Weird game. Don’t recommend

First of all, it doesn’t sound like backwards at all.
Second of all, even when i exit out of the game, it still records my voice.
Once again i dont recommend it!!

Didn’t work

Does not work

Creepy

It’s creepy because when it plays your word backwards it kind of sounds like it’s out of a horror movie and it isn’t that fun either so I deleted it but this is my opinion

One of the best uses of my time.

This application is wonderful. It's a very good social application and can entertain a group of people in any setting. I can spend hours learning how to say things backwards. You would think that an app like this is useless, but it is not and it's very fun. Only one catch: it looks like this latest version needs to be manually closed by double-clicking the home button and swipe in the application away. basically it won't close it just runs in the background. Other than that I think this is the most awesomest application ever.
Thank you for the June 2017 update. I've always kept the faith that you'd someday update it.
