I’ve felt a presence in my room, and it detected it! So amazing ghost detector, I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — It works *2025-01-27, version 1.9* At first, I thought this app would be a scam, so I went to places in my house where I knew a presence was because I have that ability and it detected the presences right where I usually feel them. In my downstairs bathroom, there's a wanderer spirit that comes to visit and it detected his presence. In the cat room, there is a lady and it detected her presence as well. In the downstairs office, there is a man as well and it also detected his presence. There is also a man that followed me home from a haunted apartment and it detected his presence. The only thing im iffy about is the spirits age and the type of spirit, but the detection aspect works. ### 5/5 — Really Weird *2025-01-05, version 1.9* I downloaded it and I was scared. I was a Ghost Whisperer, but I still didn’t care. I opened the app, I know the ghosts won’t like it. Because I know what they were thinking, right in my brain. I looked around with the app, nothing was wrong! I soon found out something was! There was 3 ghosts in the house. I was shocked! But I said what could go wrong? I found the fourth ghost, and kicked me out? I was frightened in fear. I went back in, but nothing appeared! I guess there’s someone in here, who likes to get their privacy. But maybe worse than a sewage with rats in a cave full of bats. ### 5/5 — The best game *2024-12-30, version 1.9* This is a really great game for the free app and I would love it more than I love the new version of this app and it is so much better then I can go back to the new version it won’t get it to get back and then it is great and I get to go get back. ### 1/5 — Really do know for sure *2024-12-28, version 1.9* Do you know spiritual energy ? ### 5/5 — This ghost app works *2024-09-16* So my mother was communicating with a spirit and I wanted to see who she was talking to and who she could see so I put the GhostDetector on and I saw her yelling at the ghost. Take your hands off my pan and it was a big toll so yes, my mother was really talking to a ghost and that was a tall spirit so yes this detector works give it five stars and if I could give it, I would give it more but yes, this is true. You can communicate with spirits with this app and they should not ever discontinue this because this is pure genius, the spirit is very special. Yes, I do see spirits yes, and communicate with them without the Ghost Detector but I like to use the Ghost Detector too from Nicolasa Nicole ### 4/5 — Scary *2024-08-21, version 1.9* Scary to scary ### 3/5 — Pay for translate each use? *2024-08-12, version 1.9* Just downloaded and purchased spiritism and translate in the app. Translate worked once and asks me to purchase again. Do you have to part each time you use translate? Also, the app will just stop after a bit and I have to open it again to use. I’d love to use it but this is making it difficult. ### 4/5 — Good for fun *2024-07-26* Don’t get me wrong, I believe in spirits… just sorry but, this app is fake. I mean I have been reading reviews about people’s experiences with spirits. And let’s open our eyes here. Our devices are not programmed to detect spirits. Or BUILT to detect spirits. Like come on think about it. They made this game for 2 things: 1, to trick you, or 2 for a fun family game. Your device can’t do that. It can’t sense its surroundings, of the other side. Or the future. It’s built for apps, games, websites, tools, wether and stuff like that. It can’t detect spirits. The creators of this app programmed it to 1. Get access to your camera, 2. Put a “ spirit” in the picture, 3. Then add info about it. Like don’t let it fool you that easily. It’s a coincidence that someone or thing you knew passed and it’s saying it’s there. There could be paranormal activity, but the app can’t see it. It’s a fun game to get a thrilling sensation out of it… but not for real life… People are getting addicted to it and now they can’t sleep and stuff… cuz they could be scared. Thank you for understanding ### 5/5 — Is this real??? *2024-07-22, version 1.9* I got onto this app, and after a few minutes, I saw a ghost and it was pitch dark in the night and it freaked me out then I did it again, and there was a second ghost and then I felt stuff touching my leg then there’s a third one and then tons of things started touching me and I wasn’t even touching myself. Very creepy. ## Frequently asked questions about Ghost Observer ### What does Ghost Observer do?
