About this app

P-GB11 is a virtual version of the famous P-SB11, the Spirit Box that paranormal investigators use the most.

There is + and - control buttons for each channel - for both the FM and AM channel. One can scan both channels at the same time and choose directions independently for the scanning of each channel - forward and backward. Scanning speeds can be adjusted to several different levels from slow all the way up to very fast.

The volume can be controlled independently for each of the two channels. There is also a mute button. Some users prefer to not use an antenna and therefore there is an on/off button for the antenna.

There is also a very useful MUTE button for when the investigator wants to ask a question.

Ratings and reviews

This app shows promise as a radio frequency sweeping communicator. Unfortunately, the developer chose to poison it with full screen video ads that completely interrupt its function and hijack your screen at random intervals. Ordinarily I would be glad to pay three bucks to upgrade to a Pro version, so as to avoid the ads, but the way this is built... No way. I won't support this behavior. Two thumbs WAY down!

Main issue: If I wanted to find ads, this would be a 5 star review. I get developer wants $$ for the work. Just offer it as a paid app from the start. If it is offered free, there's an expectation of workability to decide if it's worth the $$. I couldn't tell if this is a good app and did what it says due to the excessive ad interference within seconds of turning it on. Second issue: There is no recording ability for later playback. That's a necessary option for post-investigative follow-up.

The app seemed to hang then started playing what I discovered to be a 3 minute 30 second loop of several clips of staged recorded radio transmissions after I noticed it repeating a clip that used the word "androgynous". The only thing it could be is a recording it samples for the voices to make you believe it's picking up an EVP when in fact it's a fake app. No mistake about it being actual radio interference and I had to force stop the app to end it. I paid to remove ads and we all got scammed.
