Can use with voiceover OK but could be better. ### 1/5 — Does nothing *2024-12-03, version 2.0* The app does nothing, don’t waste your time. The original recoding through phone mic remains as is and no change with any of the options shown. Looks like the developer did not even finish this app! ### 1/5 — Need more then 5 min *2024-02-21* How can I tell what this app is capable of ….by the time I get the squealing to stop times up 😝 ### 1/5 — Plobrema com o app ao remover limites de uso *2022-10-09, version 1.6* Paguei a para remover o tempo de 5 minutos para usar sem limites e não retiraō o limite de tempo do Apple fiquei decepcionado por que eu usaria o Apple para trabalho tenho o comprovante de pagamento mais naō tive sorte ### 2/5 — Uma pena *2021-11-03, version 1.6* Deu pra usar por 5 minutos (tempo suficiente pra testar os recursos), mas logo depois pediu que eu comprasse um negócio que removia o limite de tempo de uso (ou seja, não dá pra usar o app por mais de 5 minutos gratuitamente). Bem decepcionante. 2 Estrelas porque as funções são legais. ### 5/5 — Öneri *2021-05-11, version 1.5* Basic olmasına rağmen gayet kullanışlı ve pratik. Telefonda arka planda da aktif olsa daha bir kullanışlı olacak. EQ daha ayrıntılı olabilir. Ses kaydını waw dosyası olarak kaydetse daha bir şık olur. ### 5/5 — Hearing amplifier *2020-10-29* Excellent app. ### 5/5 — PleSe *2020-09-21* Can y’all please add a off App mode so can you use it on different apps like if I wanna do a beat ### 5/5 — Rezalet *2020-08-22, version 1.5* Parasını verip satın aldığım uygulama şimdi tekrar satın almaya yönlendiriyor beni bu nasıl bir saçmalıktır ya🤔😤 ## Frequently asked questions about PhoneAmp ### What does PhoneAmp do?
