So this has been a passion project for me, with several months development (and then waiting a month and a half for Apple approval for no particular reason).

I love going on paranormal investigations, but something that frustrates me is having recordings / videos / photos / notes in loads of different places that need to be collated together. This led me to have the idea for the SP Investigator app (called SP Investigator after Scottish Paranormal, a paranormal investigation / research group I am a part of).

The app allows you to create an investigation, then add various types of evidence to it, plus comments, and finally export a full report PDF. All evidence items, plus the report, can be shared using the standard iOS sharing functionality.

CURRENT EVIDENCE TYPES AVAILABLE IN THE APP ARE:

🎧 Audio recording

💬 General comments, plus comments against individual evidence logs

🧲 “EMF” recording (along with optional audio at the same time; uses built in magnetometer in the phone for a variation on true EMF)

📸 Photos

🌡️ Temperature (manual entry)

📹 Video

Alongside this, you can create locations within the investigation, so you can tag evidence to specific rooms in a castle, for example.

The app can be downloaded now from the Apple App Store. Further details, including a full user guide, can be found on the app’s dedicated website, www.sp-investigator.com.
