TAPS APP FAQ's

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:10:16 -0700

TAPS APP FAQ’s

1. What is Flash Mode?

Flash mode allows the user to observe sensor activity from far away. When it is enabled, the entire device will flash red when a vibration is sensed. The device will also flash yellow when an EMF value is detected that is above the threshold you have set on the EMF sensor.

2. What device hardware is needed to support the TAPS app?

The TAPS app requires the following device features: GPS capability, eCompass/Magnetometer, Accelerometer, Audio Recording, Microphone.

3. My Android device can’t find the app in the Play Store.

If your device can’t find the application in the store, it is because your phone is not compatible with our app! Google checks the app for the features we use and decides whether or not your particular device is compatible. Unfortunately we have no control over this, as Google is making the decision. (See #2 above for required features).

4. Why does the TAPS app not work on all Android devices?

The TAPS app requires the following device features: GPS capability, eCompass/Magnetometer, Accelerometer, Audio Recording, Microphone. In addition to this, the device must be running Android OS version 4.0. Because of the vast differences in the capabilities and models of Android phones, some are incompatible with the TAPS app.

5. Is the TAPS app available for Kindle Fire?

TAPS cannot be run on the Kindle Fire. It lacks the necessary hardware to allow the TAPS app to be able to function.

6. I can’t see all the sensors on my smaller device. I only see the EMF sensor. Why?

On smaller devices, only one sensor can fit on the screen at a time. You need to swipe on the screen from right to left like you are turning pages in a book. That will show you the other sensors.

Why the TAPS App is Not a Toy

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 13:41:14 -0700

Why the TAPS App is Not a Toy

There are several paranormal mobile applications on the market currently. Many of them are for entertainment purposes only, and are listed as such on the stores. The TAPS app is definitely NOT an ‘For Entertainment Only’ application. In fact, Fuzzywhite Hawes spent several days in discussions with Apple to prove to them that this application was not for entertainment purposes. They agreed, and allowed us to put it in the Utilities category.

The TAPS app can be trusted as an accurate and effective tool for investigations. Here is why. Mobile devices are really micro computers. They have serious computational power. Tasks can be accomplished on a mobile device today that would have taken a room full of computers just 30 years ago. Mobile devices have sensors that accurately detect the environment in which they are being used. For example, geolocation can be used to pinpoint where the device is located. Cell tower triangulation is often used in law enforcement to locate a missing person.

Also, a large number of applications on the market rely on the very slightest movements of the device. The reason these applications are very popular is because the movement detection is accurate. Movement detection is accomplished by the Accelerometer sensor. This sensor is so accurate that it can detect the seismic movements of the earth.

Mobile devices also have a Magnetometer sensor. This sensor detects the slightest variations in Electro-Magnetic Fields. It is perfect for paranormal investigations.

There are those who suggest that a mobile device should not be used for paranormal investigation. We would strongly disagree. Here are some of the reasons offered and a rebuttal for each.

1) Mobile phones can be a distraction because people can get text messages and phone calls during an investigation

The answer to this is simple - use airplane mode. Airplane mode stops the device from being able to receive or send any data. However, the sensors still work so you can still investigate.

2) The magnetic readings cannot be trusted on a cellular device because of data bursts.

Again, the answer here is airplane mode. There can be no data bursts in airplane mode.

3) Cell phones are just not as good as dedicated equipment for paranormal investigation.

This is not necessarily true. Mobile devices that have the features discussed above cost several hundreds of dollars (unless you sign up for a long term contract). Again, these are sophisticated micro-computers - much more sophisticated then a single purpose $100 EMF meter.

Here is the bottom line. If you have a mobile device, you have paid good money for it. If you can use the computing power and sensors of that device for investigation, why wouldn’t you? What matters is that the application you are using is accurate, trustworthy, and tested in the field. We have spent nearly an entire year developing the TAPS app to assure that it is a valid, useful investigation tool. We would not put our personal and organizational reputations at risk, if we were not confident of the validity and usefulness of this app.

“Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.”–Stephen Covey

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”–Winston Churchill

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.”— Thomas J. Watson

“It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.”–Arnold Toynbee

Haunted Graves

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:26:47 -0700

Haunted Graves :

Can you keep the Dead dead? This app is one of many games and tools coming from Fuzzywhite Hawes (FWH). FWH is a collaboration between reality TV star Jason Hawes of TAPS and Fuzzywhite Technology.
Haunted Graves is a highly addicting ghost hunting game for all ages.
Something is just not right in this cemetery. The ghosts do not want to stay dead. You can help by dragging them back to their graves before they escape. Be especially careful of the green banshees. They will suck out your health much faster than the other ghosts. If you can survive long enough and send enough ghosts back to their graves, you will be rewarded with a one use ghost blaster weapon to eliminate all the ghosts on the screen at once. Use it wisely, as it may be your only chance to survive. Happy ghost hunting!
