Questions, answered plainly

Yes. Scanning files, reading reports, voting and commenting are completely free and require no account. The site is supported by advertising.

Any type — documents (PDF, Word, Excel), programs and executables, archives (ZIP, RAR), scripts, images and Android APKs. Every file is checked against malware signatures and structural red flags; Android APKs additionally get deep app analysis: permissions, certificate and code inspection.

No. SpyApp runs entirely in your browser — you upload a file and our servers analyze it. Nothing is ever installed on your device.

APK (Android Package) is the file format Android apps are distributed in. When you download an app outside the Play Store — from a website, forum or chat message — you receive an APK file.

Verdicts combine dozens of detection engines, permission analysis and certificate checks. No scanner is perfect: a Safe verdict means no known indicators were found, not an absolute guarantee. Always prefer official app stores when possible.

The file isn't confirmed malware, but it shows risky traits: permissions beyond its purpose, aggressive ad/tracking SDKs, or an unexpected signing certificate. Read the report details before deciding.

Not directly — we scan APK files. You can export an installed app's APK with a backup tool and upload it, or search our database for the app's name to find existing reports.

Yes. Scans don't require an account, uploads are dissociated from your identity, and files are kept only as automated threat-research samples. See our privacy policy for details.

100 MB per file. That covers the vast majority of documents, programs and Android apps.

Commercial spyware marketed as 'phone monitoring' or 'parental control' but often abused to secretly track partners — reading messages, recording calls and reporting GPS location. Detecting it is a core focus of SpyApp.

Scan any suspicious APKs you can find, review apps with accessibility or device-admin access, and consider a factory reset. If you're concerned for your safety, contact local support organizations before removing the app — removal can alert the person who installed it.

Yes — use the comment section on the file's report page, vote, or contact us directly. Community reports feed back into our detection quality.

You can upload an IPA like any other file and it will be checked against malware signatures and structural red flags. Deep iOS-specific app analysis (like we do for Android APKs) is not available yet.
