Predatory Application *2026-06-27* WARNING - the whole application is optimized for older folks with the trade off being HAVING to quickly pay to use it. Fonts are big to be helpful but are handing users to enroll in their subscription. Users who don’t know app purchase workflow or even if you can find the ‘x’ button to skip sale are limited by TOTAL listen TIME; being halted by a paywall. ### 3/5 — I Paid $59.99 but App Keeps Asking for Payment *2026-06-02, version 1.20* I do like the app, but …. I paid $59.99 for the app after accidentally allowing the 3 day trial to expire. Every time I open the app, it demands payment and I to click on “Already Purchased “ in the bottom right corner. This is so annoying and I paid $59.99 for an annoying app that barely warrants a $10 Annual Subscription. How do I stop the payment demand from popping up? I just want to open the app without this aggravation. Aside from this stupidity, the app does help with conversations though “voice isolation” if the other person holds my phone and I am far away from the phone to prevent an awful echo. Right now, I am testing Walker earmuffs covering my earbuds in an attempt to only hear people through the app. I need a viable way to block ambient noise even when the voice isolation function is activated. Can the app receive sound through an external remote microphone that’s connected to my phone through Bluetooth? That might be a helpful workaround. Needless to say, the paid 3-day trial is not enough time to figure how to make adaptations and to determine whether this is worth the subscription fee. Clearly, I do like the app’s amplification to jump through hoops to make it work for me. So, the app is OK but it’s somewhat annoying and very expensive. ### 3/5 — Very Good Amplification! *2025-09-05, version 1.20* But is this app for FREE or $5 based on my Disability Rights? Checked and it’s NO. ### 1/5 — Vor the trash *2025-06-14* Vor the trash ### 2/5 — locked behind a paywall *2025-05-10* lets you hear for a minute and forces you to do a 3 day trial or a pay wall for such a simple app concept. ### 1/5 — Not conecting to my hearing aids *2025-04-29, version 1.20* Trash ### 1/5 — Tem que pagar para ouvir *2025-04-05* 🤡 ### 1/5 — Nasty *2025-03-28* This App only lets you preview it if you sign up for a year subscription. My 90-year-old mum, needed to test whether amplification from a hearing aid would be effective. So she tested on a trial run of this App, forget to cancel it the same day, and now she has paid £60 for a year for an App she will never use. There is no justification for not enabling a trial run on a monthly subscription. The App just sets out to trap people like this. We would be happy to pay £9.99 for her mistake but not £60. It's just nasty commercialism. ### 1/5 — :( *2025-02-26, version 1.20* 60 dollars for an app I can’t afford and at 40 don’t need. It didn’t show in subscriptions when I tried to cancel then I still got charged. Very sad. ### 1/5 — Another subscription scam *2025-01-19, version 1.20* Yeah, no thanks. All subscription apps are scams. I don’t mind paying a set onetime price; but, this subscription stuff ain’t happening. Would have appreciated knowing BEFORE I downloaded the app. ### 2/5 — Garbage *2024-12-17, version 1.20* Garbage app ### 1/5 — It’s not free as advertised. *2024-11-22, version 1.20* This app is completely useless. ### 1/5 — Not Very Good *2024-11-19, version 1.20* This app is no good unless you have a high powered microphone ### 4/5 — Worked well *2024-07-02, version 1.18* Ability to adjust EQ levels is great. ### 1/5 — Does not amplify sound and.. *2024-06-27* In order to use it you must subscribe to one of their memberships. Good luck canceling it if you want to. In order to cancel they ask you to give them your name and email. The process of canceling takes way too much time **Developer response:** Hi Andijo35, we are happy to help you cancel. If you don't want to email us, you can ask Apple for help in cancelling. Otherwise, I'm happy to help if anyone emails me at support@mightyfine.app. ### 1/5 — Fraudulent charge no refund *2024-06-09* I was informed by my bank for a charge from this app for a yearly subscription which I had not purchased any subscriptions from anyone in the past three years and when I called this sound amplifier and Apple support they told me I could not get any money back because I gave them the ok. False. First of all what company talks like that and uses that kind of lingo in a business setting? Anyways I have an investigation still pending against this. **Developer response:** Hi Wood79797979, I'm happy to help you get a refund! Just email me at support@mightyfine.app. I'm sorry Apple was not helpful in this. We are a 3 person team without funding and we have to use Apple's platform, but it does not mean we are the same as them! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-06-22, version 1.20* TOTAL SCAM. DOES NOT WORK. FILED WITH FTC. COMPROMISES PHINE AND PASSWORDS. STAY AWAY. PAYING CUSTOMER. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE. REQUESTED REFUND. NO RESPONSE. BEWARE. TERRIBLE FRAUDULENT BUSINESS. ### 1/5 — A Little Clarity is all a Girl Needs! *2026-05-26, version 1.20* When times are tight and you need to be able to hear, its apps like this that’ll remind you just how bad things are! How about you dont let us use your damn app at all! You app gave me my hearing back for a couple of minutes then you ripped it away!!! Yes it sounded good! Yes it had all the options! But nope! I dont have the money for the subscription so thank you for another reality check! Being a DV survivor trying to get her life back in order, the sudden exit out of what finally seemed to be a moment of “omg i can hear surroundings again” really made me feel sone type of way! Hey why dont you inform us that its just a sample! The best part is that it doesn’t even say “in app purchases”!!!! ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2026-05-16, version 1.20* It doesn’t amplify anything. Even volume at 100%, there is no difference. ### 1/5 — Not actually free *2026-03-10, version 1.20* I was told that this app was free and it turns out to be a complete and utter lie ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-12-28, version 1.20* Do not fall for this trap! ### 1/5 — Subscription for this trash? *2025-10-29* It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever to try and charge a monthly fee for an app a beta version of ChatGPT could make in 20 seconds!!!! This entire app should be a software function for free!!!! Apple and this rent-seeking based leech economy is all we have left. Software development is officially dead. ### 1/5 — Sound Amplifier *2025-09-16, version 1.20* I downloaded this app never used it and canceled the subscription they’re still charged me $59.99 I couldn’t tell you if the office is good or not and never even use it. These people are ridiculous. ### 1/5 — 2 seconds *2025-08-23, version 1.20* Horrible trial ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-08-07* Ive asked support for help so if they can get their app working then my review might change, but right now all I hear is tinny weak voices. I hear much better when the app is off. Worse, I decided a couple days ago that I didn’t wish to pay for this app and cancelled the trial, then today I see a charge for a year of service. What a scam. ### 1/5 — Trash this app is trash *2025-06-16, version 1.20* Complete rip off ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2025-05-17* Excellent app ### 5/5 — very clear sound *2024-11-02, version 1.20* i have downloaded and tried over 60 sound /hearing apps and this is by far the best one yet and without any problems at all !! ### 5/5 — Good purchase *2024-06-08* Good purchase but was hoping for a couple extra features but I’m very confident future updates will be worth the money for the annual subscription- annual subscription buyer. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-05-31, version 1.17* Works just like you’d imagine it to. 😊 ### 5/5 — I can hear again using this app! *2024-05-26* I am recently diagnosed as deaf. I was offered a BAHA a bone anchored hearing aid. This involves an operation on my skull. Nothing else was available other than Live Captions on my IPhone. My son Stephen is an Educational Technologist. I bought Shokz openrun pro bone conduction headphones. Stephen paired them with this app. I can now hear through bone conduction! This app has saved me from invasive surgery on my skull, and has allowed me to hear properly for the first time in many years. The sound quality is equal to, if not better than hearing aids that I can no longer use. I’ve spent thousands of pounds on hearing aids in the past. I showed it to my Ear Nose Throat ENT consultant. He tried it and said it’s a game changer for deaf people. It also is normal equipment a mobile phone and bone conduction headphones anyone can wear. It’s vastly cheaper than an operation and BAHA. Stephen has put guidance on X (search @SteTaylorGFA) and we have had a lot of likes and queries. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-04-28, version 1.17* Works perfectly ### 5/5 — Worked great *2024-04-17* I had unexpected hearing loss in both ears. This ap enabled me to hear people speak & hear sounds. Worked great at many different situations, work, restaurants, social gatherings, shopping… ### 5/5 — Hhh *2024-02-10, version 1.16* Vcdrujjhhvf ### 5/5 — Saved me from expensive hearing aids *2023-12-07* I can hear so much better with this app! Especially when my baby wakes up from her nap! ### 5/5 — Saved me from expensive hearing aids *2023-07-26* I can hear so much better with this app!
