That’s just odd... I checked to see if it was just a permission I missed but nope. The only permission is that if the microphone... please fix this and I will raise my star rating. ### 4/5 — Does not work at all with the voiceover screen reader *2020-09-23, version 1.08* After listening to several videos on YouTube of this app, I decided to get it for myself. However, this app does not work at all when using the voiceover screen reader built into the iPhone. Please consider fixing this accessibility issue in your next update. ### 3/5 — Pretty alright *2020-07-18* The app has a bug where if the microphone isn’t on none of the other channels will work ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2020-06-16* Keeps crashing over and over again , this app needs an update. ### 2/5 — Not real *2020-05-27, version 1.08* It is just a bunch of words and it repeats what I say over and over. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2019-12-21* Everything about this app is awesome except for one thing, the sound is coming from my top speaker and I can barely hear it. Since I can’t hear very well this app is pretty much useless to me. Is there a way to change speakers? **Developer response:** The only thing I can think of is to connect an external Bluetooth or wired speaker. These are pretty cheap these days and can really boost the output on old phones or in situations where there is a lot of ambient noise. ### 3/5 — Mic problem *2019-12-14* Hi, every time I turn on the Mic it kicks me out. I downloaded the app twice to see if that would correct the problem but it does the same thing. I tried opening the Mic without opening any of the channels but it still kicks me out. At this point nothing seems to work. Will you please fix this annoying problem? **Developer response:** Hi. Sorry you are experiencing a problem. Can you give me more information to help track it down? What phone/tablet and OS are you using? What mic are you using? Here is my discord support channel: https://discord.gg/gzwrcfY ### 2/5 — Skepticism about this App *2019-12-05* Downloaded about a month ago and have been playing with it for about a month. My observations: I’ve played with the tools to change the way the sounds come through. One thing I’ve noticed the scan time on a channel is long that you can hear sentences from the channels at times. So that of course isn’t helpful when it’s supposed to scan so fast that you can’t make out words. The thing that makes me think this is BS is the fact my airplane mode is on, wifi and cell signal are deactivated and the app still scans radio stations. How is that possible without a connection to the radio signals without the use of wifi or cellular? **Developer response:** The app does not need a signal as it does not scan radio waves. Instead it uses completely random speech fragments. It is a similar idea to EVP via scanning through radio stations but eliminates much of the excess noise generated by ghost boxes of type. ### 4/5 — A few issues that need attention and some adjustments done *2019-11-06* Issue with getting thrown out of app and when turning on gate, it doesn’t work correctly. Had to use external speaker to hear what’s being said correctly. Keeps repeating same thing over and over. Saying turn off app. Worked decently for me the first few days. I think there’s a few kinks that need to be fixed like being thrown out of app after a short period of time and turning down some of the sounds within the app cause it overpowers the spirits when they are speaking at times. I think a little adjusting and a quick fix would make the app better to interpret what the spirits are saying **Developer response:** Thanks for the review and feedback! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2019-09-17, version 1.0* Great app Keith! It’s my favorite so far! ### 5/5 — I’m a believer *2019-08-25, version 1.0* So I just downloaded this app and I only use one channel at a time and I said I came in peace and as a friend and a voice said Thank You! I am enjoying this app. Also I have watched a few YouTube unsolved murders and I asked my spirit guides to help me find the victim. I then asked who did the crimes and the female victim said the two names responsible and those two names were also in the video. I am thankful for this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 英語やフランス語など *2023-07-29* 外国語ばかり聞こえて笑いました。 きれはおもちゃです。 ### 1/5 — It’s fake!!! *2023-02-10* I just downloaded it and was pretty open and hopefully. It’s just pre recorded voices and was sounds like someone walking through grass and sticks. So annoying that I wasted money. I wonder if I can get a refund. Such a waste. Don’t do it!!! ### 1/5 — It’s fake!!! *2022-06-08, version 1.08* I just downloaded it and was pretty open and hopefully. It’s just pre recorded voices and was sounds like someone walking through grass and sticks. So annoying that I wasted money. I wonder if I can get a refund. Such a waste. Don’t do it!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2022-02-07* Another app that doesn't work, that uses the same database as the others. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — They E͟͟V͟͟E͟͟S͟͟D͟͟R͟͟O͟͟P͟͟ O͟͟N͟͟ U͟͟S͟͟!!! *2021-04-25* So What’s up with saying you share our info with certain 3rd parties you will list on the bottom of your website and yet... YӨЦ ᑎEᐯEᖇ ᗪO?!?! ᗯᕼEᖇE ᗩᖇE TᕼEY?? ᗯᕼO ᗩᖇE TᕼEY?!?! Your app does some messed up eaves dropping ᗯITᕼOᑌT permission & YOᑌ ᑎEEᗪ TO ᗩᑎ𝐒ᗯEᖇ! How do you people think they are answering you so accurately??? 🙄🤔 ### 1/5 — Not a good app *2020-05-16, version 1.08* Hi to the developers of thus app good day I’m feeling upset about my purchase Seriously I wasted my money and would like a refund please and thank you bc this app is in no way a legit app . I feel cheated . Lesson learn . I guess . ### 1/5 — 👎🏻 *2020-02-13, version 1.0* $10.99 is a lot to pay to touch a button in the app just to have it crash. Literally JUST bought it!!! ### 1/5 — No longer works *2020-01-18* It used to work wonderfully but now all it does is a delayed playback of myself asking questions repeatedly. I tried the app support buttons but it just sent me to check out everyone’s sites. **Developer response:** It sounds like you have the microphone button in the audio tab turned on. Make sure this is off and make sure other channels are turned on. Also make sure your scan rate is not set too low. Lastly, make sure your mute/vibrate switch is turned off. ### 1/5 — Big Fake *2019-08-11, version 1.0* Don’t bother getting this app. It’s a big fake. I can’t even catch evidence with this stupid app. I’m so done using this app. Don’t get it. It’s just a toy for people to play with. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Fake *2019-07-15, version 1.0* This app has instant chatter from the minute you turn it on. Only fragmented things. Never a response or fully formed word. Save your money. VERY disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-09-06* Have been using for years and I figured out the right tuning to be able to speak clearly with my best friend. Works much better than other apps ### 5/5 — It works *2025-02-18* First you have to have patience as it takes time for spirits to learn how to use it as with all apps and spirit boxes. And you MUST record every session and listen back carefully as you will hear reply’s that will shock you ### 5/5 — Its a great app. *2023-01-13* I think people need to understand that the prerecorded words are there for a reason. It's how a spirit box works. Because the words get thrown in reverse, the spirits use them to from words. ### 5/5 — ☺️ *2022-04-26* Love this app! It works! I can hear my dad through the app, his name came up, and some others I know! Thanks!💗 ### 5/5 — Don’t listen to the negative reviews! *2021-04-22* Lots of reviews for this app are calling it fake, saying that they don’t get anything coming through etc. I don’t think people realize just because you want to communicate with spirits doesn’t mean it will happen. This is an amazing app for spirit communication. The sound bank and different frequencies and channels is perfect. Sometimes spirits don’t want to talk, and they won’t just talk with anyone. You would experience the same with ANY paranormal device. For $11 you are getting something well worth the money. It takes lots of time and patience to get evidence of spirits. I’ve been working with spirits for years now and sometimes I’ll get lots of voices, other times nothing. It’s not always consistent but it’s not just this app!! I’ve gotten multiple recordings using it and direct and intelligent communication as well. Don’t give up on trying. ### 5/5 — Fascinating App! *2021-02-17* I have sensed spirits around me ever since I can remember. This app allowed me to communicate directly. Some pointers on using this app: 1 use screen record and listen back in headphones. Slow down! 2 Don’t make your recordings more than 10 mins or screen record can bug out and not record. 3 Don’t use the microphone or your own voice will dominate on the recording. This is absolutely real! They know where I am, (they will say “in the kitchen”, for example ), they know what’s going on in my life, speak languages that I speak...etc. I found some darker spirits that say mean things and try to scare me, but there are others too. The more I connect, the more they connect, the more I understand. They also mention conversations I had through the day w family and comment. I just wish I could find people who want to talk about this. ### 5/5 — Love this app, it works *2020-11-18* Love this app it works I have connected with so many direct responses and use this all the time. Best ghost app out there. Only thing I could say that would make it better if you put a real time slow down method where it slows down their speech and makes their speech more drawn out to understand a little bit better. Never seen any app have real time slow down that would be an amazing addition to this app. ### 5/5 — Stellar!! *2020-04-11* This app is by far the best app to use for spirit communication! I have been an avid user of Necrophonics and Spiritus for a good while, however, this app is my go-to first now! Great job creating this easy to use app!! ### 5/5 — The app works great but *2020-01-21* Is there a way to talk to one ghost at a time or to speak longer with one . I want to get a slower rate so I can make out what there saying and how does this work. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I’m glad you like it so far and for sure you can adjust the response rate. To do this simply dial down the scan rate dial at the bottom in the audio tab. Hope this helps! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-12-20* This app so far is amazing. First time I used it I connected and had a two way conversation with spirit. Love that it cuts out the static and the voices come over very clear. You need a connection to spirit to use this app. So those that call it fake have no idea how to use it properly! It is not a toy. Thank you for another amazing app. 😊💗 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
