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 ### 4/5 — Few questions and btw this is not that bad *2023-12-05, version 1.9* This application may bring bad vibes into your house because you are installing scary games. I have questions, is this application just for entertainment or is it reality and are there spirits in your house? I don't think it's true because otherwise the spirits would be bothering me and my family. We have been Christians since I was born and we have kept our house with good vibes so I think this is not even real so don't be scared and my review is 4. ### 5/5 — Creepy *2023-10-29, version 1.9* Very nice and scary game. For some reason, whenever I turn to face the ghost the game crashes? It creeps me out. But amazing game though. ### 5/5 — The best *2023-10-26, version 1.9* I’ve been ghost hunting for years. I’ve used many contraptions. This is by far the most effective ghost hunting piece of equipment today. ### 5/5 — Omg i love scary things (so I downloaded it) *2023-10-18, version 1.9* And a ghost is watching tv lol 😂 ### 5/5 — Lots of ghosts *2023-10-10, version 1.9* I’ve already found to ghosts in my room and one of them said revenge but bro I’m only 11 years old and I’ve done nothing. I wonder if the home owners did something to them cause I saying that I’ve done nothin. I didn’t even think about ghosts in my room keep in mind it’s a very small room so I don’t know but that’s probably why I hear light switches at night while I’m awake. And seriously if it is just because my room is messy I think they have a problem sooooo I don’t no what’s going on here?. ### 5/5 — Very creepy *2023-09-14* I’m not sure if anyone else experienced this but back in 2014 I downloaded this app to just play around with and joke around with my sibling about it. (Mind you I haven’t thought about this experience that I had until today just remembering back then. I literally had to scroll through my apps back in 2014 just to find this app again) So going back to my story I was going around my house looking at different things to see if there were ghosts (I didn’t think this app was real or anything so I was just laughing it off as a young teen would). Back then you didn’t have to pay for the translation stuff so I was like oh this is pretty cool. I probably spent about an hour on this app and then I decided to delete it. 2 days later after I deleted the app, I was looking through my iPhone and saw there was a new voice memo. I listened to it over and over as I couldn’t really understand the first time. I remember being so freaked out (literally crying and shaking) it sounded like a demonic voice saying my first name. I showed my mom and she immediately told me to delete it, you could see on her face that she was also freaked out. I don’t know if this had anything to do with the app or what but I never experienced anything like this until I downloaded it back in 2014. ### 5/5 — Real *2023-08-15, version 1.9* I like to look at ghost apps and this app is real ### 5/5 — Help! *2023-08-11, version 1.9* This app is real so let me explain basically I got on it and saw one then it kicked me off then I went back on it it showed the same ghost at the same spot then I wen where it was and it suddenly got cold and it kicked me off again then I went away from it and it got normal again and I cold again turn on my iPadits true ### 5/5 — I was super scared *2023-08-08, version 1.9* I found a 924 year old ghost sitting next to me 😬 and it was a enteral? Soul and then there was a 54 year old ghost stirring to my right who was a friendly ghost so I just smiled at them lol 😂. Part 2:My grandma died earlier this year 😭so on a Monday when my grandma and grandad used to pick me up from school my grandad still does I will Check to see if I can find her I will let you know if I do!!! I am freaked out now lol . ### 2/5 — Meh *2023-07-29, version 1.9* Fun when it’s working, but the app crashes constantly and “spiritualism” feature never works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ### 3/5 — Ummm *2023-07-29, version 1.9* I got the game and I was pretty chill about it and after playing with it for a few days I decided to delete it but a day after I deleted it it came back so I deleted it again and the next day it came back.The game might not be scary but it coming back is ### 4/5 — This isn’t real right?! *2023-07-21, version 1.9* I was using the app and I saw many ghost in my room, This is a lie right?! A app can’t tell me a ghost is in my room! Help😭😭😭 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Really do know for sure *2024-12-28, version 1.9* Do you know spiritual energy ? ### 1/5 — Really guys? *2023-12-03, version 1.9* You people do know this is just a game you people pay extra for, right? These are not “real” encounters. The developer just prays upon your skepticism ### 1/5 — I LITERALLY BOUGHT IT and it deleted my purchases *2023-10-30, version 1.9* do not recommend ### 1/5 — I’m scared *2023-08-03, version 1.9* Hi I’m 9 and I saw a ghost and it was 743 yrs old it’s super scary don’t download ### 1/5 — Fake read this *2023-07-26, version 1.9* I was in the dr office with NO deaths and a skinny person ghost was staring at the phone and I pulled up another app and nothing showed up so this app is fake do not download this app wasted 1 Minute of my life ### 1/5 — Fake *2023-07-19, version 1.9* My house isn’t even 200 years old and there’s a 200 year old ghost ### 1/5 — 100% Fake *2023-07-11, version 1.9* The ghost doesn’t even move and it goes in walls why would it be in my front ward too? And. it follows you when you use it so it’s fake ### 1/5 — Nope *2023-05-15, version 1.9* As an honest reviewer, I can say, without any certain of a doubt that this app is 100% fake I have no idea why everyone has said in the comment great app so spooky. This is false a free app even if you want special upgrades in it will never be honest. So save your time and get a better app. ### 1/5 — Fix it *2022-12-23, version 1.9* I paid for the translation and to unlock spiritism responses and its not working. Its asking me buy them again. Even after restoring the purchase and it doesn’t fix it. I have also tried closing and opening the app, restarting my phone, deleting and reinstalling app and nothing. Please fix it! ### 1/5 — I got scared fr *2022-12-21, version 1.9* yall dont play wit this app i seen the same ghost 3 times and then my app closed im serious yall. i was gettin onto the ghost trynna scare me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing ghost detector *2025-04-27, version 1.9* I used this app at a very haunted place, and it detected several spirits, including one saying something about a gate, of which, was also in the location, and another said, “Free them”, so again, thought was fake, but it detected another thing. 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — This app is not fake *2024-06-25, version 1.9* I was experiencing strange things in my house I downloaded this app and payed the 2$ it was worth it I spoke to a spirit who had latched onto me I prayed to God to get it away from me and the ghost left ### 5/5 — CREPPY *2024-06-04, version 1.9* I was sitting in my car alone and I decided to pull up this app to be funny, so when I was waiting for it to find a signal, it found a ghost and the ghost said “affectionate” then the car alarm immediately went off.. I wasn’t pressing anything and then I turned it off and locked the car…. A few seconds after the car lights flashed on and off… I’m so creeped out😅 a while later it turned off the radio.. this game is no joke… be careful yall ### 5/5 — AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! NO! *2024-01-08, version 1.9* I saw a ghost and he looked like he was sad. Poor guy. :( ### 5/5 — Omg *2023-11-04, version 1.9* Hi this is real no joke! My papa just died 2 yeas ago and my grandpa died to and my ant died! And I don’t no if it’s them.
