### 3/5 — Good sounds but can’t use as alerts or ringtones

*2026-06-29*

Can play the sounds but can’t seem to add them as ringtones.  Guidance required.

### 2/5 — Suck

*2026-04-12*

So hard to down load I did not see what they said I will see to download

**Developer response:** Thank you! Did you see the in-app instructions? If it is hard to follow along in-app, there are videos of how to set ringtones/notification sounds with Garage Band on YouTube. If you need help, please write to trektheme@gmail.com

### 1/5 — What a waste

*2026-04-09*

Garageband refuses to save the file. IRL brick in mortar I’d take the time to stand in line for a four dollar refund.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Did you see the in-app instructions? If it is hard to follow along in-app, there are videos of how to set ringtones/notification sounds with Garage Band on YouTube. If you need help, please write to trektheme@gmail.com

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-03-27*

This is the app that I’ve been waiting for since I first started buying smartphones almost 13 years

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-03-02*

You are supposed to download a second app which doesn’t make sense. Then when you do, it’s not working. When you attempt to email for support, that link is not working. Please refund me.

**Developer response:** I included a tutorial, but you can find tutorials on YouTube that will guide you in a better visual way that you can follow along with. After you get the steps down, you'll find it quite easy. Unfortunately Apple's 'Garage Band' is the ONLY way to set the notification sounds on your device without connecting to your computer with iTunes.

### 1/5 — Failure to complete

*2026-02-28*

Selected tone, listened to be sure, create ringtone. Garage band icon appears. Clicked. Opens to a page that does not offer the icon to long hold, it opens the DAW and no option to rename or manipulate. A box opens and is instantly covered by another dialogue box saying the operation cannot be completed. No other option. You cannot complete step 2. I tried enough times to realize this is a failure as far as I can see. If I am proven to be mistaken I will recant this. As it stands I feel that I was ripped off.

**Developer response:** Your problem is with Garage Band, not my app. My app provides the sounds to download. I included a tutorial, but you can find tutorials on YouTube that will guide you in a better visual way that you can follow along with. After you get the steps down, you'll find it quite easy. Unfortunately Apple's 'Garage Band' is the ONLY way to set the notification sounds on your device without connecting to your computer with iTunes.

### 1/5 — Crashes under iOS 26

*2026-02-22*

Just loaded and while it opens, the black arrow buttons do nothing and the download buttons crash the app.

How can u get a refund?

**Developer response:** Did you grant the storage permission to be able to save the sounds? Did you have internet to download the sounds when you tried?

### 2/5 — Couldnt figure it out

*2026-02-07*

Waste of money for me. Tried everything and it wouldnt work. Hope ya’ll have better luck

**Developer response:** If the included directions weren't clear, or just hard to follow along while doing it, please check Apple's 'Garage Band' app video tutorials on YouTube. It becomes easy once you learn it.

### 1/5 — Waste of Four Bucks

*2026-01-31*

Unless you’re an expert at using the Garage Band App, don’t bother downloading Trek:Sounds. It frustrated me for three days, while I asked people more tech savvy than I to try to help me figure it out. They could not. I ultimately deleted the difficult app and took the loss. Thank goodness it was only a $4 loss.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the bad experience. I included a tutorial, but you can find tutorials on YouTube that will guide you in a better visual way that you can follow along with. After you get the steps down, you'll find it quite easy. Unfortunately Apple's 'Garage Band' is the ONLY way to set the notification sounds on your device without connecting to your computer with iTunes.

### 1/5 — Not worth paying for

*2026-01-24*

Paid 4 euros for nothing. The app is a scam. Pre sound doesn’t work at all. Such a big waste.

**Developer response:** The preview sounds are working. Be sure your volume is up, do-not-disturb is off, you're not connected to anything like earphones you can't hear, and that you have a data connection.
