It’s that time again; time for another review of a Ghost App! This is another app for iOS and it’s called Ghost Detector Tool. iTunes has this to say:
Simply scan areas of your house at different frequency ranges to see if you can hear anything! If you can’t pick anything up, try moving to a new area, using different frequencies, or asking questions/ giving messages to the other side. This app is best used alone!
If the picture looks like something out of a bad Sega CD game, allow me to explain how it works.
What happens in this app is that after you turn it on it pops up with a camera that shows you what you’re looking at. The camera’s colors can be adjusted using the spectrum and gain settings because allegedly various colors will reveal more ghosts or something. As you scan the screen may occasionally start to turn into static to indicate a presence. If it goes into full static mode, a picture overlay may appear (such as a skull, a face, etc) and it will say a word.
So on the outside it isn’t as complicated as Ghost Radar but it is much cheesier. The static thing is only there to scare you, as is the picture of a skull or whatever that may pop up. ONOZ A BAD SPIRIT! The words are near impossible to hear even if you have the phone turned up all the way, making it pointless. It doesn’t display the word on the screen so if you miss it then that’s it, you miss it.
If they got rid of the static and the spooky picture overlay they might be able to fool some more people. Like the other app that we reviewed, as a joke to scare someone this might work OK (though not as good as the other since you can’t actually understand the words it spits out). As a serious ghost hunting tool don’t even waste your time with this one.
Cost: free
Rating: 0/5 for ghost hunting, 2/5 for joking around.
Next time will be an Android app that people have claimed to have fairly good results with. Due to the nature of this upcoming app it might be a little longer before we get a review out on it. Look forward to it!
