### 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.

### 3/5 — No sound anymore

*2018-06-15*

My almost 2 year old loves this app but the last several times the sound won’t work and I have to close it and then open it several times to get it back but tonight it just won’t work at all. ☹️

### 1/5 — Sound no longer works with iOS 9.3.5

*2016-09-28, version 1.7.4*

And yes contrary to jerk #1 rating this app, I do know how to use my iPad! This app is great , but it no longer works with this release. Sound works on all other apps.  Made sure app settings were checked for voice , loaded and and unloaded app. Still doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Awful customer service

*2016-09-16, version 1.7.4*

The sound did not work on the app so I emailed customer service. Instead of receiving a solution or refund I received an email of the creators blog. Stating how he gets bad reviews because users don't know how to use their iPhones and iPads. It's not his fault that we don't know how mute works. I'm sorry but I did not buy an app for my child to be insulted.

### 1/5 — So boring

*2016-01-07, version 1.7.4*

This app is supper boring. My son hates it.

### 4/5 — Good free app

*2015-10-03, version 1.7.4*

Been using this for years with lots of friends' kids.

### 1/5 — I cant hear anything

*2015-09-23, version 1.7.4*

The program is mute how can i activate its sound?

### 2/5 — What's an ambalance?

*2015-07-02, version 1.7.4*

Fix it.

### 5/5 — What is an am-ba-lance?

*2015-06-08, version 1.7.4*

Love this app, so does my son. The only thing that frustrates me and my husband is the pronunciation of "ambulance". Seriously hope they fix that one.

### 5/5 — Portuguese??

*2015-03-30, version 1.7.4*

My little one loves making the sounds of the animals and we love the language option and use mostly the English and Spanish options but would love to see translation for portuguese also. Thanks!

### 1/5 — No sound!

*2024-10-14, version 1.7.7*

No sound for app

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-08-26*

This app worked for like 5 minutes and now the description and animal noise doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — No sound only pictures?

*2018-08-22, version 1.7.7*

Not sure what this is meant to do?

### 1/5 — No sound!

*2018-06-03*

I downloaded the app and it worked as soon as I downloaded it - I was thrilled because it was exactly what I was looking for, animal sounds and vehicle sounds in one app! Yay! But sadly, I could not get it to work again. I tried turning the voice on and off, my volume was turned all the way up, and I even deleted it then downloaded again - nothing. So disappointed.

### 1/5 — No sound on this app

*2018-01-11*

I can’t get the sound to work on this app. To the person who thinks a ton of reviewers can’t use their iPads...yes we know how to use our iPads. It isn’t muted and the sound is all the way up and every other app is making sounds except this one. I don’t see any options anywhere to fix this problem. I deleted and redownloaded and still have the same issue.

### 1/5 — Update needed/no audio

*2017-08-24, version 1.7.4*

No audio with this app, which is the whole point (yes, volume is turned up).  Developer needs to update.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2021-08-23*

Please check "auto rotate lock"  in your ipad.

### 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!!!

### 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!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-09-25*

I am a teacher of the Visually Impaired and my totally blind student loves this app! Thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Accessibility

*2018-08-28*

I love this app! It is rare to find a preschool educational app that is fully accessible with VoiceOver. This app is fun for ALL children, including child who are visually impaired or blind. Thank you for creating such a fun, quality app!!!

From a very happy Teacher of the Visually Impaired

### 5/5 — Favorite toddler app

*2018-08-27*

Love this app.

### 5/5 — Pre-K

*2017-01-16, version 1.7.4*

Great app that the young crowd loves!  I loved the fact that the app creator has a blog where I found out more about my iPad.  I like many other uninformed adults didn't realize the top orientation button also mutes some sound effects but not sound from movies, videos etc.  The app works flawlessly!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome baby/toddler app

*2016-06-09, version 1.7.4*

My 1 year old has been delighted by this game ever since she could grab my phone. She can play for over half an hour if I let her and thrusts the phone at me to fix it if she accidentally quits. I would pay for extra features even though it is great as it is. I love that there is no hassling to unlock anything, and the way the voiceover guy says 'ambulance' cracks me up.

### 5/5 — Kids used to love it

*2016-01-11, version 1.7.4*

My kids usually love it, but as of recently there is no sound, completely mute.  Sad.
