes no secret of how it works for tracking someone’s location without their knowledge. Here is its working for Android and iOS devices:
Tracking an iPhone While Being Hidden:
When you want to track an iPhone’s (or iPad’s) location without the iPhone owner finding out about it, you can use Spyic without needing to touch that iPhone at all. This is because Spyic tracks an iPhone through the iCloud information of the device. All the iPhone data gets automatically uploaded to the iCloud backup server in an encrypted manner. Spyic decrypts it and presents it to your personalized web dashboard in a readable manner. Hence, to track an iPhone location using Spyic, you just need to enter the iCloud login information of the target user.
Tracking an Android Phone While Being Hidden:
When we are talking about Android phone tracking, it is compulsory to install the phone tracking app on the target Android phone. Spyic needs to obey this rule as well, as it is a necessity of all Android devices. However, Spyic has crafted its own Android app to be completely hidden even when installed on the target device. This is accomplished by keeping the app size around 3 MB.
Therefore, it takes only some seconds to install the app. Once Spyic is installed, the icon of the app will disappear from its app menu. You can open it by dialing a secret code (though you won’t really need to launch it due to Spyic’s remote web dashboard). Spyic runs on their phone background without giving any sort of notifications. It will not even discharge any battery because of its design.
The best part is that you never have to touch their phone again. Even if you wish to uninstall Spyic, you can do it remotely with your Spyic dashboard from any device. How awesome is that?
Spyic’s Location Tracker
Spyic has an advanced location tracker with many features that you might have never seen earlier. It shows you the live location of the device 24×7, precisely on a map. You can even view their recent locations with the timestamp for every location. Furthermore, it even comes with the Geo-fence feature, which lets you track the user’s phone even when you are busy. It allows you to set a perimeter on the device’s location. In case the device exits the boundary set by you, you get an alert on your method of choice.
As you can see, Spyic is pretty cool at what it does. Therefore, you should check it out at the earliest. I am sure that your search for a perfect location tracker will end there and then. And in case you aren’t convinced, I will go on with the rest of the list anyway.
2. Spyier
When it comes to phone location tracking, Spyier is another app that gives close competition to Spyic. Spyier is designed so you can track any Android or iOS devices (including phones and tablets) from any corner of the world. It can keep an eye on your kids, partner, and employees alike. It is designed keeping in mind the ease of use for the end user. Its interface is quite simple and even the first time users do not find any issue with it.
Further, it is quite a reputed brand with a dedicated user support team. If you feel any problem, no matter what time of the day it is, you can contact them without second thoughts. Therefore, Spyier earns the second spot on the list and you can use it as a Spyic alternative.
3. Spyine
Spyine is another great phone location tracker used by people all over the world. It has a blend of good parts of all the good phone tracking apps out there. Spyine can be used by anyone and everyone, regardless of their level of knowledge about using these apps. It takes just about two minutes to set up, after which phone tracking can be done instantly. It operates from your web browser just like apps like Spyic and Spyier. Its interface is quite remarkable and you are not going to face any problem using it. Therefore, all in all, Spyine is a great app worth trying. I would give it a green light from my end.

Minspy phone tracker is an especially good fit for parents who want to keep an eye on their children and make sure they are safe. This is why countless parents are already using the Minspy phone tracker. Therefore, if you are a parent looking forward to tracking your child’s whereabouts, you should not miss out on trying Minspy.
5. Cocospy
Cocospy is one of the earliest cell phone trackers for iPhones and Android phones. In fact, it would not be wrong to say that Cocospy has been around as long as smartphones have been around. This is why Cocospy supports almost all the iOS and Android devices out there, no matter how old or new they are. Even though the service has been around for a decade, it still feels fresh and brings newer updates regularly. Therefore, if you feel that the device you target might be incompatible with other secret location trackers, Cocospy will still do the job for you. Definitely worth a try, especially if you want a phone tracking solution that you can trust.
6. Clickfree
Clickfree is not just an authority platform when it comes to phone tracking services, it offers some of the best phone tracking services of its own. You can use Clickfree if you want a secure, stealthy, and reputed phone tracking app for your needs. The phone location data that you track using Clickfree is just kept for your knowledge only. While it may not feel as perfect and advanced as the top apps on the list, it is definitely worth a try if you want something simple.

Neatspy is crafted to keep a tab on your children or your employees conveniently, without their knowledge. Therefore, you are going to find it handy no matter what.
8. Zosearch
Zosearch is not like the phone trackers that I have mentioned so far or the phone trackers that you might have used. This is a search engine of people all over the world. You just need to enter a name, a phone number, email address, or any other information you have on them. With that, you can get all the information linked to them in any public document. Tracking them is a child’s play with Zosearch. While you will not get their live location, you can find out about their home address, office, address, past addresses and so much more. Therefore, Zosearch is quite helpful when you are thinking of tracking a missed caller whose identity you aren’t really sure about.
9. Whitepages
Whitepages is another phone number tracker of the likes of Zosearch. It is not really used for finding out the live location of a known person. It is best used if you want to track a missed caller. While Whitepages does not really have the resources of Zosearch, it can do the job it promises you to. There are a lot of duds in its databases which means that there is a chance of not finding out the information on the phone number you are searching for. Other than that, Whitepages can work for you if you have tried the other apps on this list. Whitepages is similar to Zosearch in its operation.
10. BeenVerified
BeenVerified is another popular phone number tracker service like Zosearch and Whitepages. You can use it as a last resort if the other apps on the list do not work out well for you. What BeenVerified is good at is doing background checks on people and finding out about their past. While the interface is not as good as Zosearch, BeenVerified is a verified and working application. The thing they need to improve is the time that it takes for it to find you the information that you are searching for. During the time of testing BeenVerified for this review, I had to wait for almost 40 minutes before it could give me something useful. This is why I would have to give BeenVerified the last spot on the list.
