### 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.

### 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

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

### 2/5 — No Sound

*2025-07-20, version 7.1.0*

Installed the app, but no sound. The timer is cool, but music and the voice would have been great.

### 2/5 — Cool timer but no sound

*2025-06-25, version 7.1.0*

All has multiple narrator voices and I was excited to use it but no matter what I do there is no sound.   Timer part works great but it would be much better if there was sound.

### 2/5 — No se escucha en el IPhone 16

*2025-06-17, version 7.1.0*

No se escucha en el IPhone 16

### 3/5 — Sound stopped

*2025-05-26*

Sound stopped working after first game. Tried reinstalling and changing orientation and voice style. Nadda. 
My son started using default phone timer since it will play sound. 
Hope this gets fixed, it was a good touch to the game. Looks like it’s a common app problem.

### 2/5 — Kein Ton

*2025-02-22*

Leider funktioniert kein Ton sehr schade macht es irgendwie ja schon auch aus.

*2025-01-07, version 7.1.0*

Funciona bien en el iPhone 15 y en un iPad 10.2 pero en iPhone 14 no se escucha nada

### 2/5 — No se escucha ningún sonido

*2024-10-28, version 7.1.0*

Bajé la app, se me muy buena pero los narradores en cualquier idioma no se escuchan

### 4/5 — Excelente

*2024-10-02, version 7.1.0*

Los audios le dan ese toque extra que te dan ganas de utilizar este timer. Si con el tiempo van agregando más voces caracterizadas en sus diferentes audios como ya los tiene en su versión en inglés. Lo haría demasiado divertido.

### 2/5 — Sounds stops working

*2024-09-25, version 7.1.0*

I have redownloaded this multiple times bc the sound will stop working if I don’t use the app for a while.

*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.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2025-08-11, version 7.1.0*

### 5/5 — Appointed

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

### 5/5 — sehr gut

*2025-05-16*

gute qualität und eine vielfalt an sprachen und akzenten

### 5/5 — Witzige Stimmen und gute spannende Musik - iPhone Stumm-Modus ausschalten

*2025-03-30*

An alle mit Soundproblemen: schaltet den Stumm-Modus eures iPhones aus! Da kann die App nichts für den Anwender-Fehler! Der Timer macht genau das was er soll. Es gibt verschiedene Stimmen und spannende Musik, um die Level schneller spielen zu können. ;)

### 5/5 — Tienen que desactivar el modo silencio del iPhone

*2025-03-01, version 7.1.0*

Veo muchos comentarios a cerca de que no se escucha la app, para ser sincero a mí también me sucedió, pero se arregla desactivando el modo silencio con el toggle o el botón de acción. 👍

### 5/5 — Cose belle

*2024-12-31, version 7.1.0*

Bellissima come il gioco

### 5/5 — Works if phone/tablet are not in silent mode

*2024-07-20*

Make sure the mechanical switch on the side of your device is in the “on” position and then crank up the volume!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2023-09-15*

Sound works

### 5/5 — Great App, must turn off mute to hear it!

*2023-02-20*

Adds tons of atmosphere to the game, and great selection of voices to choose from.  But you must turn off the mute switch on your phone or you’ll get no sound in the app!

### 5/5 — Macht echt fun

*2022-03-17, version 5.11*

… der Zeitdruck und der Spaß am Spiel dazu!

### 5/5 — Macht was sie soll / Ton Trick für iPhone

*2021-09-03*

Klappt alles wunderbar. Anfangs ebenfalls kein Ton gehabt auf dem iPhone dann jedoch den Trick gefunden.

Für alle die auf dem iPhone kein Ton haben:

Den Schalter für Stummschaltung umlegen, damit der Ton an ist. Dreht ihr jetzt den Sound auf habt ihr Ton
