### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-04-29*

It works great!  I love it!  Highly recommend it!  I also need an upgrade for my  BX7 Spirit Box App! There is no sound on it at of static!  I have all your applications.  I love them!!! 😍

### 5/5 — It’s a great app

*2025-08-03*

But when I go into the app I can’t turn it on for whatever reason unless it only turns on when a ghost is trying to communicate or maybe I’m just not smart enough to see how to turn it on

### 1/5 — 4$

*2024-07-14, version 1.4*

Mine won’t turn on. It’s like a picture only. I uninstalled and reinstalled since I paid for it but still nothing. Please send refund or fix the problem

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2024-01-20, version 1.4*

This will not turn on, this application is a complete SCAM. I want a refund. I’m calling my bank on Monday to stop payment considering when you try to contact the developer, it sends you to an ad for another application. Complete waste of time and money & time THE DEVELOPER SHOULD BE TAKEN TO COURT. Class action lawsuit anyone?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with IPhone

*2023-11-27, version 1.4*

It never turns on. System ready but doesn’t turn on🤨

### 2/5 — No longer works

*2023-05-17, version 1.4*

I use to like using this app but now you can’t even turn it on. I hope it is just a glitch that can easily be fixed. Before it stopped working it worked pretty well.

### 3/5 — So ON doesn’t work

*2023-04-27, version 1.4*

I just purchased this app, and I can’t seem to turn it into the “ON” position. Listen, no hate your way, but if you can explain what I’m doing wrong…would be great! Says it’s ready, but won’t turn on

### 1/5 — Defective app

*2022-11-24, version 1.4*

I want my money back!! I bought two apps from this guy and both the app wont turn on!!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-10-01, version 1.4*

Wasted money on an app that doesn’t work 😒

### 1/5 — App lockup

*2022-09-27*

App is useless.  Wont allow to turn on and does nothing.  Screen locks up.
