You will initially land on the dashboard of FlexiSPY, and for monitoring the Keylogger activity, you have to switch to the Key Logs section of the app.

As you can see in the screenshot, all the keystrokes are systematically arranged app-wise. This prevents you from missing the important keystrokes.
