### 5/5 — Magnificent

*2026-01-10, version 1.5*

This is the absolute best motion tracker from Aliens

### 2/5 — Pulse sound is nothing like the movie

*2025-11-05, version 1.5*

Cool idea, but the sound of the pulse of the motion tracker is just as important as the whistle of the contact.

### 5/5 — Nice little app!

*2025-08-30*

This is just a novelty app that recreates the sound and visual appearance of the motion tracker from the film Aliens.

It rotates perfectly as you move it around, and creates alien 'targets' when you tap the screen. The targets move slowly towards the center and beep in a higher pitch as they do (the approach speed can be adjusted).

For fans of the film it's a great gag to pull while walking out in the woods in the dark., because the sound is instantly recognizable!

Only addition I would recommend is that as you tap more aliens on screen, the pinging sound should also multiply. That and a 'random mode' which will create targets automatically!

### 5/5 — Perfect for motion tracker

*2025-04-10*

This year my son and I are planning out Halloween in an aliens /sci-fi theme.   An excuse to play with home assistant and house automation as we add some flair to the sci-fi decorations.   

This app once I put the iPad mini into a gizmo that looks like the movie will pairs naturally with the spyra water guns we have they look like the assault rifles that the marines used in aliens (and halo).

My only ask for future would be to leverage the “find me” devices app.  Not sure if that’s possible but I’d love to walk around looking for my EarPod with this app guiding me.

### 4/5 — Need a Sentry Gun control mode.

*2024-12-04*

Neat, I also like the previous reviewer’s AirTag tracker idea.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-11-26*

This is actually so cool for alien fans, you should add more options though like changing the color or the background maybe to match it more and maybe show them running at you for certain ones or something this is such a cool idea though you should make it allow to track your AirTags and other stuff too!!

### 5/5 — PRAISE BE THE INTERNET

*2024-10-20*

I’m doing an Alien themed one-shot campaign tomorrow, and this app existing is why all yall fellow nerds on the internet are the best 🙌

### 5/5 — Feature request

*2024-09-06*

This app “Let’s Rock!”   I would like to use this app to locate my AirTags.  Is there a way that you can support that feature?   This is such a cool app for fans of Aliens.

### 5/5 — I never rate apps but…

*2024-08-21*

I’ll make an exception for this one. Super simple but super cool. Just subtly tap the screen and a contact will appear to be baring down on you. There is even a tiny x in the lower right so you can clear the scanner.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work!

*2024-08-18*

Paid and downloaded the app but doesn’t play sound at all? Redownloaded it and check my phone settings. Please fix!
