This has a great variety of sounds and I am planning to use it tonight by the front door and when we go trick or treating! ### 1/5 — Fail *2012-10-31, version 1.42* The only thing scary is how bad this app is. And there are spelling errors ### 4/5 — Cool *2012-10-28, version 1.42* Awesome! Perfect for Halloween! ### 1/5 — Dumbest app *2012-10-24, version 1.42* This is seriously the dumbest app! Don't waste your time ### 3/5 — Cute but you get what you pay for *2012-10-23, version 1.42* All these sounds are easy to find, free, online. It's a cute little app but after the kids and I listened to each sound once (and the zombie twice, because it sounded like an elephant and made us smile), we uninstalled. But I think it's a great idea for an app and it's worth a listen! ### 5/5 — Pretty Neat *2012-10-18, version 1.42* I like this. For those who can't hear anything, turn your phone switch to on. If its on vibrate, it doesn't work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2016-10-31, version 1.42* I tried selecting several of the sounds and hit play and none of them worked. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-06-27, version 1.42* Doesn't work ### 1/5 — Do not get this app *2016-03-09, version 1.42* This app has horrible quality Most of the sounds are not what they say they are And most of the noises are repeats this app really disappointed me ### 1/5 — BORING *2014-12-14, version 1.42* If i were u i wouldnt recommend getting this game its just ads and no scary sounds trust me its wasting your life i even deleted it ### 1/5 — App made by a 12 year old *2014-08-26, version 1.42* And has intrusive popup ads.
