Whip Sound Pocket Simulator is a simple sound app that many users find frustrating due to an overwhelming number of ads, forced subscriptions, and frequent reports of the app not producing sound. While some users enjoy it for pranks, the value is severely undermined by its monetization practices and functional issues.

Free vs paid

The free version of the app is heavily criticized for containing an excessive number of ads and offering only a limited number of whip sound options R4R11R21. Many users report that the app forces them to pay to access more than one or two options, or even to use the app at all R7R21R24R33. The paid version, which some users report as a weekly subscription costing $1.99, is intended to unlock additional whip sounds and remove ads R9R143R145R150. However, some who purchased extra whips found them disappointing and could not get refunds R215.

  2. [R11] 2/5 · US Don’t bother!: If you’re up for being constantly annoyed by ads go ahead and download this app. I’m deleting it from my phone.
  3. [R132] 1/5 · US Annoying: Constant ads and trying to get you to pay a subscription for an extra 3 whipping sounds
  4. [R147] 1/5 · US Delete: Adds adds adds
  5. [R7] 1/5 · US This app requires a subscription to use!: Only thing it does is animate. Waste of time.
  6. [R21] 3/5 · US Ok: You have to have your ringer on. Then you have to pay unless you want only to options.
  7. [R24] 1/5 · US Why I give it 1 star: This app is useless and it make me pay for the others I can’t enjoy a joke if i have to pay
  8. [R33] 1/5 · US Pay to play: There’s no indication, but once you download, install, set this all up (and there is a little personal information) then they let you know they want to charge a monthly fee. Stupid app to have to charge more money for a month is crazy!
  9. [R9] 1/5 · US Trap: After it showed that I had to pay $1.99 per week to use this app I tried to cancel the app and it wouldn’t let me it forced its way onto my phone and I still haven’t been able to find out how to get out of it paying the 199 do not download it. It’s a trap.
  10. [R143] 1/5 · US Not a free app!: $2 per week!
  11. [R145] 1/5 · US $1.99 weekly subscription crap: There must be something in the small print about this app suddenly changing over to the premium subscription and charging $2 a week for this senseless app. If you download this, be sure to go to your subscriptions and shut this off before you get hit with the non-refundable charges. Pretty shady if them to do this.

  15. [R158] 3/5 · US I wish: I wish you didn’t have to pay for “extras” in a app that is just making a sound
  16. [R215] 3/5 · US In App Purchasing: I love this app, don’t get me wrong. But I purchased the extra whips and they were such a disappointment. I tried to get my money back, but I cannot. Don’t buy the pro version.
