My son can design better ### 1/5 — Bosta *2014-10-15* Travado ### 2/5 — Its at best is just a toy. *2014-09-17, version 1* All someone has to do is turn the phone off or turn the volume down. ### 2/5 — Huh?? *2014-07-15, version 1* How dose this app work?!?!?!? ### 3/5 — Meh? *2014-07-02, version 1* It's weard that you haft to pay 4 it ### 2/5 — This game *2014-03-21, version 1* I just got it yesterday and I think it's kind of stupid but I need to get to know it more ### 3/5 — Good. If you want a low security app. *2014-02-25, version 1* Works well with motion detecting but you can just exit out of the app and it stops. And the screen has to be on. Make it a high security app and let the lock screen go on so you have to know that password in order to turn off the app. Good idea though ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2014-01-22, version 1* Doesn't work ### 1/5 — Is the home button bug fixed??? *2013-11-21, version 1* Otherwise it's not a waste of space.... Big compliment coming from me haha ### 3/5 — It's ok *2013-11-20, version 1* Works okay but I don't really like it. Buy it if you want I don't think it's very good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works as if 11 *2018-10-02, version 1* Not good anymore ### 1/5 — Horible! *2017-10-24, version 1* I hear by give this super crapy trophy to this app,give it a round of aboooooooooooo. Don't buy it! ### 1/5 — Won't run with other apps up *2016-06-28, version 1* Wanted detector while my phone transmits music to me Bluetooth This won't run in reduced screen while music player is playing FAIL ### 1/5 — Won't popup keyboard so that you can turn off alarm with PIN *2016-04-24, version 1* Worthless. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — ZERO SECURITY *2016-01-14, version 1* While it does sound the alarm, anybody can shut it down even when the PIN is activated or enabled, and definitely no fingerprint verification. This is dangerous since it gives you a false sense of security. The SIRI shuts the sound down, of course when activated. ### 1/5 — App is the worst app of all apps *2015-04-05, version 1* When its on you move it it goes the alarm sounds but if you go to the home page it wont sound hate it do it will be the worst mistake you've ever done ### 1/5 — Yardım *2014-12-30, version 1* Arkadaslar acıyorum olece beklıyo uygulama calısmıyor yardım edin ### 1/5 — Waste of time and MB *2014-12-14* No use of this app ### 1/5 — Ugh *2014-12-04, version 1* Worst app ever ### 1/5 — Not working *2014-11-23, version 1* I have yet to be able to get past the first screen that says calibrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can u please *2020-04-15, version 1* Can u please put this back to use ### 5/5 — Bom *2016-11-04* É bom o app pra quem fuçam no seu iphone vc broqueia ae ela imite um alerta quando vão pega lo, serve pra zuar seus amigos, bom app gostei ### 5/5 — Efficiently Use This App *2016-10-27, version 1* This app works if the app is open, if your phone is on, and even when it is locked. Just let the app scan your two fingers (just for show), then it will turn the sound system and motion detectors on. Hold the phone in a still position and press your lock button. If you open your phone the alarm won't go off but the password will prevent people from getting in. I've caught one person trying to take it (it was just a friend) because they had no idea the alarm was on. This app is really fun ### 5/5 — OMG BEST APP EVER 😍😍😍😍😍 *2015-09-02, version 1* I caught my bro on my iPod twice and this app works so well!!!! It sometimes picks up footsteps and other vibrations which is cool. Anyway I should be able to catch him at it now!!!😈😈😈 if you have little siblings who sneak on your device just turn it over and leave the app on so they have to turn it over and make sure that the volume is on high so you can hear it! Love this app!!!!! ### 5/5 — Burglar Alarm *2015-03-08, version 1* So I have a fridge full of ice cream so my brother thinks he's slick so he goes to get some while I'm sleeping then the alarm goes off (saved by the bell) ### 5/5 — Good!!!! *2013-12-29, version 1* it can stop someone but y can't it go to the home screen and when some one disable it will go off. ### 5/5 — Ninja *2013-10-07, version 1* This game is awesome hurry to play ### 5/5 — Yay its great! *2013-09-20, version 1* I like it! ### 5/5 — Great! *2013-08-28, version 1* I read all the reviews with the home button issue, but it doesn't matter, it only has to go off for a few seconds to scare the person, this is great!!! Love it😉😀😜 ### 5/5 — ☺☺☺ *2013-07-26, version 1* 😉😉حلووووووووووو --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
