### 5/5 — Freaking out me and my friends

*2026-08-14*

I downloaded this app I was reading the reviews why on the app I said the word Robert why reading it and this app said Robert right after me me and my friends got creeped out and I still have this app today but some people think it fake but from this day we think it real bc we hear really creepy noise when we go to bed

### 4/5 — Had a super weird experience

*2026-07-25, version 3.3.8*

Every time I was in my house a red dot would appear behind which is weird because someone in my house had an attachment that was demonic and we had thought left after my home was saged but every time I saw that red dot and I repeated that I was protected it went away. I have no idea if it was just a glitch but I always found that super odd.

### 4/5 — Etched Into My Mind Forever

*2026-06-29, version 3.3.8*

Once, when I was a child, I visited the salt crystal caverns in Arizona. While on our tour, the tour guide was telling us stories of history, how the cave was discovered, and so on and so forth. As we winded down a steep path, a woman ahead of me asked, “Has anybody ever died in here?”
The guide was stark silent for a moment, before responding, “No; since it’s so dry in here, no organism can remain for a long period, so there are no records of a human dying in these caverns.” She held up her phone and said, “Because I have a ghost app, and it’s going nuts.”
Rest in peace, dad, who was on the trip with me. Maybe someday this app will catch you in a salt cavern, begging for beer.

### 5/5 — creepy sleepover

*2025-12-29, version 3.3.8*

we were down straits and it said tower and there was a tall football game and it had tools on it.After that it said tools which freaked us out. we went upstairs because we were scared and we started recording and it said creepy stuff like hello and folks we then heard screaming outside and it said fight

### 1/5 — App Glitches No Support

*2025-12-26*

Website opens a porn site. When you delete word lists, the app crashes. Repeats the same words. Programmed. It’s not authentic.

### 4/5 — its real

*2025-10-14, version 3.3.8*

if you are a skeptic, go to a cemetery and try it. I have used the app for years on android, now its on iOS , yay!

### 4/5 — Skeptic turned into a believer

*2025-09-27, version 3.3.8*

I’ve had this app for years and from time to time would use it for fun or out of curiosity, but I never had any words that made sense or made me believe this thing was real. Until recently, that’s is…
The floor in the dorms I’m living in is decorated in an “around the world” theme. Right outside of our door is the Union Jack flag hanging on the wall. My roommate and I were using this a few nights ago and after a few nonsense words, we had the words “British” immediately followed by “flag” come through. We got SO freaked out and exited out of the app immediately 🤣

### 5/5 — It’s real

*2025-07-29, version 3.3.8*

It was good and scary it’s so real it said Bronwyn which is the ghost that is haunting us

### 5/5 — Fun and creepy

*2025-05-18, version 3.3.8*

So I tried the Bloody Mary legend for this and then a little red dot appeared and it said KILL and the dot came from behind me and I turned around and nothing was there but then it said SOUL and I got really scared so I ran out of the room and then it said FOLLOWING and please pray for me that I am not haunted by Bloody Mary

### 4/5 — This app actually worked

*2025-05-08*

So originally I just thought it put random dots and said random words but then me and my BFF were doing it at her house, her cousin had died and she has a Teddy from him so we put the Teddy down with the phone and the dot was only moving near the Teddy and her, but then… because he was called John… the dot went directly the place the Teddy was and… it said the word… Johnny!
