So I decided to purchase additional sounds/tones. I purchased 3 packs of sound and they do not work. Attempted to fet a hold of developer but haven’t received a response. ### 5/5 — Review *2019-04-25* Great ### 3/5 — Doesn't Work in Hangouts *2019-02-19* This is a real issue for me! Aside from that, it does work on iMessage but it's generally a glitch app. ### 1/5 — Bites *2017-04-16* App will not open if it doesn't work get rid of it ### 1/5 — iPhone locks up! *2016-11-27* This app caused my phone to Lock up frequently.
