## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Demo mode

*2025-04-19*

Wanted to love this but it only ever said demo mode and there is not documentation or settings to speak of.

**Developer response:** This is wrong, and was clearly written before the recent updates. The user could not work out how to exit demo mode, and there is now an obvious button on screen to enter settings, and in addition the app no longer boots in demo mode on the first run.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-10-11*

It just repeats a bat recording. Also, you can’t buy the bat detector assembled or in parts if you live in America.

The parts to build a device are available in the US, but the PCBs must be imported from China, but are extremely cheap - $5 for 10. In addition, manufactured items are now available in the US from Apodemus resellers.

### 2/5 — Demo mode

*2025-06-18, version 2.0*

It says to turn demo on/off go into settings yet the doesn’t seem to be any settings.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-05-14, version 1.92*

Works well with a pippyg configured as a usb mic.
I can only assume the 1 stars are from people who never found the mic enable setting

### 5/5 — Whale by songs

*2024-08-28*

Amazing
