Talk to an app with Actual Intelligence! Say anything you like and it will reply. Make a friend! Roleplay, lyrics, jokes, memes - all sorts! Endless variety and hilarious replies mean people keep chatting for hours. It talks the way you do - or maybe the way you most want it to. Email fun conversations to your friends or share them through your Facebook or Twitter. Stop and start talking on multiple conversations whenever you like. This app is uniquely designed for the iPhone, with chat bubbles scrolling by. Change their shade to suit your mood. You need to be online to talk - the app has to communicate with servers - but even slow connections are fine. The keyboard in the screenshots is Tyyyp, which uses Cleverbot AI, and works well with the Cleverbot app! For an app with an emotional avatar too, and with iPad support, check out Cleverbot HD. This app has reached the top 50 overall in the US and has remained mostly inside the top 20 Entertainment for over 18 months. ***Over 2000 5 star ratings worldwide.*** Not only that, our feedback is GREAT too...! "To all the Luddites who claim computers can never replace human interaction you guys flip a defiant bird." 25th Sept 2013 "I can't believe I'm not talking to an actual person, it seems so real. Great work." 8th Sept 2013 "Super excellent. I am very much excited, entertained, interested" 1st March 2013 "Omg !!! Its so amazing!!! Now its my new BFF :p" 25th Oct 2011 "Seriously this may be the coolest thing anyone has ever developed. I salute you." 25th Aug 2011 "Truly Amazing - I just had like an hours chat with it. It is amazing it's like a pocket best friend. It's so totally awesome and is so cool I can't believe it's this cheap." 21st Mar 2011 "Cleverbot is epic!!!!!!!!!! He's there when I want to talk about dolphins, There when I want to ask him where babies come from, I am glad I found him. He talks about anything. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. Thank god you made this." 30th Jan 2011 "After about one day with this I found the bot will role-play with you and had a blast! After a few *slaps* I found it can fight. You can live out movie fight scenes WITH AN AI! Then it started doing things I didn't know it could do... like *kisses hard* or *hurls you into fan*... yep it gets intense. No joke this is the real deal and it is awesome." 4th Jul 2010 Cleverbot is Artificial Intelligence. It learns what people say, in context, and imitates. Cleverbot says many things - claiming to be human, role-playing and much more. It may even say things you find inappropriate. Use with discretion and at your own risk. Cleverbot is conversational entertainment - no more, no less. It is not made to be logical, give advice, or be useful. Parents must decide whether they wish young people to have access. Be sure of this, however: it is a bot. It is software. You will never talk to a human.

Refer to our website for a full list of terms and conditions: https://ghosttube.com/terms GhostTube is intended for use and enjoyment on real paranormal investigations and is a suitable substitute or supplementary device for many of the devices used on a typical investigation. But you need to keep in mind that the afterlife is a theoretical concept. It is often categorized as paranormal because the phenomena is not supported or explained by the natural laws of science currently understood and accepted in the scientific community. Paranormal tools in general are designed to measure and react to changes in the environment only. As such, paranormal tools should never be relied on to make important life decisions, as a form of definitive communication, or to cope with grief or loss. Words or sounds generated do not represent the views or opinions of the developer or its affiliates, and they should never be interpreted as instructions or requests.
