1. 4/5Good but could use some work

   So I’ve had this app for about 3 weeks now. The only thing that I found that bothers me is that the sweep speed is still too fast even when I lower it. It can be confusing because you would think to lower it you would move the bar to the left. But no, that speeds it up. Anyways, even at the slowest sweep rate the sounds you hear cut off so quickly that you can’t make out what it’s saying. The echo is horrible. Don’t even turn it on. I would like an option to record so that you can go back and tweak the audio to see if you caught anything. It has some creepy sounds like crackling and whispers which sound spooky but, I mean, it’s inaudible. I’ve had it say my kids names so does it listen to me when I’m speaking and then just repeats common phrases or words? It’s just too fast and whatever you hear cuts off almost immediately so you can’t make it out. Even with the reverb on it’s so hard to make out. Also, the sound is not loud enough. Even at the highest volume and with headphones on, I have to really really put it up to my ear to hear. I’m comparing to VOX app and VOX is so much louder I actually have to turn it down. All in all, It’s a fun app to use. You just have to spend a lot of time with it trying to decipher what it or they are saying. Worth the $10 bucks.

2. 5/5USE WITH CAUTION

   im gonna rate this 5 stars because in my opinion i believe its real . i wasnt sure at first until i had an experience with my friends . This was when i was into spirituality & finding ways to talk to spirits . Me & my ex bestfriend walked down the park about 2 years ago so we could wait for our other friend to come. I asked her if we could test this app thinking it’s a joke at first or not real , she agreed to do it. So first we turned it on & didn’t really get anything to what we were asking . That was until a few minutes later when it said our names first and last. Obviously we got weirded out & we’re like okay lets just try to keep going. So we did. Our other friend was on the way to the park while this was going down . Before we even knew he got there we heard his name on the spirit box then we looked up & seen him walking towards us. We thought that was odd but decided to keep going. A few minutes later we move to the bench. Me and my other friend were sitting on top of the bench making jokes & laughing at it UNTIL i heard a woman’s voice start cursing & getting angry through this app. My ex bestfriend friend took my phone at this point so i move seats to come sit next to her on the bench & right when im about to sit down i hear the app say “DONT SIT THERE” . I took my phone turned it off & FREAKED OUT & rannn all the way home . All im trying to say is don’t make this to be a joke it’s very real & it definitely can get scary . Use with caution .

3. 5/5The negative reviews don’t know how this works

   First of all, you aren’t talking to your phone and it can’t hear you without giving them express permission to access your microphone, which it doesn’t. Secondly, I thought it was a flop at first too. My dad had just committed suicide and I’d hoped to talk to him. After twenty minutes of failing, I fell out on his bed and cried. Then the clearest voice yet came through and it was my dad’s. He was sobbing and kept crying out, “ Baby, oh baby. Baby.” Just before it cut out he whispered “I’m sorry.” That’s when I researched it more. Whether it’s a phone, a hacked radio, a white noise machine, whatever - all have the same level probability of working. Then, you may not have a ghost or spirit near you. They may not want to talk to you. THEY bounce off the words. If it makes no sense, no one’s talking. Or they’re figuring it out. I was in the place my dad died and it took twenty minutes and then just cut out like he was struggling. This app isn’t an On-button for ghost activity. It’s a mediator. You’re also part of the equation. Being open to it, focusing, and remaining respectful all help elevate your chances of inviting a spirit and warming them up to you. If you don’t believe to begin with then you’re just wasting money. You have to be open to possibility no matter what you use in a contact situation.

4. 5/5Portuguese Communication

   I am skeptical about these apps but with the experience I had tonight I am left with believing this one actually works. My wife’s grandfather came through tonight. It is crazy to me because he communicated in Portuguese which made me believe it was a genuine communication. He started by saying “olá” (hello). My wife then asked if this was her avô (Grandfather). He replied back with “sim” (yes). Our dog then walked over to where we were sitting and “sim” (yes)came through again. Then the sound “cuh” (not a word) several times then the word “oi” (expression of frustration). Then “cão” (dog) three times then “Belle” several times. He loved our dog Belle and we think he was trying to communicate with us but got frustrated and said “oi” because he could not get the right words. This gave me chills because it was so clear. He knew some English and said “bring here” and then shortly after said “come here” this sounded like a question. My wife is going to Portugal in a few days to visit her grandma. Then he said “Avó” (grandma). I asked him how are you. He replied “eu” (I) then a few seconds later with “bem” (well). Communication died down after this. This is the first time we used this app. It was crazy to me what we got especially with it being Portuguese.

5. 5/5Intelligent responses

   There are multiple voices that are trying to come through. I asked them what is something you can see in my room or what color is my shirt to hone in on an intelligent spirit. For me, this really works I’ve gotten a multitude of intelligent answers. Responses I’ve gotten: One morning as the garbage was being picked up by the garbagemen very clear through my headphones, I heard “you know I used to be a garbage man. “, I have heard it say: my two sisters names, and the name of my oldest nephew, and my only niece over and over. It is said the name that we used to call my biological dad, it says my name, I can answer yes or no questions, once it’s said the name of an ex that passed away I didn’t say it in that person‘s voice it’s saying it three times. It has also said “birdie beautiful can we hear it” - about my parakeet. These are just a few examples of what I received as a response. TO THE DEVELOPERS: The one question I have for the developers is when I close the app I don’t have any music apps open and a song will play. A song called put your headphones on by Addison Rae came on uninterrupted…I had no music apps open at this time. Why did this happen?
