I doubt if it will actually turn other colors. I will have to wait and see. I already know my place is haunted without the app. ### 4/5 — It Works Not For Me *2021-01-01, version 1.1* It’s real. I had stuff falling off the wall and when landed not one scratch. Since ever never fell off the wall. I had to delete the app. Just not for me. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2020-12-31, version 1.1* I am amazed this to me has been a great experience in my life and on God I wouldn’t dare tell a false story ever I’m a real person not any robot and I don’t try things for fun I am going through some things in my life and I was just curious how this works I am into the super natural the other side Gosh I want to cry I cannot believe what this real spirit Detecter has done to me I am truly happy to express that installment of this app 10 stars to its highest 🥵 I love it it’s definitely the real deal how I used it was I am paying attention to what the spirit is saying through writing and the words are sent out here are beyond truly real each word related to my situation feelings or thoughts or anything surrounding me each word sent out I googled the meaning and omg 😱 I’m on my bed at the moment here lights out naked room is a bit warm I have my crystals also layer out around the bed please tell me why it wrote cleav·age And my breast are out rn 🤭😱 Not even that it kept showing me plants as though for some reason I’m surrounded by green beautiful plants or if I die it’s possible I’ll be around that bc so many plant names would pop up Pray It's telling pray !🥴😩 oh my goodness and that was rt while I was about closing the app yes indeed I know to pray before everything. it also wrote a word that meant lazy I am definitely lacking I work seven days I have little energy it wrote something about my child a word that meant a child who was born with her parents exact traits from a female parent birthing female child and my daughter came out with her fathers exact dna and group type that was scary like how did it know it wrote stuff about unlivable I currently live in a place not suitable I’m dying to move out like wow it wrote something about my spouse an ancient rifle of some sort I googled and yes my spouse carried from military life it wrote about my looks fine looking wrote about what I’m thinking I cannot name all but that is impossible all these things it wrote relate some words made no sense at all and were spelled wrong I couldn’t make out myself this is the real deal and I’m a bit freaked out though very excited to see what it would say next lastly I thought of my spouse it typed heartthrilling it wrote entwine omg I want to cry get this please! If your not the type of person who gets to scared be brave see what it has to say or relate to your life situation you may be very surprised. Tip: don’t be like others too quick to judge it will never really make sense at first relax breath stabilize yourself and do not just look at words read it and say it isn’t nothing just by looking go and google the world bring all words together and it will tell a story write it down. It will definitely help you. I hope you enjoy and can’t wait to hear everyone else’s experience on here. Peace be with all. Chow Goddess 🌸 ### 4/5 — Good *2020-12-30, version 1.1* Can you just add where are you can see you on the map/radar and where you can talk to the ghost and possibly see them but it’s a pretty good game thanks for making it keep up the good work🙂 ### 2/5 — Ghost garbage *2020-12-30, version 1.1* This app has absolutely no control on the sensitivity settings or frequency settings there are zero controls for this application I find it very difficult and upsetting to use this app if you have not already downloaded this please do not waste your time but it’s not worth it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2023-05-09, version 1.1* Every two minutes and ad pops upAnd it’s not even worth trying out can’t sit there long enough to see a ghost pop up. It is fake app. ### 1/5 — Dissapointing *2022-10-26, version 1.1* An app with no instructions, just one viewing screen. A foreign language?
