### 1/5 — Useless app!!!

*2017-06-20*

Doesn't even work at all when I was asked to shake the phone.

### 1/5 — pointless

*2011-04-25*

This app is VERY cheesy. would not scare anything away except for buyers, good thing it was free.  Uninstalled in <7 sec.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2010-09-04*

I hike all the time through California. Mammoth. Yosemite... Etc..  This app is horrible.  What was I even thinking..? Don't waste your dollar..!   I'd rather leave a dollar on a trail for someone else to find..  

Lame

### 1/5 — Totally dumb...

*2010-01-21*

I cannot believe this was mentioned in my backpacker magazine email...

### 4/5 — Colbert

*2010-02-01*

Absolutely pointless for me but I downloaded it simply because it was on the colbert report.

### 4/5 — Make this work for 1 gen puhlease

*2010-01-28*

Please make this work for the 1 gen itouch as us ghetto dwellers need to scare away the bill collectors!

### 5/5 — Here because of Jared Padalecki

*2016-12-05*

Because in a Moose vs.Bear scenario, Bear wins. Increase your odds of survival. Get Scare Bear!

### 5/5 — Handy app for hiking

*2010-01-05*

I used to carry bear bells I got at REI.  This is a handy replacement.  Haven't had to use it in a real situation yet but it sounds just like the real thing.

### 5/5 — Cool Application

*2009-12-29*

I use it hiking here in SoCal...mountain lion country...
