### 1/5 — The branding name need a revision.

*2020-04-03, version 2.6.3*

The branding name need a revision because it too aggressive to the some of the audience. The branding name need to be somewhat more subtle. I suggest to come up with ”BeAware.” ”BeAware” is very subtle title. That can be easy to the audience and to the hearing person to interact with.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-11-29, version 2.6.3*

App doesn’t work - you press start and it just crashes.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2016-11-22, version 2.6*

This app is stuck by asking to update and it hasn't update at all every time we click on the app. It said open but not "update" in the App Store... frustrating!

### 1/5 — Waste time

*2016-11-19, version 2.6*

I touch app but say update many time touch to I decide remove app

### 2/5 — Hearing Perspective?

*2016-11-17, version 2.5*

In terms of the music feature. I played a couple of different songs, different genres, different beats...and the vibrations were the same for all of them and the lights were the same too. 
So there's that?

Все хорошо, только хочется видеть настройки под рукой из интерфейса приложения!

### 3/5 — Notification/lock screen

*2015-06-09, version 1.0*

I want this to be shown on lock screen.  Also, I want to use this as a visible notification light (LED flash) on my iPhone.  I can't feel it when my iPhone sits on the small table or desk. I don't want to hold my iPhone all day. Could you fix it ASAP?
