I love this app because I can use it to scare the crap out of family and friends! Once someone broke into my home so I hooked up my phone to my 500 watt stereo, cranked it up high, and blared the intruder alarm and he got so scared he ran out of my house with a piss trail behind him!

If only they had stuff like this when I was a kid I would have been on a first name basis with my school's principal!

### 5/5 — The greatest app ever created!

*2014-11-01, version 4.1*

Love love love this app! This app & AirPlay are a match made in heaven! Need a little something to combat the annoying neighbours? Need something to ward off annoying strangers around your place so you could afford some peace? This app is your answer! SUGGESTION: Would love the ability to record my taps & presses & play those recordings on a loop even when the device is locked! Would be oh-so-convenient if the app wouldn't require my involvement and yet still have my signature!! 😜
