Updates 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 should fix these problems. If you still experience issues, please reach out again. ### 4/5 — Great, but could use some tweaks... *2025-07-22* First off, I've been looking for an app like this forever. It does exactly what it says it will do. There are a few notes I have for the devs. The "add source image" doesn't seem to work. Not sure if it's supposed to let me choose from my Photos.app or an img src from the web. Being able to stop a widget sound would be nice too. It's a big hit with students in class. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback! In the 2.3.2 update, you can now stop sounds from widgets. The edit screens are also clearer so you can tap the image at the top to change it from photos, etc., and add credit or source info below if it’s from the web. ### 5/5 — Love It *2025-05-08* Can’t believe this isn’t more popular than it is! I love the widget feature, super clean. 10/10 would definitely recommend 🙌 ### 5/5 — So much potential and yet… *2023-12-13* An earlier version of this app had import issues, but now that they’ve corrected that, this is easily the best customizable soundboard in the App Store. And at literally a fraction of the price of some of the competitors, it’s a dream come true. It can do just about everything I can think of a soundboard to need to do, in a clean and functional way. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! In Snbd 1.7 released on December 8, 2023, I troubleshooted import exceptions since seeing your comment, so I hope that fixes it. ### 5/5 — Perfect for 8 month old *2023-10-07* My 8 month old loves the animal sounds! He’s more impressed with this than the sounds I make! ### 5/5 — Ervin Jay Kinsinger Sr *2023-10-04* Ervin Jay Kinsinger Sr ### 5/5 — Great for multiple uses! *2023-09-23* Trying to identify a bird, high in the tree, chirping? Looking for sound effects in your life? Looking to entertain a child with an fun phone App? Want to add custom sounds? This is the app for you! ### 5/5 — INCREDIBLE - UNLIMITED FUN *2023-08-31* This app has everything. Sound boards for kids, friends, and all the moments in between. The UI is easy to use and I see myself coming back to this app a lot!! Great work! ### 5/5 — So easy to use & entertaining! *2023-08-30* This app can keep my dog entertained for hours - he LOVES the different animal sound and I love watching his head tilt and question each one. Super easy to use and great interface! ### 5/5 — My 2 year old asks for this app every night! *2023-08-11* As much as I want to limit my daughter screen time, I’m consistently looking for ways to increase her cognitive skills and expand her language. This app has done just that!! She know knows all her colors, numbers, letters, and is starting to learn some instruments! I personally have had a blast using this app with my toddler! It was so easy and intuitive to add my own sounds & fun to think of the next board to surprise her with! She asks for her “sounds” every night. I love the ability to make the images bigger & smaller and customize the colors and labels! From an app perspective, it’s well thought out and design with the target audience at the forefront. Definitely recommend checking out this app! ## Frequently asked questions about Aubo ### What can I do with Aubo?
