I got introduced to this app by a friend of mine and got addicted straight away! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-11-29* I finally got around to downloading the sound scouts app and testing my son's hearing. Don't know why I put it off for so long. The game was easy to play and he had fun playing it. I found out he was having trouble hearing in a noisy environment so might explain him playing up in class. LOL! Would definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Mrs *2016-01-21* Thank you Sound Scouts for your interactive and engaging game. My mother's intuition was confirmed, my nearly 5 year old daughter did have a hearing loss. With grommets she can now hear clearly, just in time for Kindergarten. My daughter loved playing Sound Scouts! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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” ### 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. ### 1/5 — Feedback *2022-01-24* I can’t get out of this app How do you close it? There are no directions about how to exit the app. It’s SO annoying. **Developer response:** On iOS, any app is exited with the home button, or fully closed by swiping it up from the app switcher (swiping from the bottom edge). This is the platform's standard. We hope this information helps. ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent tool *2023-07-03* I was recommended this by my hearing centre before booking in. Now I have assessed my child, I have results I can track and I’m more comfortable with knowing how she can hear. ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-05-31* The app is very easy to use, and the children have no trouble following the instructions. This app was recommended to me by a speech language pathologist for teachers to use if they suspect a hearing loss. While it is not a fully comprehensive assessment of hearing, it is a great first step to determine if hearing loss could be a cause of delayed development in literacy skills. ### 5/5 — Child’s hearing check *2023-03-13* Great app for kids. To be able to test ears in a comfortable space. ### 5/5 — 1 *2022-11-20* Nice game ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2022-10-29* Thanks for making such an incredible app that’s free and easy to use for my 5 year old! ### 5/5 — Convenient testing for school age kids and free *2021-08-08* I Love this app as my child’s teacher asked me to get a hearing test done as he tends to do his work in class better in group lessons rather than individually. Fast effective results and easy to do at home very happy with this app very helpful. ### 5/5 — Review of hearing test on iphone and earpods *2021-07-07* Great simple easy for doing a hearing test --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
