### 1/5 — Could be ok but

*2020-08-02, version 2.3.5*

It is hard to dial the pest to target . Phone switches off and start again. Pity - it may work but unusable. I wasted my time ! Save yours

### 1/5 — Scam app - block from the store!

*2018-09-04, version 2.3.5*

This app tricked me into charges on my phone account. Do not use it!  

Apple - please remove it!!!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-08-26, version 2.3.5*

Doesn’t work. Switched on and correctly set up with maximum volume wasps actually flew TOWARDS my phone. Completely pointless. Don’t even bother.

### 1/5 — Total Scam! Does Nothing but open ads in Safari

*2017-08-27*

It shows a big button, tells you to press it and then it opens ads in Safari.  That's it!  I can't believe Apple let this on the App Store even for "free".  On top of that it supposedly wants you to buy an in in-app purchase but why would you when it is literally nothing but a horrid Safari ad launcher.

### 4/5 — PestRepeler

*2017-01-09*

So far a good app, but will have to wait for different weather conditions to give the app the final judgement

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2016-09-24, version 2.3.4*

This app should be removed from the App Store

### 1/5 — Worthless scrap

*2016-09-17, version 2.3.4*

DO NOT install this app. This is merely a trap for endless ads. Totally worthless, Apple should be ashamed of allowing this garbage on the AppStore.

### 1/5 — Apple is not doing its job

*2016-08-17, version 2.3.4*

I wonder why Apple allowed this stupid crapy app on its store.

### 1/5 — BS!

*2016-07-04*

I had the app on and a spider walked across the ipad! Repeller my butt!

### 1/5 — FAKE

*2016-05-03, version 2.3.4*

Does not work
