### 5/5 — Very real

*2025-09-05, version 2.6*

A friend of mine recommended this to me as he’s used it for years. I never expected to see/hear anything, but I was extremely wrong. Within minutes I saw activity, and the it’s been crazy strong activity, more than he’s ever seen with using it.

### 5/5 — DEF RECCOMEND

*2024-07-20, version 2.0.4*

So I have haunted dolls which fyi spirit vessels so I got this so I can communicate with them like my Amelia and Albert kissing dolls and it worked someone said Amelia doll and goldenvale the brand that’s so crazy they don’t even use a camera for this app also if your not getting any words that means there isn’t any entity near you or spirit the dead isn’t meant for you to get on their bad side so just be careful and those who say the words make no sense are wrong because you have to use your memories plus some ppl don’t even know the spirit they are talking to unless they say their names and some stuff they are saying could be connected to them and people who are reading the reviews please know that the hearing thing is fixed you might just need to clean the speaker mesh on your device. Have a nice day

### 2/5 — Ridiculous and a waste of money

*2024-03-15, version 2.0.4*

This app is ridiculous and a waste of money every ten min it pops out random words that make no sense and don’t match any words or info on the actual location . Don’t waste your time unless you want to prank people because it’s junk and as scientist who designed this to be real and effective it’s laughable

### 5/5 — It’s real

*2023-07-22, version 2.0.4*

At first, I thought was about to be a faker because there was no sound and I see a lot of people complaining there’s no sound  I have my silence button flipped on my iPhone so I flipped it over as in my ringer would be on, and that was what fixed it now it works. It’s eerily accurate, kind of freaked out and now especially it being 3:30 in the morning

### 5/5 — Legit as One could imagine

*2023-05-05, version 2.0.4*

Too many coincidences for it to be totally ruled fake. If it is fake it knew my grandmothers name and I hadn’t spoken that name in years until the app brought her up. Its like this (I asked wheres my brother IT replied fireplace and I looked over to see my brother’s mural an picture. When I asked about my where my sister was it said insulted? Then I looked an her photo was there as well, on the fireplace mantle. Also one time I asked it if its real help me make $100.00 today……It happened no joke- followed clues from the app too.

### 5/5 — This is real

*2023-04-23, version 2.0.4*

Yesterday me and my friend played sarah sarita(which is a scary game with two people and two coins, an if you get to heads it’s a yes, two tails, no and a head and rails is maybe)anyway we put my phone in the center and kept saying sarah sarita are you here, the spirit box was going wild and it said janitor and a janitor killed her!!this app is really legit and cool thank you for whoever made this.

### 1/5 — There’s no sound whatsoever !

*2023-04-05, version 2.0.4*

Cannot make this thing work no matter what I’ve tried there’s no sound nothing seems operational. 
Anyone have any suggestions?

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-02-25, version 2.0.4*

Just purchased this app and the sound does not work. I read reviews about other people having the same issue. Not sure why it works for some people and not everyone. Glad I did not spend a lot of money on this.  😞

### 1/5 — Wasted dollar

*2023-02-24, version 2.0.4*

This app is a joke

### 5/5 — Real!!

*2022-11-09, version 2.0.4*

This app is 100% real. I didn’t even speak out loud and I had my uncle come through as well as spirits in the attic and the basement. I thought I felt something touch my shoulder in my grandma’s house so I downloaded this app just because I was curious. Be careful!! This is NOT a game! I got the words dependable uncle, attic, under attic, basement, under basement, kinky hair (my hair is kinky), entity behind, shadow ahead, fear, relative connects, and affable girlfriend.
