But this app, IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!! I don’t know how they did it but WOW! It does detect electro magnetic fields. If you are looking for an EMF reader app, this is the one. Would recommend. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Okay… but actually *2021-08-26, version 2.1* So, me and my friend decided to play around with this app as a joke, and I have a music box that is known for doing strange things (connecting to tv remote, playing by itself, etc). And we decided to put the phone up to the music box speaker and it suddenly spiked to 520, and occasionally 1400, which I didn’t even know was possible. Overall, app is really well made in the first place, and works really smoothly. ### 5/5 — It works! *2021-08-14, version 2.1* I love using this app with my friends to have fun and be scared. I believe that this works but I don’t know what it measures from? Like the camera speakers or something else? I have an iPad 7th generation and don’t know what it measures from! Please reply ASAP p.s thank you ### 5/5 — I’m impressed! *2021-05-20, version 2.1* I tested this with a microwave then a tv, I then turned off all circuit breakers and found that my suspensions are correct my place has paranormal activity! The EMF spiked to 200 when it was an inch away from the middle part very close to the right side edge then I slowly moved this to the middle of the bed and EMF field dropped to 34 remember all my circuit breakers are still off! When i turned them back on My baseline is 50 ### 5/5 — Has me curious *2021-03-22, version 2.1* The app itself does exactly what it says it will do. Paranormal investigators use all sorts of different electronic devices, so why wouldnt this work as well. Also, I have noticed that it really depends on your energy. If you are negative, you will get nada! But if you are positive, results are more likely to occur. Just like in real life, do you want to spend time with someone that is negative? Hell no! Use your common sense. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly accurate *2021-02-16, version 2.1* I truly didn’t think this app would work when I downloaded it. However, after testing it side by side with a tri-field meter, it is surprisingly accurate. If you’re looking to test EMF, this is the app you want. ### 5/5 — I love it but how do you go ghost hunting? *2020-12-20, version 2.1* Me and my dad wanna go ghost hunting and I don’t know how to do it on this app ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-11-05, version 2.1* 2 stars because it’s fun to play with but all it does is measure the orientation of your device ### 5/5 — Helped me alot *2020-10-31, version 2.1* This app actually helped me figure out something in my house that might be haunted it's a mini boombox speaker with a AUX input on it, it was never on when i checked and shouldn't be putting off those frequencies ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The ghost rpaedme *2024-12-01, version 2.1* It found me, I didn’t mean to piss it off butt, i was just messing around and it was behind me and i heard clapping and i looked and it you don’t wanna what i seen ### 1/5 — Not an EMF detector *2021-07-27, version 2.1* Phones don’t have devices that can detect EMFs. This app tracks WiFi signals, the closer you are to your router the higher the EMF rating goes. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-06-08, version 2.1* Took it on a ghost walk, and it never moved more than 1-5 off of 50. Real meters were giving readings. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t really work *2021-04-15, version 2.1* When you place it next to metal it goes off. ### 1/5 — Well...... *2020-10-16, version 2.1* Like with most of these apps-for a beginner, I AM LOST. Where’s the owner’s manual? I hit the “?” And it explains what is what but does not tell me what it all means exactly or what to watch for. Does voices come through on this app? And what exactly do the lines represent when they get closer together or farther apart? For now my rating will be 1 star. You can change that by helping me and directing me to some instructions. Thank you. ### 1/5 — EMF recording *2020-09-21, version 2.1* Satisfied with app.interesting ### 1/5 — Can’t tell if I’m dumb or it’s the app *2020-09-07, version 2.1* I turned it on at the top and held it on my bed and it read orange and when I put it against my lamp it went down. ### 1/5 — um not sure if it’s doing what it’s supposed to *2020-06-16, version 2.1* okay so is it supposed to just go up and down like i feel like it’s not working and also am i like dumb or what idk i don’t get how it has like 5 star ### 1/5 — Fake *2020-01-25, version 2.1* I have an actual emf meter and it’s not picking up anything If you are a real person the reviews are fake ### 1/5 — Lies *2020-01-05, version 2.1* This app is just lies. The system goes off whenever it is near electricity or metal. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Paranormal EMF Recorder and Scanner *2026-05-01, version 2.1* I PICKED NOTHING NO SPIRITS IN MY MOM’S HOUSE..JUST MAGNETS IN THE SPEAKERS…I HEAR THINGS IN MY MOM’S HOUSE I HEAR THE WALLS TAPPING…BUT THIS DEVICE DID NOT PICK UP ANY KANETIC ENERGY…NO….WELL I THINK I BETTER TAKE THIS COMMENT BACK..AND I THOUGHT I WAS WRONG ON THIS DEVICE…THIS DEVICE JUST PICKED UP SOME MAGNETIC FIELDS IN MY MOM’S HOUSE AND AROUND MY MOM’S BACK YARD…AND THIS DEVICE JUST GAVE ME THE CHILLS… ### 5/5 — Kinda fire *2025-10-27, version 2.1* Thought it wouldn’t work at first but after a bunch of tests it works great! ### 5/5 — Ghost *2025-08-07, version 2.1* Its true I just found out that my chair is hunted no joke I have video evidence ### 5/5 — Terrifyingly good *2025-01-07, version 2.1* I was using this on my iPhone 6 and it worked surprisingly well. I found that when I put it on the necklace i was given by my late great grandfather it spiked to 500. This works so well. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-05-18, version 2.1* It was very good me and my friends were outside and talking to the shadow man Gabriel mccloud , we told him to answer our answers by going to a hundred and he did he also said no by going below too and it was all really real whenever we said our goodbyes and told him he could go the emf reader went from 97 to 43 . ### 5/5 — Realistic *2024-05-05, version 2.1* I put my iPad that gives radiation it gave 500+ this is real but I’m scared now that’s how realistic btw one side of ur phone or iPad says it I’m pretty sure on my iPad it’s opposite the charging area ### 5/5 — It works *2023-11-26, version 2.1* When I go close to my Alexa it goes absolutely crazy with the reading getting higher the closer I get, definitely works 👍 ### 5/5 — This does actually work. *2023-02-22, version 2.1* To my big surprise. It measures the actual distance as you move as well, when walking or waving your phone in the air. ### 5/5 — What the lines mean? *2023-01-22, version 2.1* The App seems to be working but we have four lines showing movement. They are; Magnitude - light blue X - red Y - green Z - blue Can someone please tell me what each of these lunes actually mean in their presence and readings? Many thanks 🙏 ### 5/5 — Ghostbuster Fan *2022-11-17, version 2.1* It reads magnetic fields accurately. My guitars hang on my walls & when I use app near guitar pick ups, the meter spikes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
