Ghost Radar®: Legacy

Platform: Android

Rated:  (5)

The description says this app works on the same principle as traditional detection equipment—employing your smartphone’s sensors to measure electromagnetic fields, sounds and vibrations. Remarkably, it does so without requiring the Android API’s permissions which would allow it to do so.

So how on earth does it measure these things without access to the sensors and the mic? Duh. Through the supernatural, obviously.

I think it might even be using the DerekAcorah API because when it revealed the first words of a nearby ghost (“snake” and “oil” if you’re curious), I collapsed onto the floor and started muttering “kreed, kreeeeeed, kreed kafer, KREED KAFER!” like an elderly scouse nut job.

Nearby spirits are quite sarcastic too. One of them said “one”, “born”, “every” and then “m”, but shut its ghostly gob when I pointed out that I obtained Ghost Radar Legacy as part of Amazon’s free app of the day promotion.
