Features & Capabilities

SPI (Spirit Phone Innovations) delivers an experimental ITC research platform that uses AI to analyze real-time environmental audio. Unlike traditional ITC tools with fixed word banks, SPI aims for open-ended exploration, enabling researchers to detect patterns beyond scripted phrases and to log findings for comparison across sessions and locations.

Key features include SAM Mode for real-time audio analysis, no word bank limitations, session logging and word history, optional language translation, estimated voice characteristics, and community activity mapping with GPS directions. Subscriptions (Standard and Ghost) offer EVP detection, frequency controls, hotspot reporting, and multi-language translation. SPI is designed for exploration and documentation; results are not guaranteed and may vary.

User Reviews

Users largely praise SPI as a powerful paranormal investigation tool, especially its SAM mode, which many call the standout feature and report accurate EVP-like responses. However, a large portion of reviews center on a problematic monetization shift: paying upfront and then being asked for a subscription, with many feeling grandfathering was unfair. Other frequent issues include login/account creation problems, recurring glitches (black screens, playback issues), and difficulty obtaining refunds or restoring purchases. Despite the positives, ongoing stability and billing frustrations dominate the sentiment.
Pros
  • Effective paranormal investigation tool with reportedly accurate EVP responses.
  • SAM mode is highly praised and considered the standout feature.
  • User-friendly and easy to use for both beginners and experienced investigators; keeps logs and supports multiple languages.
  • Positive mentions that the app is valuable for paranormal investigations.
Cons
  • Cost shift to a subscription after an upfront purchase; many reviewers feel they were not grandfathered in and were misled.
  • Persistent login/sign-in and account creation issues that lock users out.
  • Various bugs causing black screens, playback issues, or login glitches.
  • Refunds or restoring the original purchase are difficult or unavailable.

Paid for the app when it was relatively new, which wasn’t a big deal at all. But now on top of that, it’s gone to monthly or yearly subscription plans in order to use something that was already purchased. Not really a shock, as many apps are doing that as well. My issue is it was purchased, so that should’ve been that with no other fees, but now all of us are out of the original fees then have to pay monthly or yearly as well to continue using it. Why not keep the basic with the original fee paid, and charge for the “ghost” plan? Fun while it lasted…lesson learned. Deleted and sticking to the old school methods from now on. I really loved the app and had high hopes for it but ended up super disappointed 😔

Downloaded this app paid for standard subscription which states you can adjust frequency but every time I go to settings and try sliding the adjustment it does nothing. If you tap it it pulls up an option to upgrade to ghost level subscription. I want my money back used the app less than 10 minutes 😡

I paid 15.99 for the app and it was running fine, now I open it and they want a monthly subscription fee ON TOP of it. Scam !! Do NOT download this! The developer states they had to do it. The people that paid for the app did not agree to pay for the app AND to pay for a subscription. Changing it later after they’ve paid is a scam. It is fraud. At least let the people that already paid your outrageous price for it. Use the app without the subscription or refund them their money if not, you’re a con artist and a thief.
