## What is Pocket Sitcom?

You will never have the chance to pull a fast one on Mr. Belding. Sheldon doesn’t care about your theoretical theorems of quantum physics. You’ll never look cool doing the Urkel. There won’t be a Festivus for the rest of us. Clarissa will never explain it all, an estranged cousin from Mepos will never knock on your door and no one wants to meet you at Central Perk for coffee. Face it – no matter how hard you try, no matter how many reruns you watch, your TV sitcom fantasies will never come true. Except for one.

Pocket Sitcom provides the soundtrack for the sitcom of your life. Choose the right chuckle for your well-placed pun, the fitting cheer for your neighborly entrance, or flex those muscles to the loud swoon you always deserved. Whatever the occasion, Pocket Sitcom is designed to add the perfect touch of cheese to your modern life and bring a dash of must-see TV to every day of the week. 

FEATURES:
- Three screens and over 30 original, high-quality sound effects to choose from.
- Laughter. Applause. Woots and wah-wahs. Gasps and guffaws. Theme music, punches, quick hits, bumpers and more!
- Don’t like commercials? A simple in-app purchase removes all banners from the app. Just like a DVR, but better.
- Subscribe to push notifications to be the first to know about new sounds as well as new apps in the POCKET SITCOM series.

All you need now is an oversized cell phone. So c’mon preppy, life is short – give it the soundtrack it deserves.

(Crickets? Really? Fine. That joke played better at the table read.)

### 5/5 — Curs Out Early

*2026-06-25, version 3.0.1*

App crashed before finished laughing.

### 1/5 — Works for 1 second

*2026-06-02, version 3.0.1*

Terrible works for 1-2 seconds then crashes after playing something if you want people to download this maybe actually play sounds for longer than 2 seconds wasted my time downloading this

### 2/5 — Unusable!

*2026-02-28, version 3.0.1*

I purchased the ad free version hoping it would be less buggy, but it crashes as soon as any effect is played (and when you select the 'details' page). Hopefully they'll fix it.

It could be great, and very unique (haven't found anything else like it). 

The layout is simple and easy to use, and it has every sound that you'd need. 

Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2026-01-12, version 3.0.1*

crashes ten seconds after startup, completely broken now.

### 1/5 — Crashes instantly

*2026-01-09, version 3.0.1*

Every time you click a sound it crashes after like 5 seconds, the app used to work perfectly but it hasn’t for a few months now. Dont know what happened

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-11-27, version 3.0.1*

The app just crashes shortly after opening. They took my money but still crashes every 2 seconds. I just want it to work

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-10-31, version 3.0.1*

Is there a way to fix this so it doesn’t crash anymore. It’s a fun app!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work Anymore, Move Along

*2025-09-04, version 3.0.1*

I used to love this app, but within the last few years, it no longer works. It’ll open for 3-5 seconds and then immediately crash. If you’re REALLY quick, you can play something on the first screen, but otherwise it’s impossible to use.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-07-17, version 3.0.1*

Keeps crashing on me

### 1/5 — Crashes on open

*2025-05-14, version 3.0.1*

Used to love this app, but for quite some time it has crashed within a few seconds of opening.

Would likely still work on older iOS devices, but if you have a modern device it won’t work.
