### 2/5 — Don't sound real

*2026-02-16*

I have been whaching this girl who has haunted dolls and she can communication with them and It doesn't sound like what I have heard from her videos. By the way if you want to know the YouTuber, her channel is named Kelsi Davies.

### 2/5 — Not results

*2023-08-03, version 1.1*

Didn’t get any results. Very simple app.

### 1/5 — Spirit Box ~ Ghost Detector

*2023-08-02, version 1.1*

TOTAL WASTE OF $4.99 …. I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK PLEASE…. It’s a lot of played backwards words scrambled together.. YOU CAN NOT EVEN MAKE OUT WHAT IT SAYS BECAUSE THE SOUND QUALITY IS HORRIBLE!!!

### 3/5 — I hate the ads

*2023-07-14*

This actually works better than the other ones I’ve done but it keeps asking for a membership and it really annoys me and I think it should really be fixed other than that great app highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Mis muertos no hablan inglés jaja

*2023-07-02, version 1.1*

Jajajja que raro nadie me hablo en español

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-06-30*

You have to pay to talk longer than a minute and it is just unrealistic

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-06-22*

Me and my friends couldn’t even start the game because of it saying we need a membership. Then when I started the free trial it was just a candle speaking gibberish.

### 3/5 — Fun but annoying

*2023-05-20*

We were playing this and it kept asking for the membership. Like nobody wants the membership. People just wanna play the game. I’m just kinda annoyed of the ads.

### 1/5 — Fake

*2025-11-08*

Even if this wasn’t fake you only find out after you pay money. I know there aren’t any angry spirits in my home.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2025-02-14*

This is horribly fake it’s all AI generated electronic noises. I am an actual paranormal investigator and I know what a spirit box sounds like and it’s not this don’t waste you time or space on you phone. This is garbage.

### 1/5 — Uhh yeah noh

*2024-05-30*

This app is funny but not real, it seems fake, I am a psychic myself and I knew this was fake when it started doing fricking robot noises, ghosts where once humans and apps like this are making them seem scary and fake, it is wrong and I don’t think it’s ok to be doing this since they are just dead people trying to find the way out.

### 1/5 — Não pagar pois não funciona

*2024-05-15*

Não funciona, só tem 1 opção de escutar uns barulhos estranhos rápidos e não dá para decodificar pois não tem opção de nada. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Not to be trusted

*2024-03-20, version 1.1*

As a member of a paranormal team I can confirm this is not a trusted app, the sounds are not paranormal and the app is not open for paranormal interference (evp) the developer could have at least made it sound a bit spooky but it sounds more like they are mimicking alien communication from a 1970s tv show

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-10-25, version 1.1*

I couldn’t understand what they where saying

### 1/5 — Waste of money and time

*2023-10-04*

You pay for no changes, whoever made this is an idiot. Do not waste your time or your money

### 1/5 — Not good

*2023-10-04*

It was not good it wasn’t even specking English and it keep saying the same thing over and over agin do not download<3

### 1/5 — BAD DO NOT DOWNLOAD READ THIS FIRST BEFORE DOWNLOADING IF Only I COULD DO ZERO StaRS

*2023-09-03*

I downloaded the game and the lifetime subscription came I clicked no then I started the session and it was glitching and I couldn’t hear what it was saying so I  am going to delete it it is a BAD GAME do not download it

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-08-10*

It literally just kept on making robot noises and wouldn’t answer my questions but to be fair it did scare me a little bit because it said my name but I think that this is so fake and all the adds are really annoying and you can’t even talk to them for a minute without paying and it’s just not worth it.

### 5/5 — This might be real

*2025-04-02*

It all started when I downloaded this app, which I thought was going to be fake and then I realize when I got in the app I looked at all of the directions at the cover of it after that, I said hi to the spirits and the spirits responded back, saying “hi” I can’t tell if this is a coincidence but after this happened, then went on to say to ask if they are human and after so that some other spirits talked over me and then all of a sudden I hear a yes, and then it stopped. I can’t tell if this is a coincidence somebody please correct me if I’m wrong, but I am terrified.

### 5/5 — Amy here

*2025-02-06*

Thanks so much 💕 love it

### 5/5 — 退会出来ない

*2024-11-05, version 1.1*

退会が出来ません。iPhoneです。退会したいです

### 5/5 — When I tell you it works..

*2024-08-02*

It actually worked! I was able to communicate with a loved one, I never expected it to actually work tbh, and I’m in disbelief. Get it.

### 5/5 — Never again.

*2024-07-28, version 1.1*

First we thought the app was fake then it noticed what are thoughts were and what we were saying and doing. We was naming our thoughts and saying them out loud before we did. We decided to do an action to see if it would say it out loud. About a year ago we did an ouija board. When doing it we got a hold of one of our friends dead uncle. We also later the same night accidentally summed zozo.When we used the app we believed that we were getting a hold of him but after some research we found out that zozo can mimic three voices, we heard our friends grandma uncle and about make. We decided to do a prayer for safty  we started seeing things and it started being more talkative and now we as a group after everything we’ve experienced need to call a father from a church cause these entities are hurtful

### 5/5 — Real!!!!!

*2024-07-13*

It’s real and fun answers goodly and can hear the words

### 5/5 — Scary and real

*2023-12-07*

I downloaded this game for fun, and i got annoyed with the pop up of the membership. so i decided to get it. we decided to play with it tonight and we kept hearing demon and a little bit later we heard a low growl. so if anyone is looking for a real app this is the one to get.

### 5/5 — 日本語がたまに聞こえる

*2023-10-15, version 1.1*

家で使用してみたら「帰れ」って言われました。自分の家なのに（？）

### 5/5 — Better than Necrophone

*2023-06-24*

I wish we could talk to the ghosts longer and I hate the constant premium ads but Necrophone is all prerecorded this app is better for anyone who cant pay for the paid apps like Necrophonic. One time it said my exes name tho which scared me, but turns out their still alive.

### 5/5 — This is crazy

*2023-05-20*

So basically, I’m in my bed super bored just wondering if there’s any ghost in my house so I can get this app and I start just asking random questions and then I asked do you know my name and it says my name now I have it said my name at all so it kind of freaked me out a little bit because it doesn’t make you sign in or anything so how I didn’t know my name so it’s kind of freaky so it really does work now, so if you really want to like talk to ghosts this is the app
