** I Hear Ewe ranked second place as Best Kid Distraction App for 2011! (Best App Ever Awards)

### 1/5 — No sound!

*2024-10-14, version 1.7.7*

No sound for app

### 5/5 — Works great

*2021-08-23*

Please check "auto rotate lock"  in your ipad.

### 3/5 — Got sound to work!

*2021-03-26*

If you have the phone on silent, the sound doesn’t work. Flip the switch on the side of the phone and sound works again in the app. This doesn’t affect other apps, so it’s obviously a glitch, but a fixable one.

### 5/5 — I’ve loved this app for 11 years! Simple and great!

*2020-10-06*

I downloaded “I Hear Ewe” back in 2009 for my baby niece who was then just a year old. :) I was so excited about being about her being able to press a screen and hear a meow or woof. I’ve shown this app to dozens of my nieces and nephews, friends’ kids, and my own kids, and it’s never failed to delight the child. I’ve even used it to entertain crying kids on plane journeys!  I love this lovely and simple app.

### 5/5 — Turn your ringer on!

*2020-04-01*

Make sure your ringer is turned on for the volume in the app to work! It’s weird... but it doesn’t play sound unless your phone ringer is on!!!

### 1/5 — No sound

*2020-03-26*

I don’t know why there is no sound. Really frustrating.

### 1/5 — No sound. No fix.

*2020-03-01*

My two year old loves this app but the sound almost never works. Sooo frustrating. Deleting and reinstalling does not fix it.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2020-02-01*

I don’t hear ewe

### 5/5 — My kids love it!

*2019-12-14*

All four of our kids have used and loved this app over the past 7 or so years!

### 1/5 — No sound any longer makes this useless now

*2019-05-11*

I use to use this app and it work d great, but recently there is no sound and without the sound working it’s useless- the whole point of it is to listen and hear sounds.
