There is no sound emitted from your device, if so the volume would work, instead it still controls the Ringer. ### 1/5 — speaker destroyer *2015-01-31* i downloaded this app and it destroyed my speaker on my ipod. ### 1/5 — Total Rip-Off *2014-08-19, version 2.3.3* Bought it to repel wasps and it did not work whatsoever. Used the tried and true method of 2L pop bottle contraption and that worked. Waste of money, never get the enhanced features. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2014-07-11* App doesn't work, not emitting any sounds. Very discouraged after buying in app upgrade! ### 1/5 — Horrible ad loop *2014-04-13* This is really bad, can't even use the app because of the horrible loop in ads... Huge disappointment; surprised apple allows on the App Store. ### 1/5 — The worst *2014-04-09* Tried for 10 min to use it but I couldn't even try it out because it was just a constant stream of pop-up ads. I kept x'ing the ads but they never ended so I was not able to try the app. ### 1/5 — Oohhh 😡 *2013-08-03* Don't work. Mosquito landed on my iPhone while it was on! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2013-07-16, version 2.3* This app doesn't work at all. It might be my bad hearing but it doesn't even seem to release a noise (which I guess is understandable from the fact that it's a high frequency) but furthermore there are numerous studies that show that this doesn't work at all!! Terrible scam ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Spam! *2016-01-13* Couldn't even get to using it without all sorts of spam about other apps/games. Recommend to avoid. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Surprisingly fantastic *2013-12-03* Bought this app after being mauled by mozzies in my hotel bedroom in Bali. Didn't expect it to work but it really does!! Had it on the last 3 nights and not a single nibble! Only downside is you can't use your phone while the app is active. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-10-18* Totally works! ### 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 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
