In that case, Im facing a lot of with issues syncing the audios with the playshield, headphones bluetooth mode turns off when a the playshield is attached on, so you can't trigger or manage the process. The shield only records the first audio from the playlist and I tried many ways to te solve this.. ### 1/5 — Pure GARBAGE… *2026-03-18, version 2.3.4* I hope you didn’t buy the headphones first like I did. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-24, version 2.3.4* App will not allow you to log on ### 1/5 — Can’t set up *2025-12-27, version 2.3.3* Downloaded and connected via Bluetooth to my child’s device. App will not open ### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE *2025-10-07, version 2.3.1* This is a piece of junk. Super hard to set up. Spent over 30 mins trying to set it up. Doesn’t work. Scam scam scam. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2025-09-21, version 2.3.1* My daughter got so excited about this product as she has a tonie box. After multiple attempts at making an account - now it’s saying there’s an error. Will be returning this!! $100 wasted ### 1/5 — Can’t even login/signup *2025-09-21, version 2.3.1* This has to be the worst app and product. I tried mobile the native app and the website too. The sign in with Google doesn’t work. Manual sign up doesn’t work. I even tried the “forgot password” way, even that does work and says “The password reset link expired OR the password you have entered doesn't satisfy the validation rules mentioned below”. I tried all these options multiple times before giving up and putting this rating. How are people even using this product? ### 1/5 — Can’t even create account *2025-07-06, version 2.2.6* Can’t even create an account so I can’t even set up the headphones…..there’s a bunch of money wasted. So disappointing ### 1/5 — Network Error *2025-06-21, version 2.2.6* I got three of these headsets today for my child and two for my nephews and the app isn’t working. I’m sure I have internet cuz other apps and programs works except this. Returning all three. ## Frequently asked questions about StoryPhones by ONANOFF ### What is StoryPhones?
