Hear Boost: Recording Ear Aid for Negative User Reviews

✓ Some good and some badIt works how I want it to, but it’s incredibly frustrating that I need to wait 5 minutes between uses, why make us pay for the ability to use a free app, it’s a jerk move and seems like you’re desperate for money, I understand the in app purchase for other features, but an in app purchase that lets you use the MAIN FEATURE is a problem.GR MichaelVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Hear boostIf I could give less than 1 star I would have due to the quality of sound without the equaliser. Yes it’s loud but it’s also incoherent... sorry for the sad review but if this problem gets fixed then I’m sure it’ll be a much better app..BAD.FALAVersion: 1.4.1

✓ UnreliableI tap to listen, and then I tap to record. So, I thought. Mostly, it doesn't play, and, when I transfer the file, it says the file is in an unsupported format..Rob in CbusVersion: 1.7

✓ ONLY FOR HEADPHONESOk, last amendment: According to the developer I don’t understand audio feedback…actually I understand it very well but here are the facts: 1. Your app works with WIRED headphones (without a mic) - I don’t own such a pointless object. 2. Your app apparently works with Bluetooth speakers - no it does not! You get howl unless you turn the volume down which makes it pointless. You should state - ONLY use with headphones and change your logo. It is misleading. Alternatively, keep your misleading logo and vague description BUT instantly refund those who buy it to amplify their music beyond max with Bluetooth speakers. Now, I will not respond again but I have revised my review as follows: DO NOT BUY THIS APP unless you are using wired headphones without a mic - which is virtually no-one!.DMGroupVersion: 1.7

✓ UselessInstalled this app, paid to upgrade, and started recording. I stopped the recording to move to a different area because it was “boosting” the sound of anything but my breathing. Smh When I went to record it told me I couldn’t record for 5 minutes!! Seriously. I pay to upgrade and I have to wait five minutes in between recordings!?? Absolutely ridiculous and useless. I should dispute the charge because I feel like I got nothing for what I paid for..Spatton4Version: 1.4.1

✓ Purchased all upgrades and cannot hear the TVI purchased every possible upgrade and tested it on the TV. I cannot hear a word and I tried to adjust the headphones volume to all levels and once I hit start listening and the equalizer is brought up I hit the blue stop listening but it doesn’t stop. I also hit record twice yet no recordings available. The only way I can “stop listening” is to shrink the app. I looked for an online tutorial but had no luck... very frustrating.GotchitmofotchitVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Processing DelayCan't use this app. The processed signal is delayed from the direct sound resulting in a strong echo effect with wired earphones. The author warns that bluetooth earphones have delay, so it's apparent he intends for users to wear earphones, but as I mentioned above, even with wired earphones, the delay renders the app unusable as the author intends. Aside from that, the app appears to be well designed and implemented, but just not usable with earphones..JohnlyVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Bad sound recoveryVery sketchy.Digger9960Version: 2.3

✓ Amplified surrounding soundsIt enhances the surrounding sounds but it can’t be controlled or fine tuned..RubadubdubgrubVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Wait timeThe app works decent. Bit after you use it for once or twice it want you to upgrade and then you to wait 5 minutes between each use.Funger7777Version: 2.3

✓ This is just like all of the rest of themThe app give you sound and right when you go to turn up the volume because you need to hear someone from across the room the ear buds will then start to screech intensely loud and will hurt your hearing. There hasn’t been one app that can prevent that from happening and there is not an app out there that will allow you to use the service for free and keep it free to use but they are all greedy people who only what you money each week.XfssderthvhVersion: 2.1

✓ It’s ok igI got the app because I wanted loud mic on mobile and it worked amazingly but if you don’t pay money every time you stop using the the app you have to wait 5 minutes to use it again it’s a really good app if you want loud mic but if you don’t want to pay you have to wait.IdktallyVersion: 2.1

✓ Not usefulDelayed sound and muffled voices. You get the normal speech followed on delay by a crackly voice. Not recommended for iPad Air 2.GeordieAl52Version: 1.6

✓ It kinda worksLots of latency and can't listen to music without lots of distortion.AndytherooVersion: 1.7

✓ Don’t do it - switch & baitIf you don’t mind paying extra for each and every feature separately and not told that up front - go for it. But this app is much like having to pay extra for a steering wheel on a brand new car. Worst is the app doesn’t work correctly unless the phone screen is active (sound is echoed and duplicated the moment the screen goes black). Useless.Frustrated-in-MichiganVersion: 2.1

✓ Buzzing onlyWhat is with hiding the prices? You need to buy the app, then the rooms add on, then the equiilizer, then 5 minutes waiting ( my account purchase was charged. Then upgrade you find out about the prices just when you hit buy. No an honest business. Not cool. I spend 15 dollars thinking it was a great app..EarnestoFVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Good for noise amp onlyIncreases background noise but little else.YzptechVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Not for meI wear hearing aids a well, but one broke, and I was hoping maybe an app could compensate. But the sound is delayed. That basically makes it impossible for me to use as a hearing aid. Not even convinced to purchase the other features as they just seem to be for fun. I still gave 3 stars because maybe it’s a good app for other purposes like secretly recording conversations in another room, but that’s not what I was after. I need real time sound. I’m just purchasing some cheap hearing aids until I can afford to get my digital one repaired..PLM-DEVersion: 1.4.1

✓ I love what this app has to offer. However, I would like to see some beneficial changes.I think it would be awesome if this app can work with all Bluetooth speakers so one can use it as a live PA system with awesome effects. At the moment, I find that it works better with my echo devices and not my Bose Sound link micro unless I connect to my echo devices first, disconnect and then connect to my Bose Sound link micro. Other microphone apps work with my Bose Sound link micro Bluetooth speaker instantly. As smart phones now have more than one built in microphone, it would be really good to be able to choose which microphone to use or use more than one simultaneously for stereo or multichannel recording. It should also be possible to choose any built-in phone microphone even if one is wearing headphones to help reduce feedback from built-in headphone microphones. Lastly, it should be easier to share recorded files as at the moment, when I share recordings, particularly on WhatsApp, instead of sending the recorded file, one receives a link to the App Store to download this app. However, files do share very well using iOS messaging service. Putting all of this aside, I still say that this is a fantastic app and I highly recommend it. ☺️.Michael kniteVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Not too happy.I guess the whole upgrade thing is cool but you could’ve just added ads instead of offers..Darr8834Version: 1.6

✓ Loud beepingIt worked great for the first time I used it, no lag, no issues, but every time since then when I try and use it there’s a loud sound that sounds like when you get a microphone too close to an amp. If I had that in my ears when it started I’m sure it would cause me to lose all hearing I have..AhoylegacyVersion: 1.7

✓ Couldn’t get app to work —. There are no instructionsI couldn’t get amplification-only screeching. If there had been instructions perhaps I would’ve been able to learn how to use it. I purchased two in-app items. Luckily they weren’t expensive because I’ll be deleting the app..SF transplant in NYVersion: 2.1

✓ WeakPoor sound quality.BrlwestVersion: 2.1

✓ Rip offRubbish app. The sound quality was decent before I purchased the app but now all I hear is feedback. I use a headset but still the same issue. I don’t hear feedback with other apps that use a microphone. They are probably trying to find ways to push people To upgrade. I want a refund what is the point of the app is all i get is feedback. Avoid! Do not purchase. App will only work for a few days and when I tried to find ways to fix it it kept pushing me to upgrade for more money..Ashleigh sarpongVersion: 1.7

✓ Cutting In and OutCould not listen to anything, was not going to purchase until I could guarantee it actually worked..Rexie04Version: 1.4.1

✓ PointlessCan’t hear a thing, tried slowly raising volume on app and then device as suggested. Absolutely useless, no idea why it’s got so many good ratings..Gedi6Version: 1.4.2

✓ BadReally bad.Chi chi1 popVersion: 1.4.1

✓ PoorIt does not work well.Jimmy2035Version: 2.1

✓ Great but…It's a great app, it's better than your spy, and your spy was a super listener let me tell you, but this app is even better, but you're probably wondering, I get to the point, why did you read it three stars and why did you say great but? I said this because, I do not want to have to use the microphone on my Bluetooth headset, it is not very good, I would like an option to use the microphone on my phone even though I have a Bluetooth headset connected, I can do that with your spy, also, I do not like that you have to wait before you can listen again, or Pay the price for an upgrade..Thunder BoomVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Not workingDoes not work with Bluetooth.ThezeteVersion: 1.8

✓ Lost my saved recordingsIt worked amazing at first but then it randomly won't show my recordings and or even let me do the changes to the volume equalizer anymore even when I made a subscription.ColtdeboardVersion: 1.4.1

✓ MeTotally useless will not consider the supplier again.601fsVersion: 1.7

✓ Multiple expensive in app upgrades neededApp works fine but to get all the necessary features you have to pay for each upgrade separately, it’s £3.49 just to get the tone control (equalizer), you pay again to record without post operation pauses etc. Fine if you are rich but if cheaper booster/recorders elsewhere that have all the features included. Disappointing..Teach99Version: 1.8

✓ I can’t review effectivelySo, I wish I could give an accurate review. That is impossible. There are so many features that can’t even be tried out before you pay $4.99 or $3.99. I wouldn’t pay anything like that without testing the features first to see if it’s worth it. I like the recording feature though. I went to test the listening and recording again from out of the room and couldn’t. It wanted me to wait for 5 minutes to listen again! So, here’s my review…………. The features seem like they would be cool, but I have no idea how well this app works. 😊.Batman2287Version: 1.7

✓ Not cool that you have to wait a minute bet. UsesI was trying this app out to use w/ bone conductive headphones (I have hearing loss). It seemed ok so I purchased the equalizer to try to improve. Now when I went to test it out a pop up came up with a minute plus countdown that I have to wait in order to use again or pay for an upgrade. I feel duped. I wish I hadn’t purchased the equalizer..JudgeworksVersion: 1.1.1

✓ App Not WorkingI can only hear myself using this app and extremely loud garbled sounds, is there any way to fix this, have the paid version as well..JeiksnhejVersion: 2.3

✓ The good and the badThe amplification is very impressive and it does help me hear audio books and podcasts when their volume is too low for my somewhat compromised hearing. I use on my iPhone with Bluetooth ear phones, hearing aids and bone conduction headset. The main issue with this use is the microphone is also amplified, not just the audio book and podcast. I am guessing I am not using this app as designed but if there was a microphone mute option I would probably give it 5 stars. The amplification of the microphone input is biased to high tones and does not provide a clear and easy to understand hearing environment. My suggestion for a hearing aid related app is a bridge between hearing aids with native iPhone connectivity to TV’s and other Bluetooth enabled audio sources. Typically this requires hearing aid specific transmitters and receivers with ~$300 price tags. Possibly this app could provide this advanced function as a premium?.AmosAdamitVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Sounds like everyone is in a wellI read the reviews and the app designer’s suggestions for problems. I’m pretty sure I was doing everything correctly, but there wasn’t any amplification, and an occasional loud pop made it unusable. I could literally hear much better when I simply removed my Raycons from my ears. I would normally try to find something good to say at this point, but I got nothin’..Truckemup97Version: 1.7

✓ Free trial is worthlessIf you try it for 10 seconds they make you wait 5 minute to try it again. Ridiculous. All I learned from the trial version is that they want you to upgrade. Upgrade to what? There’s no opportunity to try. I deleted it and will try something else..Gigglegirl7Version: 1.4.1

✓ Great app BUT...I have downloaded numerous sound enhancers and this has by far been my favorite. What little audio I do kno has been self taught, so some of the apps are over my head or more than I’m looking to spend on something I’ll only use in my spare time. I’m satisfied w/ what the app offers after paying for the upgrade. My problem is the CONSTANT CRASHING! I’ve installed-deleted-reinstalled-restored purchases at least a dozen times!!!! If I completely get out of the app I’m unable to reopen w/out doing it all over again! I’ve dealt w/ this extremely irritating issue since my first time closing the app. I have little downtime, so wasting precious mins repeating this process is inconvenient to say the least not to mention having to write such a negative review! I really hope to give this app the 5 stars it deserves!.Amber_Lynn_JamesVersion: 1.4.1

✓ PoorPoor instructions cheaper to get a hearing aid.Infinite1961Version: 1.4.1
