### 2/5 — Scream so loud you lose your voice

*2017-10-08, version 1.0*

Concept is great, however the fact I have to scream at the top of my lungs just to get it to register my voice is ridiculous . Uninstalling until they make it more sensitive to sound.

### 2/5 — Huge bug

*2017-08-16, version 1.0*

This game also comes with many other mini games so you don't get bored of he app. And if you watch enough ads at one you can disable them all for free. BUT one hue problem, whenever I try to play another game it immedietly makes me play this stupid ball game where it bounces and you dodge blocks. So all the games it comes with don't even work because of this 👎👎😾

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-04-20, version 1.0*

When I scream into my mic, it doesn't even jump. It moves a little and just falls which is even more frustrating. I know it isn't a problem with my mic either, my phone is fully functional.

### 5/5 — I get a headache but it's actually fun!

*2017-04-04, version 1.0*

I thought it was really boring at first but now since some of my friends and competing who can get the highest score we are all going ham on it.😂💙😂

### 5/5 — 5 star

*2017-04-02, version 1.0*

So amazed no but needs more levels and challenges

### 5/5 — About the game

*2017-03-26, version 1.0*

There is so much options to play with and I love the sound control game.

### 5/5 — Recenzja

*2017-03-26, version 1.0*

I think that this is a original idea for game and it's worth play.
It also is a great experience because I think/know you have never tried it before.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2017-03-25, version 1.0*

I love the game it's hard though! But I don't know how to use the camera 😭

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-03-24, version 1.0*

It's a lot of fun and there is a lot of options to choose from.

### 5/5 — Stressful yet stress relieving

*2017-03-22, version 1.0*

If you want to scream it's fun. The mic isn't super sensitive, so going up, you need to really scream, but you can kind of just hum to keep up. There's five stars to unlock the other levels. It's pretty chill. Kind of fun to scream at your phone.
