Neat idea - however…
The RR-DR60 was a little too good at picking up EVP - always class B or C at best, however never class A.
The mic on the DR60 was prone to proximity effect — resulting in distorted lows and what sounded like a man screaming into the recorder.
The mic’s preamp had a high level of self-noise, poor SNR, which contributed to adding digital artifacts that could sound like whispers.
The A2D converter was low-resolution quantization noise, resulting in non-linear clipping.
The buffering suffered from memory dropouts during writing to the onboard storage which resulted in micro stuttering.
The flash memory was prone to playback issues which could introduce glitches in the audio out.
In addition to unstable ripple and preamp noise, EMI clock bleeding into the mic chain.
So while I respect your idea — surely you (developer) must know the history of the RR-DR60 and the fact it is nothing more than an early IC recorder that suffered from a large amount of flaws.
And if one wants to ask from a paranormal angle — why would a spirit communicate better with this model than others? This makes no sense.
The only truly unexplainable EVP occurs on analog tape, which does not suffer from things such as low quality A2D converters and quantization noise, or quantization noise.
People take this EVP/ITC business very seriously, I use to clean audio of mothers who lost their kids to suicide or car accidents. Please don’t make apps like this when you know it’s snake oil.

Response from developer
Thanks for purchasing our app and taking the time to review it, Cliff! You bring up a number of good points. No, it definitely is not a fake app. The ER70 app differs from other ghost hunting apps, in that you are never guaranteed to get results. It does not fake evidence by inserting audio where there is none. It legit emulates the recording process in the original device, which has astonished us with the evidence we've recorded as well. If you feel like sharing your evidence we'd love to hear your recording. Just send it to our support email address at the bottom of our web page (www.er70app.com). Thanks again for purchasing our app and for the review!
