### 3/5 — Not bad

*2011-04-06*

This app isn't terrible, it does what it says it will, but one improvement I could think of is that make it so that you can record songs straight from your iPod and not through your cd player or whatever to the michrophone on your headphones.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2021-02-25*

Does not work

### 1/5 — Cannot Quit App

*2017-05-24, version 3.0*

App cannot be stopped after starting under iOS 10 on iPhone 7

### 1/5 — If I could I'd give it 0

*2016-09-07*

Don't buy it's an absolute waste of money. I got this app because I thought that playing BackWords with some friends would be hilarious and it was - but without this app! This app is awful. I thought that if I paid for it then the app would most likely be of better quality but it wasn't at all! It doesn't work probably because it's so quiet and you can't play the original recording back after recording again; it was awful and please don't waste your money on this app.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

### 1/5 — 👎

*2013-10-27, version 2.0*

It's not working!!!!!!! I hate it waste of money

### 1/5 — Want to love it but..

*2013-10-25, version 2.0*

There's no place to input a title for saving, and regardless the save function simply does not work at all. 

Fix this major issue and I will update this review.

### 2/5 — Weird game. Don’t recommend

*2021-02-28, version 3.1*

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!!

### 2/5 — Creepy

*2020-04-30*

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

### 3/5 — Really fun but gets boring

*2012-04-16, version 2.0*

It is really fun when u first get it but then it gets really boring!!!!!! But I do recommend this app 2 people who don't get easily bored.

### 5/5 — One of the best uses of my time.

*2017-06-17, version 3.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2014-01-01, version 2.1*

So much fun, love playing this with the family! After the ios7 update I had problems with this app but after turning on the microphone under the privacy settings, it went back to normal. Would highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Really Fun!

*2013-12-04, version 2.1*

This is a pretty fun app! Me and my friends love this app. We always play it together when we get bored or need a good laugh.

### 5/5 — Great but

*2013-10-23*

Was working fine but with the new apple update no longer picking up sound !

### 5/5 — Great time killer!

*2013-09-02, version 2.0*

My friends and I visit amusement parks a lot and came across figuring out saying things backwards. Yes we are weird. Wanting to put our weirdness to the test, we've experimented figuring out ride names, said backwards...can you figure out what namtaB is? (Thanks Six Flags for the inspiration, with their backwards rides)

### 5/5 — I loved it until it DELETED itself!!!

*2012-07-04, version 2.0*

Yes I had fun times with this app until it DELETED ITSELF a day or two ago!!! Very fun, BEWARE for it deleting itself...

### 5/5 — Unique n fun!

*2012-02-17*

I was surprised how much fun this app is. Although not included you can make it a good part game by leaving the room recording a phrase playing it back and then getting the other players to guess by recording the word backwards. Wickedly fun.

### 5/5 — Hilarious + weird

*2012-01-18, version 2.0*

It's a pretty good ,does what it says and you can alternate how high or low you want your voice to sound. I had fun playing with it.

### 5/5 — Wow that's creepy lol

*2011-12-23, version 1.1*

Great app. It works pretty good

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2011-11-22*

Does exactly what it says, speak into it and it replays your audio backwards or as recorded. works well if this is what your looking for!
