I turn it to the left and it goes down. I turn it to the right and it goes up. I turn in a circle and it goes down then back up in the same spot, the bedroom door behind me, spikes for over 10 seconds, then goes dead. Who's watching me? ### 4/5 — Not scary. But very surprising! *2016-09-04, version 1.8* Sometimes I use it at home. I pick up some "ghosts" but they go away. On a trip to the Gettysburg battlefield, the meter was spiking fully the whole entire time I been there. Interesting! ### 3/5 — A serious investigation tool❓❓ *2015-05-05* Had several very surprising experiences with this app which did NOT appear related to possible sources of EMF's in the direct environment. Intend confirmatory investigation & comparative testing to ascertain if this is a serious tool for paranormal research or for "entertainment" only... ### 3/5 — Ghost o metre *2014-06-12* Good devise,but upgrade and get the Ghost o Graft.works great.awesome pictures.ive tried a few others and had to delete. ### 4/5 — It works! *2014-05-07* This app is 100% real but the only problem is u cant use it without wifi can this be the next update if so i would give it 5 star ### 5/5 — Creepy *2014-03-09, version 1.5* I have been having a lot of WERID things going around in my house. And when I walk near the door where things been going on a lot. IT WENT UP TO 100%. Before I was with my friend. And we were doing just dance. We were having fun and all. ALL OF A SUDEN!!! We both see a big mass of a man!! We both ran upstairs and his under my bed!!! That was the scariest day of my LIFE!! 😫😭🙀🙀🙀🙀 ### 5/5 — OMG *2013-12-29* I checked it imediantly and it turns out I have 1 ghost in my living room so cool!!! ### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!!!!! *2013-12-23, version 1.5* This app allows me to know my doggie ad grandfather and cousin is still with me. The light got super bright when I went over to my dogs old bed. When I went over to where I saw my cousins ghost the needle went up and when I went to my grandpas ash box it got super bright. I live knowing they are still with me. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-10-21* When I used this, I felt a little chill. I also detected that a 'ghost' was rght in front of my face. So if it gives you chill, does that mean that it's real? ### 5/5 — True stuff *2013-09-28* This actually works!!! ### 5/5 — WOW *2013-09-19* This app works because every time I point it into my grandma room it goes off! ### 5/5 — Proof that it works *2013-09-14, version 1.5* First off, I downloaded this app with mixed feelings. I wasn't sure if it was fake or went off at random moments. But after a while of just sitting with it on, it still wasn't moving (and there wasn't anything going on, or any strange activity lately). Then I started wondering- if someone made this app to randomly move, it would've moved by now. I haven't tested it in many different locations yet. But I believe it works. For all of those critics out there, I came up with a comparison to show that this can work. Ouija boards can help to communicate with spirits. Do ouija boards "detect electromagnetic"? No- in fact ouija boards can even be made on paper and work, and some are cardboard. There needs to be energy and you need to be focused for a ouija board to work. If a piece of cardboard can contact spirits, what makes you think an iPod tracker can't do it too? ### 5/5 — Just me *2013-08-05, version 1.5* I gave it 5 stars simply bcause it is FUN (not because it is real because I seriously doubt that it is an indicator of spirits. Why not pay 99cents just 4 the fun)....I see why that one person was being a wiseass saying a ghost escaped at the cemetary. Look: This is fun but it CAN'T B REAL PEOPLE! Seriously! I am totally interested in the Paranormal. I live in a place in which there IS a ton of activity. I used this just 4 fun. I went in2 the room that is one of the hotspots. In a time frame of less than 5 minutes (4 of which were in that room), it detected 4 ghosts. One supposedly "escaped" so 5 counting that one. It is NOT that easy to detect activity! This is fun but NOT REAL or accurate. Besides I hardly need a EMF (real or otherwise) to tell me that there is activity EVERYWHERE. No matter where you go, I can assure U, there R Spirits & Spirit activity. I ought to know. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sad *2020-01-27, version 1.8* Sad ### 1/5 — X2 charge? *2019-07-07, version 1.8* Why did I have a $1.07 removed from my card on the 4th of July Adrian? ### 1/5 — NO SUCH THING AS GHOSTS!!!!!! *2014-01-01* if there were ghosts wouldn't scientists have found them yet? They have been searching since the early 1700's ### 1/5 — Yeahhh noooo *2013-10-24* I want my dollar back... Hahaha seriously... 😪 ### 1/5 — I was hoping, BUT this is a true fake *2013-09-15, version 1.5* Like many I truly like the idea of "ghost detecting apps". I really was hoping this would work, BUT IT IS A FAKE. With your iPad in your hand begin to rotate your device like a clock with this app open. You will begin to notice a trend of when you supposedly "detect a ghost". I took my iPad to work and had my friends do as I just described and they had the same trend. Now to bring the testing to the next level, five of my friends bought this app for their iPads. Again when they rotated their iPad in their own hands they got the same "ghost detection". A friend of mine who is a parapsychologist at a University with a background in engineering has total me that "Ghost detection" using the electronics of an iPad is simply impossible. He told me if it were possible then he and his lab should just throw out their 10s of 1000s of dollars of high-tech detection equipment and use their iPads. In other words people, save your money and do not buy this app unless everyone is bored at a party your at. ### 1/5 — Lol *2013-09-13* Was laying in bed and tried this out, it said there was a ghost at my crotch. Lul ok then. ### 1/5 — Fake *2013-07-29* Good price , but sadly like most other ghost apps on here , it's just a gimmick . Just by reading the creators little haunted story , is enough to tell you this thing is not a real serious ghost finding app. It basically seems to find ghosts where everywhere you go . It's extremely unreliable , not to be taken seriously, and by no means does it incorporate all of the iPhones sensors to make it a more reliable ghost finding app. It's just basically a fake ( mildly amusing to your friends ) fake ghost app. ### 1/5 — Boring *2013-01-01* Lol so fake so boring lolololololololololololololol what a waste of time lol :( ### 1/5 — metal sets this off *2012-12-27* Doesn't work. Metal e.g. keys, dog tags, cutlery sets this thing off like crazy. ### 1/5 — This is so dumb ghost r for baby's *2012-12-21* :( this was disappointing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow *2018-12-30, version 1.8* I have always felt like I was being watched inside my home, and I always get prickles on the top of my head, or the feeling of someone lightly brushing my hair with their fingertips. My family has experienced this sensation as well. I downloaded this app for fun. I was disappointed at first because nothing happened when I went full circle around the room, where this sensation normally occurs. Then I pointed upwards, and the radar went off directly above me. I moved it away for about a minute and tried again, and it went off again. Wow. Why is it above, and not on the ground? Hmmm. ### 5/5 — Updates *2016-09-07, version 1.8* Can you please update this app for iPhone 6 and 6 plus ### 5/5 — I very Hery haunted *2016-06-24, version 1.8* It tell me I haunted. I Schream like little sheep girl. Baaahheeeee. I shee losh of ghosts and deemons now ### 5/5 — Omg so creepy *2016-04-15* This app is real i swear because i have a friend who has a pop that died and we went into his house and it went off its head ! It is real definitely download! ### 5/5 — scary *2015-11-06, version 1.8* used this in my mom's room and i wanted to communicate with it by saying go away in Indonesian because I'm from indonesia anywayy the lights went on and the phone started vibrating not long enough it stops to zero persent. it was scarryy ### 5/5 — Woah😳😭😥😰 *2015-03-30, version 1.7* Wow I still can not believe that this it legit!! So this app sends Evp waves out of your microphone to detect magnetic desturpences in the air. So here is my experience! Me and a couple of my friends went to my other friends row house in DC , we went up stairs and the meter go really high. We went in a very dark old room and the door slammed behind us!! We all ran downstairs, after that we fled the house !! This is the first real ghost detector on the App Store!!! ### 5/5 — FLIPPED ME OUT!!!!!!!😱 *2015-03-05, version 1.7* Okay so I had just gotten the app about an hour ago, and I use it at exactly midnight.U was sitting with my mom and I point it up towards eu attic and It shines SO bright. It keeps shining for a few minutes and then all of a sudden, it shoots back down and the radar turns off. My mom honks i went crazy but I know what I saw on my screen. She might say there are no ghosts in my house, but I know now for sure that that isn't the case. I now know for sure that I truly believe in ghosts😱😱😱😱😱 FLIPPED ME OUT!!!!!! ### 5/5 — GhostEnthusiest *2014-11-03, version 1.7* Works - not random at all. You can either get a hit on the meter or there could be nothing. When you come across a "spirit" it will let you know and it will go crazy - how I know it works is because you can move your phone away from that spot and it will go crazy again at that same exact spot every time (except for when they move) I've had many ghosts detected and many who "escape" - it's really cool how it vibrates and a little bell alarm goes off when ghosts are detected. There is no way that the phone could track its position to remember exactly where it went off (spirit detection) when you are scanning a room and have it go off in same areas as before. I've used it in conjunction with a ghost radar and it confirms the presence of the found ghost . ### 5/5 — Omg It is accurate! *2014-06-21, version 1.5* I had the intention that this app was going to be a joke but then I was in the bathroom and I waved the sensor over this old antique cabinet we have and the thing went crazy. I took it away repeatedly and it dropped and only rose when in the vicinity of the cabinet. The bathroom light started to flicker a bit and I freaked out. Then just as quick as it started the meter dropped off and the light stopped flickering and brightened back up! Freaky! ### 5/5 — Unbelievable *2014-04-03* I was in my lounge and I noticed that the time was the exact time that my grandad had passed away, I looked at the reader and everything was full power! I also found an old picture of him that was taken in my house, I went the place it was taken. It showed nothing but my friend pointed out that I was stood were the person taking the picture would've been, she turned me around and it went from nothing to everything full power!!!! We asked yes and no questions that only he would know the answer to and said 'full power for yes, and nothing for no' and when I asked the personal questions they were all answered correctly, we didn't move a muscle. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
