Dumb app! ### 1/5 — Spirit box *2021-04-02* This app does not work whatsoever ### 1/5 — Is this a joke? Glad it’s not a paid app. *2021-04-02* I would expect the dial indicator with the station identification numbers to light up, possibly so maybe I would know that this is an. Otherwise all this does is make a noise when it comes on and make a noise when it goes off. And is definitely not paranormal. So what is the function of this product? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-03-27* This app which works based on ITC technology but this appears to be a scam. If that changes I would definitely repost but I think it is a waste. ### 1/5 — Pre recorded why ? *2021-03-01, version 1.1* Why are the voices pre recorded snippets of Tv shows ect makes no sense Yet you state it’s sweeps Raido stations ...hmm great app to scar a kid with ... I am not impressed ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-02-24* Total waste of time ### 1/5 — Spirit box *2021-02-23* Why do you have to keep turning the power on after every word it shuts off please fix and I’ll change my review ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2021-02-14, version 1.1* When I press the power button it plays a random station sound (usually an American accent discussing something about politics, even though I’m in Canada) for about 4 seconds and then it goes completely quiet. There is no radio sweeping and the only way to make it work again for another 3-4 seconds is to hit the power button. It reminds me of the “try me” button on a toy at the toy store. The settings don’t remain once you click away from the setting page either. Useless even as a joke 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-02-14, version 1.1* I turned off echo and reverb and I heard “and a woman came out” but in a normal voice not a white noise sound. This is sooooooo fake ### 1/5 — Damian *2021-02-06, version 1.1* Kupa gowna dla tempych amerykanow ### 1/5 — Confused *2021-01-13, version 1.1* I don’t understand?? ### 1/5 — Spirit box *2020-12-30, version 1.1* There’s no instructions on how to use it ### 1/5 — What is this lol *2020-12-29, version 1.1* It’s not doing anything for me ### 1/5 — What..... *2020-12-26* So I am in the den and I ask my honted doll with my ghost rods do you want me to hear your voice and the rods cross *that means yes* so I downloaded this game and it just was not the ghosts in my house ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Refund *2025-04-22* May I please get a refund even if this is real. The sounds are quite boring and non real and non scientific. ### 1/5 — 🤷🏻‍♂️ *2022-11-21, version 1.1* Not even close as what I expected, pre recorded oriental stuff!!! Not recommended at all ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly *2021-11-26* All you get is this 1 minute long of radio and other movie noises. How do you use this app with only 2 buttons? Anyone having same issues? ### 1/5 — Confusing *2021-09-04* Don’t like it I don’t get how it even works . Weird ### 1/5 — Scam! *2021-08-18* This app doesn't work nor does it scan channels! Stays on a station for a sec and then powers back off! Don't buy this app! A rip off! I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Recorded *2021-07-29, version 1.1* There are a lot of songs, podcasts, random sounds, it’s sounds like a bunch of recordings on this app ### 1/5 — Fake app *2021-07-20* This is not what it’s says it is don’t waste your time downloading this not sure what it even does🤔🤔 ### 1/5 — Really doesn’t work *2021-07-04* Not sure quite what I downloaded but it certainly wasn’t what the write-up said. There are two buttons on a fairly cool looking “old timey” radio graphic; Power and Settings. Pressing power makes a nice click sound and then four seconds of a radio station. Then nothing at all! You have to click the w power button every four or five seconds to hear a clip from an internet radio station. The settings allow you to remove the reverb and echo or click Contact Us which takes you to an empty Wix website. I’m not complaining because I didn’t get any spirits, I’m saying it isn’t as advertised…AT ALL! ### 1/5 — Review *2021-06-26* I don’t get this app after you turn it on nothing happens it goes off ### 1/5 — FAKE *2021-06-08* Literally if you take off the echo and reverb all it is is bits and pieces of the radio...for example I heard only a guitar solo ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dizz *2021-07-21, version 1.1* Love this app ### 5/5 — I don’t know what to do *2020-12-06* I don’t know what to do I confused?? ### 4/5 — This game should be named cool radio *2021-01-17* Dose not do eny thing but play voices that are from the radio😐 ### 3/5 — I Don't Understand This. *2020-12-18* I Pressed The Power Button And I Heard People Talking. Not Much Like Ghosts. But, It Randomly Stops On A Certain Time. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t do anything *2021-06-24* It’s just there ### 2/5 — Not working *2021-01-28* You press the power button it starts playing a voice or music from radio then it stops working and you have to press the power button all over again. The app needs fixing because as it is is not really sweeping at all. Can it be fix please? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
