Hockey-Cow!!! This app almost make me crap in my pants. Don't try at night especially when alone. You might find a some sort of freaking creature watching you. It does work like it say, use sonar and temperature sensing to scan around just like radar. It's really nice app, it show in dark what's hidden if its alive or not and shape. I know many people are not believe in superstitious story but when I scan my room around I did found something float warm in air about 5 feet in diameter and 3 feet away. And I was alone in the room. Any suggestions? This is freak me out.
