About SpecTrek

** Android Developer Challenge II prize winner **

Experience this revolutionary augmented reality ghost hunting game. Walk or run around using GPS and your phone's camera to find and catch virtual ghosts.

The game starts out as a fun navigation game but at higher levels it becomes a genuine fitness game if you want it to.

The game offers statistics, awards, titles, records, and most of all a whole lot of fun!

- If you have trouble with the GPS reception, try to play in an open area
- If the ghosts do not appear at the correct position in "camera mode", you might need to reset the compass by making some figure-eight motions with your phone.

I bought this to play along with my bf, who's had it for years. It seems like a fun way to get outside and wander. However, on my Samsung Galaxy Avant, I can't even see any of the menus, so I can't create a named profile or anything. Definitely disappointing since I paid money for this.

Great game. I wish I could make the search area even smaller though so it could fit in my yard or street. A free form drawable search area would be amazing!

This was my favorite game in the ADC2 back in 2009. I enjoyed it so much I paid for the full version when released. Too bad some of that Pokemon Go money isn't finding it's way here. It's also too bad that even though this game has been around so long people might consider it a copy of Pokemon Go even though it's the other way around.

This is truly a great game! The only suggestion is to be able to track multiple profiles during a game ei: when my husband and I play together. Otherwise, we're still enjoying the game for 3 years and running!

A really fun concept which, though polished for what it is, could use some more features. For instance, how hard would it be to implement a variety of different spooks, rather than just a generic cartoon sheet-ghost? Or maybe have a poltergeist that messes with your display and makes it harder to catch things. Or maybe a malignant ghost that follows you while you're out, so you always have to be on the move and plan your path carefully to avoid being gobbled up. The metrics the game provides are great--it's easy to see how far you walked, what level you are, your habits, and it even calculates calories burned (which is great for one's self esteem). Though very similar to geocaching, I can't imagine this becoming a lifestyle like caching is for many people. It's simply too basic. As it is, it's a simple, fun distraction. Walk your dog, catch a few specters on the way. I've had some good times going out onto a public golf course at night and catching ghosts on the green when everyone's asleep. Five stars for that.

This really is a fun game, only suggestion is to add more options for level size and difficulty. I live near a large body of water and some inaccessible areas so some smaller area size at higher levels would be awesome. But other than that, it's truly a great game.

Please fix this, if someone calls you during a game or you want to check a text the game closes and you lose everything. Otherwise would be excellent!

Yes with this game helping me I've lost weight. I live in the countryside on the side of a mountain. So gate to climb, rivers to cross, forests to crawl through. Fantastic game.

This game is good fun, I just wish more stuff would be added. Maybe hostile ghosts and smaller custom map sizes. Hope more stuff comes soon!

This is probably my favorite app. I used to be a big gamer, so I was hooked from my very first game. My wish list for SpecTrek -- 1. Reduce the minimum game duration to 5 minutes so the arena radius is more manageable (I work next to an airport and a major highway -- not much space). 2. Some documentation other than the 'About' menu item. Again, great game.

Doesnt seem to get the gps fix. Which is weird because everything else seems to be ok with my gps settings. Totally disappointed. : (

Kids love this game. Its really a great game for us. Would be greater if you could make smaller maps and random ghost sprites.
