### 2/5 — Great results however unaffordable

*2026-04-07*

Have used this app previously as a parent after seeing how it worked at a childcare centre and it was amazing to detect hearing loss for my oldest son. However the pricing is now unaffordable for parents and it was great when it was a free diagnosis tools provided by Hearing Australia.

### 2/5 — You have to pay to use it

*2025-12-29*

Per test aswell so not reccomended for a large group of people

### 1/5 — Not Free!!

*2025-11-03, version 14.3.0*

They say this test is free but that isn’t true. You will not get to tails until making a purchase of “credits”

### 5/5 — Easy and straightforward

*2024-08-24*

A great app for kids to use. It even picked up that my son could have attention issues which is true.

### 3/5 — Good hearing test but…

*2024-04-20*

The app charged a credit card card without giving me the opportunity to choose credit card or check amount. The payment process needs to be much more secure. But it was a good test overall.

### 1/5 — Not clear info

*2024-03-23, version 13.1.0*

They dont tell you that you have to pay for the tests. They should tell you BEFORE you download the app

### 1/5 — Didn’t get anything

*2023-12-16*

I paid for coupons and didn’t get anything.

### 1/5 — Cant pass the initial supervisor test

*2023-11-23, version 13.0.14*

Tried airpods pro, headphones, just the phones speaker but cannot pass it. My wife also tried and failed. Total waste of money.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2023-11-18*

Soundscouts diagnosed my eldest sons hearing loss a few years ago. We used it again today for my youngest - great to have reassurance.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2023-10-19*

This app is so easy to use and very helpful! I wish it had of been around when I had my eldest’s hearing testing, would have saved me a ton of money! Definitely worth the cost.
