It works if u know how to use it. I have tricked my mom and dad and brother then something was wrong with their tv. They got so scared but when they found out it was me I got in trouble 😂😂 so if u have mean parents I think this would be a bad idea to trick them. Luckily my parents thought it was funny and do it to me all the time! Hope u have fun with this app and trick a lot of people
