What happened??? ### 4/5 — No “No!” or “No love you’d call real” sounds *2024-10-30* I love the app but it’s missing some of the original sounds like his abrupt “no” and also “no love you’d call ree-uhl” and “waiting at hoo-ome!” Also after reading the other reviews I’m scared the audio is going to stop working lol (so far so good). Any chance you could add all of the original soundclips for the full soundboard? ### 2/5 — whaaa happened..???!!! *2024-07-08* Downloaded the app worked great -- next day, no sound NOTHING. is this supposed to be an accurate reflection of the diamond career, or a proper reference to his early greatness??? ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2020-12-11, version 2.0* This is the first app i ever bought (like actually paid money for) on my iPhone! Remembered it the other day and re-downloaded. Still great! ### 5/5 — Last App You Need *2019-11-24, version 2.0* I have a church gig I play drums for. We are all on an Aviom in ear system. Long story short, I use my phone for metronome/click. There is nothing better than waiting for the silent moment of prayer. That is when I open Diamond Dave app and hit “goddamnitbabyyouknowIaintlyin” only the musicians with in ears can hear this, and it is magical the affect DLR has on a normal person’s composure. God bless you all. ### 5/5 — Runnin’ with the Devil.... *2019-11-21, version 2.0* Such a simple but fantastic app. Always good at a party. Dave’s voice sounds so harmonically rich. It’s awesome. A must for Van Halen and Dave Lee Roth fans. 🤘🏻🤘🏻 ### 5/5 — Best 99¢ ever spent! *2018-09-18* This app is endlessly entertaining and never gets old! Yeeeaaaahhh! ### 5/5 — HELP!! Sound not working!! *2018-05-25, version 2.0* I love this app but it’s gone silent on me. HELP!!!!! ### 5/5 — WOOO!! *2018-05-17, version 2.0* Diamond Dave rules. In the real world and app world. ### 5/5 — Aaahaaayeaaah! *2018-02-24, version 2.0* This app is fantastic. One (minor) quibble: Where is the "Bop, boze-de-boze-de-bop, se-de-bop" button?! ### 3/5 — Should be a 5 *2017-10-04* I wish I could give it a 5, but I can't because you can't export and send the sound bites as text messages. That would be sweet ### 5/5 — Doesn't work *2017-09-27, version 2.0* It's 9/26/17 and this app would be better to use as ring tones# or within phone calls. Otherwise it's great. ### 5/5 — I can't believe how awesome this is! *2017-08-19* Oh the things imma do with this app! ### 5/5 — My Personal David!! *2017-05-23* My favorite classic rock band is Van Halen and this app rocks!! Thank you so much for making this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Soundboard plays no sound :( *2025-11-15* This Diamond Dave soundboard does not play sound. Maybe not compatible with latest iOs or has a system permissions issue. Either way, not worth the dollar I spent! ### 1/5 — Won’t work-No sound *2024-04-29* I can’t for the life of me figure out why this won’t work, my friends have it and say it’s the best app but every time I press one of the sounds nothing happens. HELPPPPP! Happy to change my rating if we can sort this out! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-04-06, version 2.0* Used to love this app. Went to use it and it doesn’t work anymore. What happened? ### 1/5 — No longer works. *2022-10-25* Worked a couple times, then no longer works, despite rebooting. This should be removed from apple. It’s garbage! ### 1/5 — WHAT HAPPENED? *2020-12-14, version 2.0* The app no longer gives audio, even after rebooting? ### 1/5 — Can’t get audio to work *2017-12-01, version 2.0* Can’t get audio to work. Not a moron. Help ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on phone speaker *2016-02-05, version 2.0* It works great with headphones connected but no sound using the phone's speaker. Makes the app useless. ### 1/5 — No sound *2014-07-22, version 1.2* I wish I had read the reviews prior to purchase, sound does not work on this app, If it's due to not having the most recent phone I hope it's mentioned.. Of course I didn't read that either... long live the mighty Van Halen! ### 1/5 — no audio either *2013-08-20, version 1.2* doesn't play a single phrase. Tried multiple reinstalls. ### 1/5 — Yep *2013-04-07, version 1.2* Don't buy if you have a 4 s. want refund. Kinda pointless since there is no sound. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is the best app I've ever seen *2026-07-01* Well-done! It's criminal how much time I am spending enjoying this app. I wish I could give it more stars. Next updates need to include the Sammy Hagar add-on pack. The Prince and James Brown packs should come as a set, and of course Morrisey for all the sad emo kids. ### 5/5 — Awesome App - make sure phone isn’t silenced! *2025-10-04* I first bought this app over a decade ago and today decided to search if it still existed. By the grace and glory of his name, it does exist. If you have your phone on silent, guess what… it doesn’t make a sound. ### 5/5 — Best app *2025-08-28, version 2.0* I don’t know what I did for so long without this app. It’s a must. ### 5/5 — Diamond 💎 D L R *2025-07-20* The greatest showman in rock n roll history. Now on my iPhone 4EVA ### 5/5 — If Steve Jobs were alive today *2025-05-08* He would proclaim that this is the reason why the iPhone was invented. ### 5/5 — App of the World *2023-11-06* This is the one and only review I will ever write in my life. This app is hands down the greatest human creation. This app changed the world. ### 5/5 — Blows competition out of the water *2023-10-24* This app is art and should be cared for as such. My only complaint is with my health insurance because they wouldn’t cover it ### 5/5 — Diamond 💎 D L R *2023-03-22* The greatest showman in rock n roll history. Now on my iPhone 4EVA ### 5/5 — 5 diamonds 💎 *2022-12-31, version 2.0* DLR is the quintessential front man. Legend His wails, howls and squeals are second to none. Fun cool rock n roll app. 🤘 ### 5/5 — Just weirdly funny *2021-03-21, version 2.0* Odd but fun for a few minutes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
