2024-09-15 | Benjamin McIntosh | Used to like this basic tone generator but now it has menus that you must navigate through with artificially long loading times between each and promotions for other unrelated apps. No longer a fan | |
2024-07-28 | Rob | Update: Crash may be fixed but now the ads were too loud and immediate so closed before I could use it. Sorry, I'm uninstalling. Org 2022 review: No longer opens after update - just crashes immediately. Used it two days ago without any issues | |
2024-07-25 | Kirill | This app used to be so great. One app, one purpose, simple, functional. But now it has been filled with redundant menus, ads, data collection, and loading screens. Oh those loading screens. As a software developer myself, i understand the desire to profit off of my work and promote other projects of mine. However, there are non-intrusive ways to display ads. I miss the "tool that does what is should. nothing less nothing more" user experience this app used to provide. Does still work though 👍 | |
2024-07-19 | Woodsie | Good but no need to update. It was a good app. The tones were a bit noisy but perfect for what I needed it for. I don't like change. They updated the app and I'm not a fan of the interface anymore. With the update of course comes ads, not too invasive but I'm looking elsewhere now | |
2024-07-04 | Tim Keller | This used to be an awesome app, unobtrusive ads did what it said it did on the tin. Now it's got annoying popups, a splash screen and generally just unfriendly design. With no real change in functionality other than anti user behaviors. I get you should profit from your work. But actually making products worse is horrible. I can no longer recommend this app after using it on and off for the better part of of the decade it's been out. | |
2024-05-21 | Paul Salomon | Whoa the app changed a lot this year! It used to be simple and intuitive, but now it is clunky, loaded with obnoxious ads, and has less features. Good job devs! Don't pay any attention to reviews written before 2024 or the screenshots provided by the developer. This is a completely different app now. | |
2024-03-03 | Ian | Recent changes made it not so simple, they have added 3 different menus you have to hop through just to get to the generator itself. each menu also has an ad break after navigating through it. I much preferred the original ad style and how it immediately went to the generator instead of placing multiple screens before it. they have also removed the slider. | |
2024-02-10 | Brandon Jaffe | It was a good until the last update where they changed the interface to be terrible and now has tons of ads to the point of being unusable. Just downloaded the APK elsewhere to get the old one back. | |
2024-02-02 | Evan Teixeira | Awful since the update. I immediately uninstalled. The app used to be very simple and very useful. Now it's riddled with ads and the interface makes no sense. Stay away if you're looking for a good simple tool. | |
2021-10-25 | hardwarehotel | One of the WORST tone generators on here! Huge obtrusive ADS with ear blasting advertising audio that ruined my listening and testing experience. Plus this tone generator stopped on my Samsung phone as soon as the screen went off! This tone generator should shut off as soon as I stop it physically not switch off by itself! TM SOFT Tone generator is superior to this! |
