Irene’s Spirit ($1.99)
Version 1.0
REVIEW – “This completely unique app turns your phone into an illusion that your friends will not believe!”
This app completely took me by surprise. It is unlike anything else I have seen for the iphone because it’s whole purpose is to communicate with the dead. You actually get to ask Irene’s Spirit questions and she will answer with amazing accuracy. She will never fail and will definitely have your friends amazed and willing to believe just about anything.
Now no, this app does not really allow you to communicate with the dead, but it definitely gives that illusion. This app is very involved and it has certainly done just about anything possible to make sure the trick behind it is completely hidden.
Now the app offers a very indepth tutorial so that with a little bit of practice you will be able to fool just about anyone, at least for a few rounds. But for the sake of the review I will give you some of the highlights.
When you first open the app there is a main menu across the bottom with three categories: Illusion, tutorial and settings. This is pretty self-explanatory but there is an important thing to note here. In settings mode you can modify the name that Irene refers to you by and you can even have it so that the menu does not show up. If you turn off the menu then the app will automatically start in illusion mode.
Now once you enter illusion mode, the secrets of how to make Irene work are known only to you and to make sure no one else figures it out. So you never have to worry about busy bodies finding out just how to make contact with Irene.
So what is the illusion? Well all you have to do is have someone ask their question aloud to Irene. Then Irene answers their question with perfect accuracy. Even if they look over your shoulder they will have a hard time figuring out just how the app works.
I tried this app out on my husband and it had him completely stumped for a while and he could not figure it out. This of course made my day because he’s rarely ever stumped by anything. It took him completely watching the movements of my fingers to know what was going on.
What happens is that when they ask a question you input “Irene, can you answer the question for us?” Irene starts her magic and within a few moments she has the correct answer. It truly must be seen to be believed and I promise you that Irene is never wrong, though she can’t look into the future and she can’t solve the mysteries of the Universe, there’s only so much that ghosts can remember from school. But keep things relatively simple and she’ll be sure to amaze.
This app is too much fun and my husband now is jealous and can’t wait to try it out on his work friends and I will be sure to try it out on my friends and family as well. Being able to turn your phone into a very believable magic trick is an awesome thing.
Overall I think this app is great fun and very well priced. I couldn’t wait to try it when I saw it in the app store and I have had a great time toying around with it ever since I downloaded it. Try it!

Sorry my English is bad. I bought this Fastástico APP but he does not speak my language. This is a trick that MUST be performed in the native language, then only works for those whose mother tongue is English. I suggest that in a future version, the same way we can change our name from “SETTINGS”, also the 2 texts that the performer has to be allocated and the 2 answers Irene, had to be altered, thus solving the problem of language. Can thus be presented in any language: Chinese, Russian, English, Spanish, French, Brazilian (Portuguese speaking) German, etc.. This way worked for all languages. I await the next version.
Forgive my impertinence
Thanks
