Seriously you can wither turn off the tone that happens every time you charge your device or you can’t! You should not need access to bluetooth or the microphone. ### 1/5 — Needs the app screen on to work *2022-05-09* Useless when wanting to use a clock app Unreliable when using wireless charger ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as described *2022-03-17* Requires the microphone to be on and recording, large privacy concern. Also only works when it’s on the screen, not minimized. Waste of a download ### 5/5 — Works but confusing *2022-01-31, version 1.1* Great idea badly implemented. It stops the charging sound as advertised but confuses use user with “mute microphone” messages with no explanation as to what you need to do. ### 1/5 — Only works when it has focus *2021-07-04* Only stops the annoying dings when app has focus. If I switch to another app, leaving it running in the background, it stops working. It’s already possible to do something like that using the native camera app, no recording required. I need something that can silence that annoying noise while I’m actually using my device. If I didn’t need to use it I could just turn it off or put it in another room. Really, this is Apple’s fault primarily, but this isn’t a solution. ### 5/5 — It works *2021-06-14, version 1.1* I dont understand the negative feedback, it does what it says. ### 1/5 — Didn't work at all. *2021-02-18* This app didn't work at all, plugged in power came and it still buzzed. ### 1/5 — Total Joke *2020-10-03* Don’t waste your time with this. It wants access to Bluetooth and the Microphone for some unknown reason. Then, it has to be running and displaying ads for it to work. Why Apple doesn’t give us the ability to disable this through the iOS is absolutely ridiculous. I am one beep or buzz away from an Android. I’m so sick Apple’s BS ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-05-28, version 1.1* What a waste of time it doesn’t do anything. Apple, remove this junk ### 1/5 — Waste of time. *2020-05-01* If i could i would give it zero stars. The whole point of this app is to silence the charging sound and it only does that if you’re in the app. What’s the point? ## Frequently asked questions about Silent Plug ### What does Silent Plug do?
