How can we help?
You will find most answers right here. If yours is not among them, have a look at the full FAQ or send us a message.
Which cameras does Ghost warn about?
Ghost warns you about known fixed speed cameras and average-speed zones, from its own camera database, which is updated continuously. It does not warn about police checks, and it is not a live feed from other drivers.
Where can I use Ghost?
You can use Ghost in 130 countries, with more than 125,000 speed cameras worldwide. The rules for camera warnings differ from country to country, so please check them wherever you drive. In Switzerland, where camera warners are prohibited, Ghost gives no warnings inside the country. In some countries the law requires warnings to be given as zones rather than exact positions.
Does Ghost warn me when another app is open or the screen is off?
Yes. Ghost keeps working in the background, so the warning tone reaches you with the phone locked or another app in front. You never need to have Ghost on screen.
Can I keep using my navigation app?
Yes, please do. Ghost does not calculate routes and does not replace your navigation app, so keep whichever one you like. Ghost simply runs alongside it and adds the camera warning.
Does Ghost work with CarPlay, Android Auto and Apple Watch?
Yes. On CarPlay, Ghost shows the warning as a Dashboard tile on the car screen, and Android Auto shows the same warning on the car screen. On Apple Watch you feel a gentle vibration on your wrist and see the key camera information. Exactly what appears depends on your car, your phone and the platform version.
How do I report a wrong camera?
Tap the plus button. While you are driving, the tap simply marks the spot, and once you have stopped you can choose Fixed camera or Average speed zone. On the map, tap a camera to tell us it has gone or is in the wrong place. Your report goes to our own server, where it helps us correct the database, and it never warns other drivers in real time.
Will it drain my battery?
Ghost uses GPS while you drive, so it does use some battery, roughly as much as a navigation app. It does not keep GPS running when you are not driving.
Why did I not get a warning for a camera?
No camera list anywhere is complete, and your phone can lose its position in a tunnel or between tall buildings. Think of Ghost as a second pair of eyes rather than a guarantee. The signs on the road and your own judgement always come first.
What does Ghost cost?
Ghost starts with a 7‑day free trial, and after that you need an auto-renewing subscription to keep using it. You choose monthly or annual in the app, and you see your local price before you subscribe.
How do I cancel?
You manage your subscription in your Apple or Google account settings, not inside Ghost. There you can see your plan, turn off renewal or cancel. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Can I share my subscription with my family?
On iPhone, yes. With Apple Family Sharing you can share Ghost with up to five more people in your family group at no extra cost, as long as Family Sharing is turned on for the subscription. Google Play does not support sharing a subscription with family members, so on Android each person needs their own.
Which languages does Ghost support?
Ghost is available in 49 languages and follows the language set on your phone. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu read right to left, and speeds and limits always use the same digits as the road signs.
What data does Ghost collect?
Your position is used on your phone to work out which cameras are near you. It is not sent as a stream and it is not stored as a journey history. A few things do leave the phone: camera reports you choose to send, which go to our own server; a random installation ID used for licensing and anonymous usage counts; your subscription status, through Apple, Google and RevenueCat; and your email address if you write to us or join the Ghost community, together with the country you chose. There are no ads and we never sell your data. The Privacy Policy has the detail.
