Yeah, your app is terrible. I’m not paying to talk to ai. ### 2/5 — Honest opinion *2026-01-17, version 1.20* I downloaded this app to test its potential. When I got it I wasn’t aware that to do anything you need a subscription and I wasn’t going to buy one. I cant fully review it cause of this but if you do have the money there is definitely better spirit talker apps that will work and is worth it. So personally I rate this app a 2, maybe in the future I’ll try to test. ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-01-04, version 1.20* I’m sure it’s great but I can’t even start because it cost money what a waste of time pls make it free ### 1/5 — I bought the year long service and they cancelled it without refunding me *2026-01-03* I reached out to the merchant about complaints I had about this service after purchasing a year long subscription. The merchant took away access to the app, but I have not received a refund. Apple refuses to give me a refund either. Absolute scam, dont waste your time or money. The merchant will just ignore you if you reach out to them. What a joke. Give me my refund. **Developer response:** We’d like to clarify a few important points based on the message we received via our support email and the review you shared. The app uses strict content moderation and predefined sound banks, and it is not technically possible for the app to generate or display offensive language such as “f**ing b****” or similar terms. We also want to be clear that we did not cancel your plan or remove your access. No manual action was taken on your account. All subscriptions, access changes, and refunds are handled entirely by Apple, and developers do not have the ability to cancel plans or issue refunds manually. According to our records, this purchase was a lifetime promotional plan, not a yearly subscription. If there is reproducible evidence of an issue (for example, a video recording showing the app in use), we would be happy to review it and escalate the matter to Apple for further investigation. With this clarification, we kindly ask that you consider updating your review to accurately reflect the situation. For any billing or refund concerns, Apple Support is the appropriate point of contact. ### 1/5 — Terrible. *2025-12-16, version 1.20* I downloaded this to communicate with my supposedly haunted dolls, EVERYTHING I pressed on showed me the subscription and tried to get me to buy. Don’t get it. ### 1/5 — Spirit box hack *2025-12-08* Complete waste of money ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-12-04* Disappointed **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. Please contact us through the app so we can help. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2025-11-29, version 1.20* Repeat nonsense ### 2/5 — Seizure Alert *2025-11-24, version 1.20* Take that crazy screen down a notch 😂 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Remove my subscription *2026-07-29* I’m still waiting on them to remove my subscription and stop trying to get money out of my account I don’t have any in there ### 1/5 — Miss may *2026-05-31, version 1.21* It wouldn’t let me use it unless if I subscribe ### 1/5 — SCAM! This is NOT the Necrophonic App!!!!! *2026-05-28* You’re charging people misleading them into believing this is the Necrophonic App! When it actually has no relation to it whatsoever! I saved all my screen shots and I will be aggressively pursuing a complaint against your company for misleading customers. Even the App Tile is titled “Necrophonic”!!!! LIARS and THIEVES! I want my money back!!!!!!! **Developer response:** We’re sorry for the frustration and confusion. To clarify, this app is not affiliated with any other app, brand, or developer unless specifically stated in the App Store listing. The subscription options are shown before purchase, and all payments and refunds are handled directly through Apple. If you’d like to request a refund, please contact Apple Support through your purchase history. If you believe something in the listing was unclear, we appreciate you flagging it and will review the wording and presentation to make sure users understand exactly what the app is before subscribing. ### 1/5 — It's bad *2026-05-21, version 1.21* It was trying to make me pay it before using it, just make the money have a one time purchase if you're going to do that ### 1/5 — Uninstalling *2026-05-15, version 1.21* I can’t uninstall it and I don’t want it anymore stop trying I scam people for money ### 1/5 — Don’t get if it unless you gonna pay for. *2026-04-26, version 1.21* I can download it but not use it it’s just not okay!!!! ### 1/5 — expensive *2026-04-14, version 1.21* everything in this app u have to buy ### 1/5 — Subscription based. *2026-04-12, version 1.21* It treats it as if there is a free version but you can’t actually do anything. Just stare at the Home Screen. The second you click anything you’re asked to pay a subscription. You close that pop up to then see another one asking for money only to close that one to be met with yet ANOTHER one tell me to subscribe to use. Don’t tell me there a free version with ads just to not let me access anything unless I pay you. Not being upfront and more openly honest makes me far more reluctant to want to give you my money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-11* It KEPT ASKING ME FOR MONEY **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. The app requires a subscription to access the main features, and the available plans are shown before purchase. We understand that this may be frustrating if you expected free access. If you purchased a plan and still cannot access the app, please use Restore Purchase or contact support so we can help troubleshoot. ### 1/5 — Junk *2026-03-31* Just random noises that ghost hunters can use when editing videos to Mae it sound like spirits communicating. Total junk. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So bad *2026-07-09* Everything has a price!!! ### 5/5 — y’all done lost your minds charging people that much just for on that amount of time without a demo *2026-01-18* Terrible decision on buying this 5 dollar packet that only last for a week. You don’t even get to try the app out before even buying the premium. It’s really not all that great just a bunch of different voices speaking allllllll at the same time. And I also heard the same thing several times when turning it off and back on again. It’s a gimmick if you ask me. **Developer response:** We appreciate you taking the time to leave an honest review. Pricing and subscription duration are clearly shown before purchase so users can make an informed decision. We're continuously improving the experience and evaluating feedback about access options. If you had technical concerns or specific issues during your session, feel free to reach out. Detailed feedback helps us improve. ### 5/5 — No Mic Access But It Still Answers *2026-01-05* What really got to me is this app doesn’t ask for microphone access at all, yet it still reacts like it knows when I’m asking something. I tried testing it by asking questions out loud and even just thinking them and the answers still came at the right moments. I asked if anyone was with me and it said “here” almost immediately, then I asked what it wanted and it replied “talk.” There’s no way it should know the timing if it’s not listening, but it does. People can say it’s random but when it keeps lining up over and over, it stops feeling like coincidence and starts feeling like cọmmunication. ### 5/5 — Not Just Noise *2026-01-05* You can tell when it’s random sound and when it’s responding. The replies match the questions way too often. I didn’t expect this to feel as real as it does... ### 5/5 — Didn’t Expect This! *2025-12-13* Downloaded it out of curiosity and wow… the first session gave me a static noise followed by a whisper-like sound. It could totally be my imagination, but it felt so real in the moment. **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — Smooth and Easy to Use *2025-12-01* Really like that there aren’t ads all over the place. The app is clean, simple, and works exactly how it should. One of the best ghost tools I’ve tried so far. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience! We're really happy to hear the app’s been working well for you, and we appreciate you using our tool. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good Audio Engine *2025-11-21* The sound banks blend nicely without distortion, which makes it easier to review sessions afterward. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your feedback! ### 5/5 — Good spirit box for investigations *2025-11-15* The spirit box in this app feels way more legit than most phone stuff I’ve tried. It only uses sound banks and white noise, no fake word generator stuff, which I like a lot. I was using it with my other tools and the necrophonic sounds actually lined up with the EMF spike I got in one corner of the room. It kinda helped me figure out where the activity was stronger. We’re planning to check out some other haunted places soon and I’m definitely bringing this app again. ### 5/5 — Ghost *2025-11-13* Slayer23@1 ### 5/5 — Too Accurate *2025-10-28* I asked, “What’s your name?” and it said “Eli.” That’s my brother’s name he passed away in 2019. I had to put my phone down. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
