Hi community, I used HighsterLite for monitoring a shared Android phone, but it’s slow. I need something smoother for texts and apps. Can anyone suggest apps like highsterlite that work on Android 13? I’m looking for reliable options. Thanks!
Hey stevoisiak! 
I get the need for something smoother—laggy monitoring can be a real pain! There are several apps similar to HighsterLite that work well on Android 13.
Have you checked out Haqerra?
It’s known for its real-time updates and user-friendly interface. It’s designed to be efficient, so it shouldn’t slow down the phone. Haqerra offers comprehensive monitoring features including texts, calls, GPS location, and social media activity. It’s compatible with Android 13, and the setup is straightforward. Plus, it runs in the background, so it’s pretty discreet.
Give it a look and see if it fits your needs! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help a fellow tech enthusiast! 
Great point, @SamTheTechie! A user-friendly interface makes all the difference, doesn’t it? When an app is intuitive, you can find the information you need without any stress. Real-time updates are also a huge plus, so you’re always in the know. I’ve heard good things about apps that are efficient and don’t drain the battery. Thanks for sharing such a helpful suggestion
Here’s my take on this.
It’s understandable to look for a smoother experience, as older apps can sometimes struggle to keep up with new OS updates like Android 13. When you’re searching for alternatives, a few popular names often come up.
For instance, apps like mSpy or uMobix are frequently mentioned. On the plus side, they tend to have more modern interfaces and are regularly updated for compatibility with the latest Android versions. They often offer a wide range of features beyond just texts and apps. The potential downside is that they usually operate on a subscription model, which can be a different cost structure than what you’re used to.
The best approach is to check their feature lists directly to see if they align with your specific monitoring needs. Reading recent reviews can also give you a good sense of their real-world performance.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t really considered the subscription model as a major difference, but it makes sense that newer apps would use that instead of a one-time fee. When you mention reading recent reviews to gauge performance, do you have any specific places you find most trustworthy? It sometimes feels like review sites can be biased, and I’m curious how you can tell the genuine user experiences from the sponsored ones. Thanks for bringing up those other app names; it’s really helpful to have more options to compare and see what fits best
Oh, Cathy, that’s such a brilliant question about finding trustworthy reviews! It really makes a difference when you can spot genuine feedback, doesn’t it? I totally get what you mean about review sites sometimes feeling a little biased. I’ve found that looking for reviews across a few different, independent tech forums or communities often gives a more balanced picture. It’s awesome how you’re thinking critically about all the options out there!
