### 5/5 — Ecstatic

*2026-03-01*

I bought this specifically to annoy my mom when she complains. Absolute best purchase I’ve made

### 5/5 — Violin

*2026-02-03*

I use the violin often and always does the trick!

### 5/5 — Best app for dads with whiny kids

*2025-09-14, version 1.2.1*

😭😭😭😂

### 4/5 — What’s not to love?

*2025-09-12*

Reading the other reviews I bought this instantly because it’s exactly what I was looking for, it is complete simplicity. However my biggest gripe (que the violin!) is the bright white background with light grey selection with white letters in it.. completely washes out the selections. What’s wrong with a black background with those buttons being the same? Seriously though..!

### 5/5 — If you like Cartman’s tiny violin

*2025-04-28*

I bought this after remembering the Walmart episode of South Park where Cartman plays a tiny violin for whiny Kyle. Basically I thought to myself “wait, I remember wanting an app for this years ago. If nobody has created a good one, I’ll release one”. No need! This is amazing. This dev is a God among ants. Happy to pay $2 to rip on my family for crying about 47 and Elon through the Easter holiday!

### 5/5 — Worth it.

*2025-03-15, version 1.2.1*

Worth the $2 😂

### 5/5 — Use it all the time!

*2025-02-26*

I love to pull this out when I hear something “sad”my wife says. I need this available on my Apple Watch! It’ll take this to app to a whole new level if available

### 5/5 — Needs more options

*2024-08-24*

Great simple app, 

1. More quotes
    a: quote directory 
    b: add quotes 

2. Additional Sad song to pick from

### 5/5 — Use it all the time!

*2023-10-14*

I love to pull this out when I hear something sad to lighten the mood. I need this available on my Apple Watch! It’ll take this to app to a whole new level if available

### 5/5 — The perfect app

*2023-10-01*

This is better than banking or paying credit cards.  What's more, it makes me laugh.

The quotes are over the top.

My soul says, "Thank you for this app."
