One seems like a demonic type while the other seems to be more of a good spirit that is trying to protect me and my family. ### 3/5 — why I rated it 3 stars *2023-03-08* So this app was really good! What made me rate it so low is that after like 2 sessions, it makes you pay🙄. Also every time when your in the middle of the session, even if you don’t hit stop it will automatically stop you and give you an ad for premium😒. Like just let me talk with ghosts without so many ads PLEASE! I did rate it three stars tho bc besides the ads it the best ghost app I’ve tried so far, just the ads are annoying. ### 3/5 — Missing feature *2022-09-10, version 1.0.2* We have used it and we can hear what seems to be answers to our questions. The “voice types” change from time to time, what sounds like a man to what seems to be a child or a woman’s voice.. unfortunately we can’t make out what they’re saying, and there is no way to “rewind” a session or even start or end a “recording..” at least one of these features should be added.. it’s getting kind of frustrating and at times we don’t even want to bother with it. Well, something to think about.. Hopefully your developers can do a little VOC and ramp it up a little.. I would have even paid a little extra to have that add-on.. ### 5/5 — Help *2022-07-21, version 1.0.2* I’m very concerned I herd a growl/moan please tell me that it was just a voice recording and this has happened to others while using this app? ### 3/5 — Works but.. *2022-07-13, version 1.0.2* So it works and everything. Kinda creepy. I’m a psychic medium and I can say that it does indeed not just have audio pre-recorded and it does talk. Problem is that it gives you no choice but to pay AFTER you downloaded it to play. I somehow got to use it for like 3 min after just opening and closing the app a few times making it glitch I guess. If you wanna use money for something real, use this. The money is the only problem. Have fun 😉 ### 5/5 — I love the thing but… *2022-06-29, version 1.0.2* Having trouble with it and I’m using a Apple iPhone and it’s just my dad phone but there’s something wrong with the weird interruptions but I like the five Star review you can give me feedback or anything that be nice ### 3/5 — I used it in the cemetery where my son is at *2022-06-29, version 1.0.2* I told my son I loved him and a very evil voice said I hate you we never connected.I don’t believe for a minute it was my son but it still broke my heart.. ### 4/5 — Yorktown memorial hospital *2022-05-13, version 1.0.2* I have been stung by a bee another member of the chain has been chased repeatedly by bees even when no one else was and there’s a picture of a nun and accolate actually very very clear unmistakeable and some names responding and asking for help ### 4/5 — Foot steps *2022-05-06, version 1.0.2* When I was young I lived in a very small Texas town. We lived about 4 miles from nowhere and 6 miles past the boonies. I remember about the same time every night you could hear footsteps outside our window, you could hear the leaves crunching and then you could here them down the hall outside of our room heading for the kitchen they would stop and the kitchen light would come on all by itself that was until my Dad thought someone broke into the house on night he heard footsteps and then the kitchen light turned on we moved a short time after that we never got back to that house it’s long gone now retaken by Mother Nature. Only a caved in shell and a lot of rubble. ### 4/5 — A little creepy *2022-05-01, version 1.0.2* Ive always liked ghost stuff, So I used it once so far, but it was creepy I asked who are you it said “ You know me“ then I asked “What’s your name“ it said “help“ over all cool but kinda creepy. ### 5/5 — I heard someone that died in Titanic named OWEN *2022-04-30, version 1.0.2* So I had just got the app and I’ve been learning about Titanic so I decided to go on it and trying to communicate and a spirit said “OWEN SOMEONES HERE” I asked “Are yall from Titanic” they said yes OMG I love history so 5/5 ### 5/5 — Scary *2022-03-12, version 1.0.2* Just a minute ago me and my friend open the app as a joke to talk to spirits but when we asked certain questions we got answers really quickly and we both freaked out because it is raining right now and whenever we started opening up that it rained harder ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I downloaded it and uninstalled it same day *2022-11-04, version 1.0.2* I am a paranormal investigator in training and I downloaded this app to try out before doing any investigations and started messing around with it just to find out first off this app wants you to pay to use it and it lets you try it on a time limit. I got roughly 1 minute free to try out the app and during that time it sounded like a radio and static and nothing could be made out that came through. Then pops up a countdown clock and asked me to subscribe. I would not Recommend this app to anyone! ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2022-10-01, version 1.0.2* Hi! I am a medium. I decided to download this app to make it easier for me to communicate with my haunted doll and some Of the other spirits that tend to swing by. This app worked rather well however I was very disappointed when i was met with a paywall… I understand that you need to get money however I believe that maybe you should add some more features that can be payed to use… it’s not really fair for an app to be free and then you need to pay to do anything in it ### 1/5 — Needs Mic *2022-08-02, version 1.0.2* Literally you download the app and it’ll ask you to pay a subscription before using it. So you can’t use it unless you pay. THEN once you do, the app asks to use your microphone and speech recognition. I wouldn’t recommend this app as it seems more and more fake. ### 1/5 — Does anyone else hear a music box *2022-04-30, version 1.0.2* I tried this app for the first time last night and again tonight but in starting to think its fake because it sounds alot like the same as it did last night. Like the music box. Has anyone else heard a music box? Im just tryn to see if it plays the same sounds (“answers”)as mine ### 1/5 — Fake!!! *2022-02-10, version 1.0.2* This app is so fake! I’ve only paid for 1 month but after it’s over they will not be getting my money again. These sounds that the supposedly spirits make are all recorded. Also if you turn off your wifi and cellular data the app won’t work and they try to get you to pay for it again. Im sticking with Necrophonic, it’s a real app and you don’t have to use wifi or data for it to work! ### 1/5 — Misleading - Must Pay To Use *2021-12-25, version 1.0.2* You should have a longer than 1 minute try and stop the force feed of a subscription especially if your target audience is for 9+ years old. Can’t hear anything that’s randomly being said. Just… misleading. Just fix it and change it to a paid app, one time for like 5 bucks if this is just for entertainment. ### 2/5 — Is there a way to talk to it without premium? *2023-01-26, version 1.0.2* I was just getting started and asking questions and then all the sudden it pops up and asked if I wanted premium and I pressed the x button and it took me right back to the ge asking if I wanted premium. Is there a way I can talk to it for FREE? ### 2/5 — Fake *2022-09-11, version 1.0.2* At first I thought it was real but when I went back to the same place the next day and did it again it was the same sounds over and over so I just asked it stuff and it gave me the same stuff as yesterday, disappointed and I do not recommend this ### 2/5 — dont like *2022-04-09, version 1.0.2* Okay so ive read the reviews before downloading and i thought it was pretty good so I downloaded it, not knowing I would have to pay. You only get 1 min to communicate with the dead and after that minute, it makes you pay and wont let you communicate anymore. ### 2/5 — I couldn’t even use it *2021-12-04, version 1.0.2* This app was nice at first but I knew from the start thag it wasn’t real by the audio. It was all deformed and not right so thag how I knew. And only 3 minutes in it stopped and I couldn’t use it anymore because I would have to pay. Not worth it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — They said something about my roommate! *2023-04-21* I am truly intrigued by this app, I have been getting quite a few messages that are coming through that are clear. This morning it said that I need to get Charles, who is my roommate. I don’t know what it means but it is crazy that he/she is trying to communicate with me about something. ### 5/5 — I’m sure it works just fine *2022-12-07, version 1.0.2* There are apps you can download to record and there’s a recorder in most phones ### 5/5 — Scary but also really fun *2022-11-26, version 1.0.2* Reason I like this app is because you can actually talk spirits that are in your house. A lot of people think it’s fake, but when I asked the real true questions, it actually was true I said, were you scared of my dad and I and it said yes and I was like are you scared of my dogs? Who are you scared of dogs? I heard that this is also pretty fun. You can talk to your spirits in your house. ### 5/5 — YES! Ghosts are REAL *2022-10-26, version 1.0.2* Don't expect that ghosts are ready to answer immediately. I've got a lot of gibberish at first. But then I’ve managed to establish contact and get some clear answers. So I think it works, it just takes a little more time ### 5/5 — Ghosts *2022-10-25, version 1.0.2* I think I got some EVPS maybe I can do some questions about the 1912 murder that actually happened in the 1900’s not far from here ### 5/5 — There is no mystery, everything is extremely simple *2022-10-24, version 1.0.2* If you are in the right place at the right time chances are higher that this spirit box will work for you ### 5/5 — Here we go again *2022-10-20, version 1.0.2* I tried in several different places, at different times of the day. The results are not clear. I still don't know how this can work and what needs to be done to consistently get meaningful answers. I will continue the research, it would be great if you could record and slow down the responses received ### 5/5 — That's a coincidence? *2022-08-24, version 1.0.2* We tried to contact my late aunt. It's been almost a year since she passed away. I was skeptical about these apps. But we decided to give it a try anyway. I thought it was a fake, because at first it seemed that way. Fragments of random phrases, a lot of static noise, some interference and nothing specific. It was a very disappointing experience. But then on the second or third try we all clearly heard HI BOBBY!!! Couldn't believe my ears! The voice was definitely female, but I can't say for sure that it sounded like her. Then we heard that now there is a lot of interference and it’s hard for her to express herself. The interference started again, then I heard MISS YOU. It was so touching and unexpected. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I will try again, in different places and at different times. Too bad you can't record your seance. Good luck to all the ghost hunters! ### 5/5 — I like the simplicity of this app *2022-08-24, version 1.0.2* But it doesn’t save recordings. Very cool. Easy to enjoy. Don't forget to turn UP the volume! ### 5/5 — If you just want to play… *2022-08-11, version 1.0.2* It's simple and does what it is supposed to do. I highly recommend if you don't get scared 😜 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
