But overall it is a great app and I do recommend you getting it. ### 4/5 — Awesome App *2020-09-05, version 4.4.2* I also have this app on my Windows PC. And have used it on android. Amazing out and does exactly what you would want to. Donely reason I did not give it five stars is that on iPad, this layout is not as nice or is unable to do landscape layout properly. Of course this would be user error but I do not think so. The layout on windows is perfect and I believe we should have the same layout on iPad with large buttons that have the way signal above the noise. ### 3/5 — Can’t record ☹️ *2019-12-30, version 4.4.2* I love the sounds I just wished I could record them ### 4/5 — Great app! *2018-11-20, version 4.4.2* I’d have paid for this app. It does exactly what I need it to do. Importing sounds is easy via iTunes, and everything works flawlessly. You can get rid of ads forever for 99 cents. It’s worth It. ### 2/5 — Great sounds, but... *2018-10-09, version 4.4.2* Sorting a favourites list doesn’t seem to work. The arrow to the right simply plays the FX and doesn’t bring up any options. Makes it unusable for my needs ### 3/5 — Nice Sounds Lacks Set Up Flexibility *2017-04-30, version 4.2* I work with special needs students and was very excited about having an app with fun sounds for them to have fun with for stories and music. The favorite board is okay for reqular folk but I was hoping that one could really create their own favorites and not have other preloaded choices that make choice making difficult for people with visual and motor challenges. I'd love to be able to load one sound and have one big area like the whole page populate with that one sound. Then, if a person could manipulate two sounds the page would divide into two areas with contrasting color or shades to help differentiate which is which especially if one doesn't read yet. ### 2/5 — In app game not welcome *2017-02-07, version 4.2* Downloaded this expecting a sound board. Not a bad sound board, but not happy with constant interruptions from an unwanted and unwelcome game embedded in app. Uninstalled soon after download. ### 2/5 — Yes they are sound effects..... But not very good ones. *2016-04-27, version 4.2* Cheesy sound effects, good only for a laugh ### 4/5 — 흠... *2016-04-02* 처음엔 흥미로웠는데... 시간이 지나니 영... 4점이 적당합니다 ### 4/5 — Great *2015-11-09, version 4.1.4* I was wanting to give this app 4.5 stars, but the ads held me back. Great job on the sounds, and the overlapping sounds, but if you want 5 stars from me, keep the ads at the bottom of the screen. It is not a good impression when you can't even see the title screen. Overall, great job. I would love to see more of your apps. ### 2/5 — You get what you pay for, *2015-08-12, version 4.1.4* If you like frequent interruptions by ads for access to an exceptionally limited library of low-quality sound effects, then this may be the app for you! ### 3/5 — Few sounds... *2015-08-05, version 4.1.4* I got this app and I think the sounds well sound good but, the ppl who made this should and could add more sounds to give some variety to this application. Like some chatter or paws on hardwood some sounds to use like just for fun! It is awesome and all but it needs MORE SOUNDS!!! C'mon you ppl can do this!!! The more sounds the better. Ooh you should do the sound the tardis makes when it starts to disappear!! (Doctor Who reference) Anywho yeah!!! Get working on that!!!🐶😋😄😃😀😊☺😉😜😛😝 LOLZ!!! ### 2/5 — Advertisements *2015-06-25, version 4.1.4* I was trying to open the app for immediate use when I was told to wait while an advertisement loaded. Delete. Dumb move to not just have the ad on the bottom of the screen like normal apps. ### 4/5 — Fun *2015-06-02, version 4.1.4* It's fun to mess around and trick your friends with but it could have more sounds ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2021-01-01, version 4.4.2* Literally doesn’t make a sound ### 1/5 — Too many ads Fake sound effects and only 30 sounds *2020-01-10, version 4.4.2* The other sound effects app I dowloden had 100+ sound this app had 30 sounds were fake the insane laugh sounds like shaggy from Scooby-Doo screaming and the censor button is high pitch also when you push a button too much it goes crazy it keeps flashing and you can’t turn it off this app is also boring and should be discontinued, gone and token off the App Store so if you like fake and stupid effects this is the app for you ### 1/5 — Boohoo🤠😳👏👏🙏🏿💋💅🏿 *2019-09-08, version 4.4.2* Hey what’s up u guys my names rebekah but anyways enough about me. This app is sooo sucky🙄. I only downloaded it for the moooo sound and it got old really quick ㅠ벼배귶그모웊ㅅ나ㅏㅈㅍ슈무ㅏ몾ㄷㅍㅊㄱㅍㅂ모 ㅗㅑ If this had a zero star option I would do it HaVeAdIsNeYdAy ### 1/5 — NO FKN GOOD *2019-03-17, version 4.4.2* Don’t even try to download this app ### 1/5 — NOT ENOUGH SOUNDS!!! *2018-11-20, version 4.4.2* I wanted this app to see if there was a snap sound but there wasn’t any!! And all of the sounds sounded sooooo FAKE. Sorry if I made this ⬆️ sound to mean.😠😔 ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2018-11-20, version 4.4.2* Simply does not work. Waste of time downloading. Disappointed doesn't come close! ### 1/5 — Bad *2018-11-15, version 4.4.2* You can’t even download these sounds😡 ### 1/5 — Pop up advertisement made use impossible *2015-11-27, version 4.1.4* The app worked fine the first time I opened it but the second time I got s pop up ad that wouldn't close that made the app impossible to use. ### 1/5 — Zero Stars *2015-11-17, version 4.1.4* Ads take over the entire screen and I have to restart the app to do anything. Bogus!!! ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2015-10-05, version 4.1.4* This app is so horrible it only has ten sounds this app stinks like poo and that's true the sounds are Fart Kiss Lion Dinosaur ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow *2020-12-03, version 4.4.2* I love this! Whenever something happens I just take out my phone and start a sound effect! Also helps if you need a conversation starter in the middle of an awkward silence ### 5/5 — Food good sound *2018-10-24, version 4.4.2* I like food and this app has good sound ### 5/5 — Simple and straightforward *2018-06-29, version 4.2* Had exactly what I needed (game show sound effects), made the ones I liked most easily accessible by putting in a favorites list, and has enough variation that my students won’t get bored. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Woo woo woo *2017-03-28, version 4.2* Love this. Great fun. Wish Tomo would make a big O sound board. ### 5/5 — So cool! *2015-07-11, version 4.1.4* It's totally not what I expected. I expected some lame-o app, and I was SHOCKED when I downloaded it! It's soooo fun and sooo cool! Fun to play around with. I'm using it for a silly drama. Love it! ### 5/5 — THE BEST SOUND EFFECTS EVER!!! *2015-05-26, version 4.1.4* Love this game so much! I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good laugh! 😃 ### 5/5 — Nice *2015-05-19, version 4.1.4* It's okay ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-04-17, version 4.1.4* Being able to add your own sounds moves this app ahead of the pack. Although if the developer decides to add more, I won't mind at all. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-03-14, version 4.1.4* Awesome!!!! ### 5/5 — Best iPhone soundboard *2015-03-01, version 4.1.4* The ability to load your own effects into this app via iTunes by itself makes this app a strong contender in the admittedly niche category that is iPhone soundboard apps. The two things I would like to see is the ability to load SFXs from cloud services i.e. iCloud Drive and Dropbox, and additional SFX packs available as in-app purchases. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
