### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-04-12*

Does not work, plays no sounds

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-04-06*

No sounds.

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry for the issue you’ve run into. I believe the issue is regarding the volume/sound settings on your phone. Is the sound slider button on the side of your phone off? If this is switched off there will be no audio from the app. However, if you have this turned on and the volume up you will hear sounds from the app like normal. Please check this issue and update review. Have a great day!

### 5/5 — Nothing plays.

*2018-05-23*

I just purchased this app and yet none of the sounds I’ve tried will actually play. It should work immediately, I assume. Is that right?

Update: it’s working now :) thanks for getting back to me.

**Developer response:** Hello, I believe the issue is regarding the volume/sound settings on your phone. Is the sound slider button on the side of your phone off? If this is switched off there will be no audio from the app. However, if you have this turned on and the volume up you will hear sounds from the app like normal. Please check this issue and update review. Have a great day!

### 1/5 — Crash

*2017-10-12*

The Thing crashes

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. The crash was caused by a fault in iOS 11. The app was updated last year and it works fine on all supported iOS versions now. If you update to version 1.5 you'll see that the issue has been resolved. Have a great day! 

Hey there, have you had a chance to update the app?

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2017-10-07*

App does not work and should not be in the App Store. Please don’t waste your money and apple should not allow this app in the store.

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. The app was updated shortly after your review, and also please make sure the sound switch on the side of your phone is on so you’ll hear the sounds. Sometimes people have issues with the sound not playing but the problem happens due to the audio switch on the side of their phone being on silent. Please try using the app again and update your review with the results. Have a great day! Update; Have you tried my solution to your problem??

### 1/5 — None

*2016-01-28*

This app doesn't allow you to use for alerts or sounds.  I downloaded to use for alerts for texts but it won't transfer to your sounds on iPhone 6.  Waste of money, don't buy!

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry that you had a bad experience with the app. However, there's no mention in the description or screenshots of being able to set sound effects within this app as alerts.

### 5/5 — Totally Awesome

*2014-01-25*

There's tons of nostalgic and classic video game sounds. Totally worth paying for. Great app for the classic gamer.

**Developer response:** Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the app. Sorry for the late response, but developers were just recently given the ability to respond to reviews. Have a great day!
