MPK is master public key of your HD wallet. You can share it with others but that will decrease your privacy because people having your MPK can see all your transactions linked to that wallet.

Sharing your MPK with that wallet is fine too but if you value your privacy, then its probably not a good idea as we don't know whether the developer is monitoring our transactions or not.

Don't ever share your seed with anyone else!

This application stopped working some months ago.
It still works with an individual bitcoin address but not with an MPK.
If you find my post useful send some Bitcoin: 167XM1Za8aG9CdbYuHFMpL2kvPsw6uC8da

You can use the blockchain app(android or IOS) for watch on a address.
You can receive on your email every transaction,make from a  bitcoin address.
