I can’t even get a response for the support email. Extremely disappointing as I am an expecting father and I spent time making recordings for my daughter who is due soon. I’m probably going to get a response to reach out to the support email. They do not respond ! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all *2023-07-28* Unfortunately, I can’t record anything in the app (it says to contact my administrator) and after deleting from my phone and redownloading I can’t log back in. Tried to reset my password and am met with a jumble of html. Overall very disappointed in these kinda expensive, large, adhesive headphones I purchased that don’t work at all for their intended or unintended purpose. ### 1/5 — Unable to use app *2023-07-24* The app was wonderful at first but now I’m completely unable to use it. Nothing shows up when I try to select things to record or play. I’m a surrogate and the big sister of the baby I’m carrying sent a message and I cannot access it anymore. I tried emailing support and never received a reply. I recently deleted the app to redownload it hoping maybe that would help but I couldn’t remember the password and now some error comes up when I request a password reset. ### 1/5 — Unable to reach a customer service representative *2023-02-15* This is my first pregnancy and the belly buds and VoiceShare app was recommended by a family member. I was excited to use and record my parents and my husbands parents voice because we leave far from them. I was successful to record and able to play the audio twice. Then there was an update and I had to log in again and reseted my password and my recording got lost. I have been trying to reach a customer service representative for two months now and I have not received an email back. Thank you for making this a horrible experience. ### 1/5 — App never works *2022-11-14, version 2.6.0* I just received one of the speakers as a gift for my baby boy that I’m having soon. The app only worked on the first day and now I can’t even log on or reset my password. I am very disappointed that I can’t even use this item that was give as a gift for the baby ### 1/5 — DO NOT make in app purchase *2021-01-06, version 2.4.7* This app is a gigantic rip off. DO NOT make an in app purchase. Too glitchy, will not play music or recordings. I paid $8 for a Bach album to play for baby and it won’t play. Husband bought a book to record himself reading and share with me to play for baby it is NOWHERE to be found. Did not sync with my account. It’s nothing short of a scam. This renders the belly buds essentially worthless. Don’t waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — Good intentions, poor execution and quality *2020-11-24, version 2.4.7* Terrible UX/UI. Impossible to navigate from signup to inviting others and recording. Must be a young company, in dire need of additional funding to execute this service and improve their coding and system architecture. Wish them the best of luck and hope they can turn it around because it’s a great concept especially during COVID quarantine. ### 5/5 — Sharing *2020-08-25, version 2.4.7* I love how my all our family can send our baby messages. I have a lot of family out of state and with COVID they haven’t been able to travel. This makes it still feel like they are apart of this experience which I love. ### 1/5 — Deleted all my recordings *2020-08-21, version 2.4.7* Love the concept but we recorded 5 things, and app overwrote the old content as we added new. Lost all recordings I wanted to share with baby. Don’t use for anything you care about. I emailed tech support, it’s been 2 days and no word. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — LOGGED ME OUT *2020-07-25, version 2.4.7* The app logged me out after MONTHS of using it with no problem. I tried to log back in. I am unable to. I then tried to reset my password. The password won’t reset. I am VERY UPSET by this! ## Frequently asked questions about VoiceShare ### What does VoiceShare do?
