-- DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE EASILY SCARED! -- Find a quiet place, dim the lights, and place your fingers on your phone or tablet. As your energy collects, this app will reach out into other realms, and if you are fortunate, someone... or something... will answer you back. Try asking the entity questions and see what response you get. Perfect for Halloween, or any time you want to be creeped out...

For our Ghost Hunter friends this tool will allow you to use your Apple device to listen for EVPs. The curated library of around 2300 words will help you to see what you can't hear. The estimated accuracy of the data is listed with the translation along with the EMF reading at the time of the capture. We also show you a live reading of the electromagnetic field around the phone, measured in mili Gauss. Tap the pause button to pause detection, this will help you to avoid catching your own conversations, resume detection by tapping play. Don't forget to scroll, your entire session may continue beyond the screen, so scroll down to see the latest results. The microphone in Apple's devices is very good and you may find that excess environmental noise has an effect on the accuracy of the text returned. What you see on the screen is the best guess for what was said. You can also change languages in the device settings under GhostTalk. GhostTalk currently supports English, French, Chinese, German and Spanish. Join our group chat to discuss ghostly things with other users. There are no ghosts in the chat. If things get a little spooky we recommend turning on some lights and taking a break from the app for a while. :)

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Seance at Free against GhostTalk's $0.99. Seance also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). GhostTalk's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 16 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
