Question 1

How does the EMF detector work?

Accepted Answer

Hauntly uses your phone's built-in magnetometer to measure electromagnetic field fluctuations. The app displays real-time readings and logs them to your ghost hunt timeline. Unusual spikes or patterns in EMF readings are commonly associated with paranormal activity.

Question 2

What is EVP and how does the recorder capture it?

Accepted Answer

EVP stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena — unexplained voices or sounds captured in audio recordings. Hauntly's EVP recorder uses your phone's microphone to capture audio during ghost hunts. Free users can record sessions up to 15 seconds, while Pro users get up to 15 minutes. You can choose from multiple background sounds including White Noise and Spirit Box to enhance your sessions.

Question 3

What can I do with EVP recordings after capture?

Accepted Answer

Every recording is saved to your ghost hunt feed. With Hauntly Pro, you unlock the full EVP Analyzer — a suite of audio analysis tools including a frequency spectrum visualiser (FFT), spectrogram view, waveform with zoom and pan, 3-band parametric EQ, audio filters (voice enhance, noise reduction, bass/treble boost), reverse playback, A-B loop analysis, and markers to tag interesting moments.

Question 4

What photo and video features does Hauntly have?

Accepted Answer

Hauntly includes a built-in camera with paranormal-themed visual effects and filters. You can capture photos and video during ghost hunts, and all media is saved directly to your ghost hunt timeline. There's also a photo editor for annotating and highlighting anything unusual you've captured.

Question 5

Does the app work without an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All core features — EMF detection, EVP recording, photo capture, and the ghost hunt journal — work completely offline. Your data is stored locally on your device. You only need an internet connection for app updates or if you're on the free tier (for loading ads).

Question 6

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Accepted Answer

Free gives you access to all core ghost hunting tools: EVP recording (15 seconds), 2 background sounds (White Noise, Spirit Box), basic waveform view, EMF detection, photo/video capture, and the ghost hunt journal. Pro unlocks extended recording (up to 15 minutes), all 8 background sounds, the full EVP Analyzer with spectrogram, frequency spectrum, EQ, audio filters, reverse playback, A-B looping, unlimited markers, PDF export, and removes all ads. You can upgrade to Pro directly from within the app.

Question 7

Does the app drain my battery quickly?

Accepted Answer

We've optimised Hauntly to be as battery-efficient as possible. During a typical ghost hunt, you can expect several hours of continuous use. For longer sessions, we recommend bringing a portable charger.

Question 8

How do I report a bug or suggest a feature?

Accepted Answer

We'd love to hear from you! Send bug reports and feature suggestions to hello@frumpets.co. Please include your device model, OS version, and a description of the issue or idea. You can also reach us through the support button below.

Question 9

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All your ghost hunt data — recordings, photos, notes, and sensor readings — stays on your device. We never upload your investigation data to our servers. The only third-party services we use are Google AdMob (ads for free users) and Sentry (crash reporting). See our Privacy Policy for full details.
