Too many time I have to hit the repeat button because it’s just chiming instead of saying a word. Some days it just won’t say the word and I just give up. ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2024-04-11* It’s free so I guess I can’t expect a lot. It’s just ok. Most of the time you have to have it repeat the word a few times. It won’t say the work just a sound. Eventually, when it won’t say the word at all I just call it quits for the day and move on to another app for training ### 2/5 — Need updating *2023-11-16, version 1.4.1* Need to update the app to keep current ### 2/5 — Idea is good, but needs a user interface for navigation *2021-05-22, version 1.4.1* Seems impossible to find one’s way between eg settings and exercises. Not updated for 2 years. Maybe someone could sort it out. Please! ### 2/5 — This app is bad *2020-05-18, version 1.4.1* This app has people who speak with an accent. That makes them very hard to understand them and you only do one thing so I give it 1-2 stars ### 3/5 — Help *2017-09-29, version 1.3.1* Since my iPhone was updated to iOS 11, the app no longer works or is not compatible. Please update the app to support this. ### 1/5 — Update *2017-09-25, version 1.3.1* When will it be updated ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Who did this? *2025-08-22, version 1.4.1* The worst app ever. No direction at all on how to navigate the app. Poorly designed. Doesn’t deserve even one star. ### 1/5 — Lack of Accessibility for deafblind, Low Vision and Visual impaired *2024-08-28, version 1.4.1* I was disappointed to find that the I-Angel Sound app for iPhone and iPad does not offer Dark Contrast or adjustable text size, which are vital accessibility features for users with Low Vision and Visual Impaired. To address this, I-Angel Sound should prioritize adding accessibility options to their app and website. I do t like bright white background and blue text is difficult to read. ### 1/5 — Repeat until it plays sound *2024-04-16, version 1.4.1* You have to repeat/hit refresh until the app plays sound. I used this app with my audiologist at initial stimulation, and I could not hear a thing, she told me that I would eventually hear it, but it was clearly a bug with the app. I am a re-implant, so I knew what to be expecting, and had previously used this app. There are times I have to hit refresh 10 times before I actually hear something in my implanted ear. 1 star. ### 1/5 — Discrimination against disabled *2023-05-23, version 1.4.1* No ability to enlarge the fonts on the app for people with low vision. It’s as if the developer has no clue about the population that would be users of this app. So sick of companies who claim to develop things for disabled and then fail to be 508 compliant. ### 1/5 — Bluetooth drops out *2023-04-11, version 1.4.1* The biggest problem I find is the Bluetooth connection drops out between each sound. It makes the app unworkable as by the the time the Bluetooth has reconnected the next sound has played so you don’t get to hear it I downloaded Hearoes instead and that works perfectly ### 1/5 — Tilton *2023-03-25, version 1.4.1* Missing word in most of the training. Then when you try to repeat that word it is missed again so you're grading can become bad. Would love to use this program when tic are removed from it. ### 1/5 — Very buggy - nonfunctional *2020-08-01, version 1.4.1* Obviously this app is still nonfunctional as what was accurately critiqued in December 2019. iOS 13, iPhone 8 Plus. ### 1/5 — Terrible functionality *2019-12-05, version 1.4.1* I got this to help me train with my new CI. It seemed to work OK at first but now is super buggy. No audio. I’ve tried all their troubleshooting on the webpage, un-installing and re-installing the app, even calling the phone number on their website, which was a non-operational number. I’ve tried streaming the audio through Bluetooth speakers, through the iPhone itself, etc etc. The app only speaks a word aloud maybe an 1/8 if the time if you’re lucky. Dismal functionality and even worse customer support (non-existent). I’d give this zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Not very good *2019-05-14, version 1.4.1* It very American accent I can’t understand them with my cochlear implant. Not suitable for Ci who never heard of accents. Would be good without accents. The replay button is far too small not great either!!! ### 1/5 — I need game!!!!! *2017-10-08, version 1.3.1* When update ios11???? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect 🌟 *2026-01-02, version 1.4.1* Although this app seems outdated the content certainly is not. It is free and genuinely helps, I’m learning to decipher between similar constants and I can choose to turn on a noisy background which makes it more authentic ### 5/5 — Good starter app *2025-12-30, version 1.4.1* Free, easy way to get into CI rehab and training. It’s pretty simple but is great for the first month or two of rehab. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2019-01-23, version 1.3.3* Love this app! This audiologist recommend me to use this when my CI activated and I have been use this since! I was hoping if I can find more apps to use that’s similar this one! ### 5/5 — Updates to iOS 11 *2017-10-06, version 1.3.1* Would be great if the app can be updated to work with the latest iOS. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2017-07-08, version 1.3.1* I am deaf in my right ear (profoundly deaf) and this app has helped me A LOT. I have used this everyday and it has helped my brain work out sounds. This app is AMAZING to use and can be used as a 15 minute training exercise at home. ### 4/5 — Nice idea but this is useless right now. *2025-04-27, version 1.4.1* Very Buggy. Constant refresh needed and sometimes only the end of a word gets repeated after multiple refreshes. VERY FRUSTRATING. Grading is wonky. ### 4/5 — So helpful - thank you!! *2016-01-29, version 1.3.1* I've been using this app since my CI was activated a few days ago. It's fun - even addictive - although I have to be careful because I can wear myself out. I know when that is happening when my score goes down rather than up. I can see progress each day. 4 stars only because I am finding the choices of "Initial consonants", "Medial vowels", Finial consonants" relatively meaningless. When I think I am working on initial consonants and I am given a choice between "Lot" and "Led", it confuses me, but it's also good practice - a relatively minor quibble. It also seems to default to "random difficulty' or whatever the term is, after I think I am choosing 'easy' or 'hard'. But, again, minor quibbles. The alternative is to depend on someone repeating words behind a screen. This is so much better. Again, thank you. This is a real service for people who want to hear and understand again. ### 3/5 — Good app, but… *2024-03-27, version 1.4.1* I believe the content of this app can be of great value to a cochlear implant recipient doing rehab, but it seems to disconnect the audio between each exercise. To overcome this problem, I repeat the audio clip until it plays. This should not be necessary. ### 3/5 — Ok until… *2022-11-26, version 1.4.1* I am a recent CI recipient and came across this app at the suggestion from a friend while doing my training. It worked great until it froze. I can’t get it off the page. I guess I’ll try clearing and then redownloading it to see if I can get it started again. SO disappointed!! ### 3/5 — Too small since update *2019-01-28, version 1.4.1* Since the recent update, the app is too small for my vision. The app doesn’t fill the whole screen anymore. iPhone X. Fix this bug please. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
