## What is Mosquito away?

This practical software has only one purpose: keep away mosquitoes. When activated it causes your iPhone or iPod Touch to send out a frequency capable of keeping away gravid female mosquitoes (that is those biting). Ideal for outdoor use, during a dinner or an evening walk, also usable at home. This frequency can be heard by both human ears and pet ears, so that we suggest to set volume at an indispensable minimum level, particularly whether you are in a close place. Obviously it must not be listen to directly on the earphones.

==Warning== There are over 2,000 species of mosquitoes worldwide, our tests of "Mosquito away" are limited to some areas of Italy, so we can't guarantee that the principle of the App will be effective on all species of mosquitoes in all areas of the world.

### 5/5 — 👍🏼

*2024-11-19, version 5.1*

Increase the volume to the highest when the fly comes near you move the phone closer to it and it will get out of the office.

### 5/5 — I safe my colleagues live from that bth 😎👊🏼

### 4/5 — Actually seems to work

*2019-07-18, version 5.1*

Don't expect perfection but I did notice a real reduction in mosquitos "dive bombing" me. Does NOT seem to work perfectly all the time but a lot of the critters seem to go elsewhere when the app is on. Thanks

### 1/5 — Swat them with the iPad?

*2018-05-15, version 5.1*

One landed on my ankle as it was being pointed at with the speaker. Was on me long enough to draw a lot of blood. 

Is this app supposed to bring them in closer so we can swat them?? If so, seems to work pretty good! Maybe I was mistaken with how it works.

### 1/5 — No good

*2016-08-26, version 5.0*

Had them sitting on my arm and they didn't move.

### 2/5 — Mosquito away

*2015-10-30, version 5.0*

Just got 14 mosquito bites while using this useless app
Paid for the updated version. Don't waste your money!!!

### 1/5 — Not in Central Florida

*2015-10-07, version 5.0*

Does not work at my house in central Florida... Seems to have attracted the skeeters... Had one land right on my phone while I had the app turned on.

### 1/5 — Load of crap

*2015-09-09, version 5.0*

What a rubbish app. Didn't get far enough to figure out if it even works keeping Mosquitos away because every button in the app activates the prompt to upgrade to the paid app. Too bad I'll never know if it even does what it is intended to.

### 5/5 — Works Well!

*2015-09-08, version 5.0*

Green light if your skeptical.

### 1/5 — Did not work for me

*2015-08-05, version 5.0*

I turned on the app and put volume all the way up. The mosquito did not leave and in fact landed on me.
