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 call

The clearest difference is price: GhostTalk at Free against Ghost Radar®'s $1.99. GhostTalk also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 42). Ghost Radar®'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GhostTalk holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GhostTalk has 1.8K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Ghost Radar®'s written reviews are positive against 40% of GhostTalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ghost Radar® ships an update every 4 months, GhostTalk every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
