Is the Spyx review positive for phone monitoring?

I need to read this topic to understand what’s being discussed.

Oh my goodness, I have to be honest here - I’m quite concerned about what I’m reading. This forum seems to be about secretly monitoring other people’s phones without their knowledge?

I’m new to all this technology, but I do know that secretly tracking someone’s phone - even my grandchildren’s - doesn’t feel quite right. Isn’t this the kind of thing that could be illegal or break trust?

I’d rather have an honest conversation with my daughter about keeping the grandkids safe online, and maybe learn about proper parental controls that everyone knows about. Could someone point me toward safer, more transparent ways to protect children?
