### 2/5 — No Audio?

*2026-04-07*

I desperately wish that the audio actually worked for this app. We love to play the game and the app works just fine without the audio, but it was so disappointing to see that there SHOULD be different narrators and not actually be able to use it.

### 3/5 — Audio stopped working

*2026-03-06, version 7.1.0*

App worked and the ln the audio stopped. I removed the app and redownloaded it and it still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Volume broken/No voices=No Fun

*2026-02-11, version 7.1.0*

I wish the volume was fixed for this game. Using a regular timer takes the excitement/humor out of the game.

### 5/5 — Appointed

*2026-01-18, version 7.1.0*

Downloaded to play and there’s sound coming from the app.

### 3/5 — No longer works

*2025-11-27, version 7.1.0*

The timer app was great, but stopped working either after I changed phones or upgraded iOS. Please fix!

### 2/5 — Schade

*2025-10-11*

Leider kein Ton auf iPhone, sonst eine coole Sache

### 2/5 — Sound doesn’t work with ringer sound off

*2025-09-15, version 7.1.0*

Sound doesn’t work with ringer sound off.

### 3/5 — Kein Sound

*2025-08-28, version 7.1.0*

Nett, aber kein Sound

### 3/5 — It’s a good timer

*2025-08-24, version 7.1.0*

But there’s no music or narrator.  Just a silent timer

### 1/5 — No sound

*2025-08-11, version 7.1.0*

Downloaded this to play along with my son. Audio and music turned on is settings, but no sound or music play. My husband and I both downloaded to see if it was our phone settings/user error. Nope. Doesn't work for either of us.
