For our Ghost Talk users who wanted more from the chat, we bring you Group Ghost Chat where you type your messages in to get a response from your ghosts. Plus you get to see everyone else's conversations as well. There is no login, just tell the app what you want to be called in the chat so your ghosts can identify you in their responses. Because ghosts have trouble with the on-screen keyboard we still use the microphone to pick up their responses. So you will need to allow microphone access if you want to have ghost responses to your comments. All messages expire quickly so you only see the most recent conversations. We had a lot of fun building this app and we hope you have a lot of fun using it!
