We are pleased that you are using our tonies app. Our App-Tonies are always hard at work for you. In this update, they have once again worked on improvements. If your mobile phone memory is full during a recording, you can now save your recording until then. We have also optimised some steps in the setup process of the Toniebox: The request for access rights has been corrected. WLAN names (SSIDs) can now also be entered manually. Occasionally, it can happen that the set up process was successful despite the code word "hedgehog". This is now displayed. Do you have questions or feedback? The Tonie customer service is there for you in your profile.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: tonies at 4.6 against SimLink's 2.4. tonies also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 25%) and ratings volume (8.8K vs 8). SimLink's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
