We went to a local cemetery to take pictures of historical head stones. We joked about seeing ghosts while we were there, but didn't see any....or so we thought! Thanks to this app, I now have a great picture of my teacher standing next to a floating little girl! So much fun and easy to use. ### 4/5 — Add more effects please *2016-03-06, version 1.9* Good but I need more please! ### 2/5 — Almost perfect *2015-12-21, version 1.9* Some great images and simple to use. It's a shame the saved images have the toggle button (bottom right) saved along with the image. This makes it obvious the ghost has been added. ### 5/5 — super cool *2015-11-13, version 1.9* way fun to scare friends! ### 5/5 — It freaks me out *2015-11-11* It freaks me out because I am only 10 and they look like real ghosts I have seen before.I mean like stop making scary games hurls! ### 1/5 — won't do much *2015-10-31, version 1.9* great selection of ghosts but then nothing worked. couldn't save the pic. it just kept freezing up after i placed and sized my ghost. ### 1/5 — wake up *2015-10-27, version 1.9* doesn't work. Frozen buttons. No options. Please address. Less than one week. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-01-14, version 1.9* Just a plain white screen. Not worth the 0p I paid for it. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Save Photos *2016-10-24* I can add one of the paltry dozen or so "spooky" images to a photo, but none of the buttons work. I can only rescale the added effect and use the slider to make it more translucent. Otherwise, nothing works and I have to force close the app. Deserves zero stars for the single most important function of an image editing app (saving) not working. Either this is a bug that affects certain individuals or a lot of these reviews are fake. ### 1/5 — Crap! *2016-09-24, version 1.9* When I use the camera it gives me a blank screen App kept asking me to pay for the ghost effects that I already paid for then it froze up while trying to add ghost to my picture. Deleted the app Garbage I want my money back ### 1/5 — Only 13 free ones & poor quality *2016-08-16, version 1.9* There just aren't enough quality images for the free version to encourage me to buy more. One of them still has the borders visible off the original pic rendering it useless, another is cut so bad it looks like a collage when you add it. In fact there's only a couple of any use. There are no static images eg crucifix, they're all beings. Again, limited thinking. You can look at the 64 images to buy in 'extra package' but most also have the snip outlines round them or are contrived Disney like colour photos of people wearing zombie fancy dress. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — The additional effects didn't sow up *2016-07-05, version 1.9* I purchased more ghost effects and received a receipt from the Apple Store for the purchase but didn't receive the effects.. Instead, I'm getting the following message: "Transaction Failed! You failed to buy More Ghost Effects, Try it later." ### 1/5 — Fix bugs *2016-05-25, version 1.9* Opens and that's about it.... ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2016-03-01, version 1.9* Opens and then crashes. Last update in 2014. No wonder! ### 1/5 — Trash *2016-02-18, version 1.9* Enough said! ### 1/5 — What a pile of junk *2016-01-10, version 1.9* Great idea but it's horribly executed. Nonstop spam and redirection to other apps when it's not freezing up ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-11-03, version 1.9* It doesn't let me hit any of the buttons on the top to save it or anything. :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Creep gastric *2016-12-30, version 1.9* Haaaaaaa ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-10-15, version 1.9* U can change the transparency of the ghost it is amazing!!! 5/5 ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-08-22, version 1.9* I love it it works great but can u please please please please add extra more I'm a girl who luvs spooks I hope you see this and u did a great job on this app👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😀😀😀😀😀😀 ### 5/5 — Ghost thing *2016-07-30, version 1.9* Add a bleeding ghost demon ### 5/5 — Cool *2016-07-21, version 1.9* Awesome app ### 5/5 — Bruh😂👏👍 *2016-06-10, version 1.9* I pulled a prank on an old friend by taking a picture of him and put a ghost in the background and he flipped😂. Love the app. ### 5/5 — It's alright *2016-05-01, version 1.9* It's alright ### 5/5 — Cig txt *2016-03-21, version 1.9* This APIs awesome. Tip: lower the visibility to make it more realistic ### 5/5 — Creepy *2016-01-03* I think this game is fun and creepy at the same time. I want to do a trick on my family next Halloween and I'd like to use this app but I don't have every all the all of the little ghost effects that are on there. ### 5/5 — Realy good *2015-11-27, version 1.9* This app is really good got no problems and ads don't pop up every 5 seconds witch a lot of apps have --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
