User reviews

False advertising

Paid $1 in app to hear sounds. Didn’t work. Just looking at the symbols with no sounds is not helpful at all.

I was ripped off

I wasted 99¢ on this app. They said that I needed to purchase the application in order to hear the sounds. I did and It doesn’t play the sounds.

Doesn't work

I bought the in-app purchase, and the sounds don't work at all. Don't download.

0.99 for nothing

This app doesn't work at all! My money back!

Worthless

Crappy, not worth downloading. Only one sound is free and everything else is an in app purchase. Useless.
