DO NOT PURCHASE!!!
Pure garbage and a total waste of time, energy and cash. Other than looking cheap, this app does nothing whatsoever. I feel completely duped. Don’t even be foolish enough to buy this purely garbage app.
Don’t waste your money
This is 100 percent fake
Waste of money
The app will not work
Motion tracking
This app was good and accurate. I’m not sure what they did but it doesn’t work anymore. I’ve tried everything and I get this message all the time now
“Motion & Fitness Access
This app uses motion sensors in order to work. Please allow access in the next popup.”
You need to fix this issue there is nothing for the pop up. Can’t even use the app

It’s fake
This is an app preloaded with a bunch of phrases, names, etc that a ghost hunter would want to hear. You could ask the typical questions a ghost hunter would (i.e. what’s your name?, how did you die?) and sure if you wait long enough after some nonsense answers you might get lucky and get a random name or the term “knife” etc etc. it’s fake. It doesn’t use some “special abilities” your phone has to help you communicate to spirits. All you’re communicating with is a random word generator that was programmed to sound like some ghost from the 1800’s. A WAIST OF MY MONEY. AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE TO THOSE THAT ACTUALLY WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRITS. AN ENTIRE DISAPPOINTMENT.
Motion tracker issue still not fixed
See title
What a waste
I got this app and it worked fine then one day I go to open it and it wants motion activated with no setting in the app’s function to turn on it on. So basically the app is unusable.
Horrible
Downloaded the app, every time I walked into a different room it goes off. I noticed that every time I was by an outlet is when it sparked. Paid 4.99 for it to go off by an outlet, light switch and my boyfriend’s phone.
Motion required, won't work
Apparently I paid $4.99 for nothing, because this app thinks it needs access to motion detection, and it says it's not turned on, and it refuses to work without the setting, and then it takes you to the setting to fix it but it's actually the Apple Intelligence and setting which has nothing to do with motion detection, so apparently I paid $4.99 for absolutely nothing. Thanks for nothing.
Stupid
I’ve had this app to try it out on investigations, just out of curiosity. Some have had dumb luck, but 99% of the time it’s random. I normally investigate with the simplest tools, K2, video/pic/audio from my phone. It’s actually THE best (for me) and gets surprising evidence. Anyway, I used it tonight and it legit gave me words from Hocus Pocus. I wish I could send the screenshot, but I’ll give you the list before I roll my eyes until I could see the back of my skull and felt like and idiot for even trying. The words I got are in order: “join us, Sarah, Winifred, heretics fork” 😑 REALLY???!!!!!
Newest update
The newest update asks for motion privileges, but there is no way to enable it.
Garbage update
Was great til I updated the 8-7-25 update and now say I need to turn on motion but I don’t have that feature so now this app is a waste of money
I want my money back
Motion tracking not even a option in the app settings. Says that the app was updated eight months ago to fix this issue. Sad to say the issue is now there is no option to change the settings for the motion tracking feature
Doesn’t work with iOS 18.6.2.
I’m really disappointed that it does not work with iOS 18 I have a iPhone 14 Pro. I really need to fix the problem about motion detection that it gets stuck and you can’t override it. I paid for an app that I can’t use. I saw a friend use hers and it worked great. Please do a better job of fixing all these bugs.
Fix the Motion Issue
Updates on the app says it’s fixed the motion issue but it has NOT.
Won’t work
I can’t get this to work on my iphone.
Scam and waste of money
The app doesn’t work. When I tried to get a refund through Apple and explain the issue they refused me a refund. When I tried to dispute the reason the again denied me. So waste of $$ on an app that doesn’t work. Save your $$$ this app is a scam and doesn’t work. I tried in 2 different haunted locations for several hours and got nothing while others were getting things on several different devices. I tried it on a ghost tour also and got nothing. I tried it in a few cemeteries and nothing. I tried it in multiple haunted houses and nothing. Definitely a scam.
Paid and doesn’t work
Kept telling me to put on motion sensor in app and wouldn’t let me do it so had to delete. Waste of money
Can’t get it to work
Constantly says motion detection is off but everything is on
WTH
I was charged 47 dollars for this app when it says 4.99!!!! This needs fixed!!!!!!
This app no longer works
After an “update” from the makers of the app it has become non-functional. Upon opening the app you will be asked to turn on motion detection in your settings in order to use the app. When you use the button to go to settings you will see that motion detection is not a setting that is available. I really wish the developers would remedy this in order to make the app function again.
Fake
Fake app, random scary words pop up. Not real. I regret the purchase, wish I could a refund.
Motion tracking issue AGAIN
App needs a new update!
It’s asking for a motion access
The motion access ain’t even in settings and I can’t even play on it
Burn
Downloaded the app and it won’t work on my phone. Mind you it’s an iPhone. Can’t get my money back either. Really disappointed
Bad app
This is not worth it
Fake!!!
Bought this app and used in a house with no paranormal activity whatsoever just to see what happens. I was asking questions and getting completely indirect responses. It would just spit out completely random words and phrase that made no sense. Each response would come out about 45 seconds to a minute apart. I only had a couple responses that were related to my hobbies in the house like “can you play music” and I do in fact play piano. However, this could have been a coincidence and I’m not at all convinced that this app works.
Don’t work
I want my money back this dosent work at all
Trash
Been in places that got actual evp response just throws out random words names never answered a single question
Motion tracking iso
Still can use the app wants motion turned on. There is no option for it
Does not work
Motion Access Needed: says “motion action is disabled. Please enable it in settings to continue using this app.” It takes me to a menu in my phone that nothing is wrong. Unable to even use this app. Not able to get a refund either.
Waste of money
I bought this app after a devastating loss and on the first attempt the program would not run. It would open and then crash repeatedly, no matter how many uninstall/reinstall attempts were made. After deleting the app for a few months I reinstalled again and while it FINALLY worked, it requested access to my motion sensor detectors in my phone and there is not such thing on my phone, the app is again useless. I wouldn’t waste a dime on this app.
I want my money back
I paid for the version of this app and now when I got to open it it gives me this box that says my motion tracking is not on and tells me to go to setting and they only give me three choices and motion tracking is not one. So I’m not sure what is going on here but I’m starting to smell a scam . Why would it say something about motion tracking when in over a year it never has before and now it won’t work ? Nope want my money back. Like now please.
Can’t use
I went to use the app and it keeps telling me to turn on motion tracking, in settings. I click go to settings, but there is no motion track option. My phone is on the latest software, and the app is entirely unusable for me now. Can someone please fix this?
worst app in the world
I’ve been really interested lately in the paranormal so I downloaded spirit talker apps, and I came across this one and I saw it in a few YouTube videos and I really wanted to try it and all the reviews had five stars so I downloaded and at the same exact day I downloaded it, I deleted it
I hated it. I was drinking water and I asked it loud clear to describe what I was drinking and it said "Ava" and then right after that it said "wait and listen" and I did and nothing happened. Then it starts saying a bunch of random words. and I was just disappointed please don’t get it.

Entertainment Purposes Only
I have to admit I was hoping for something great, from this app. This app just randomly says sentences that have nothing to do with the surroundings or really, anything. It’s a play app. Not a real recording device.
I want my money back
I don’t wanna be rude bc i usually don’t review apps but the motion issues is not fixed.. I feel like I just wasted 5$ on an app that won’t even work.. if I can’t use the app can I at least get my money back bc I don’t have much money to be spending and I got this app originally to talk to my dead cousin
Update a few months later
After using several devices,
apps, and the like - this does not match up with actual paranormal events. Even when I’ve had EMF readings, dowsing rod confirmations and flashlights turn on, this app has never proven accurate. It’s programmed to spit out a phrase every 1-99 seconds. Longest pause time I’ve had was 92 seconds. Spirits aren’t that obsessive with humans, generally speaking.

Not working
Says something about motion
No good
No good keeps saying motion sensor and after it’s on it continues to say the same!
I had to delete this app
I didn’t want my “smart phone” to become more dumb. Complete stupidity. Just let it run while watching tv Matthew. 🤣 That’s literally the random nonsense this app produces.
Can’t use it
Apparently, anything after IOS16, you can’t use this app. Disappointing.
scam
It's a scam app doesn't work on iPhone. Don't buy it. It will tell you to activate motion when you don't even have motion settings and then when you request a refund, it won't even let you refund it.
Troubleshooting
I can’t get it to work it says open settings & to approve motion & fitness but I have that on but it won’t show app so the app doesn’t work for me at all sadly. Idk why
Cannot use for iPhone XS
I downloaded this app and I paid for it and I can’t use it because the motion tracker is nowhere to be found to disable it
WASTE OF $$ !
This app is a total gimmick. I really wish I wouldn’t have bought it. It has a script, it says something creepy and then throws out random names and words, obviously in hopes that you’ll relate to something it says. maybe donate five dollars to someone’s GoFundMe. This is such a waste of time!
App kicks me off
The app keeps kicking me out everytime I try to get in
Robbed of the $4.99 fee. I have an Apple 15 - Wont down load and open.
Dint buy this it doesn’t work
Issue getting passed motion and fitness to turn it on
I can’t get this app to work, i have uninstalled and added the app back,cause i do not get the option about motion and fitness tracking, and it is really annoying me cause i paid for this app and can’t even use
