App crashing simulator

As the title says, I just payed a dollar to watch an app crash over and over and over again.
Fail

I instantly regret purchasing this seconds after. Not only is the red bar at the top drive my OCD crazy but it randomly says polo out of no where. Also you have to be right by the phone for it to respond. So when you actually lose your phone hope that it's under you or next to you because it won't pick up you saying Marco. The concept is great but would be even better if it actually worked
Great idea, doesn't live up to the expectations

This app is a great idea, I bought the app downloaded it and started using it right away I tested it out listening to it respond with polo in all the cool different voices it has but then, a few annoyances, 1.yes the red bar at the top can get on your nerves a but really it's not to big of a deal, 2.you have to be close to the phone for it to pick up your voice, yeah you can't be down the hall and around the corner but if you keep walking around your house saying Marco, eventually it will pick it up, and finally number three which to me personally is the most annoying problem and perhaps the biggest reason for a person to not buy this app is 3.the frequency with which this app goes off when It hears words that aren't Marco is ridiculous, I was showing my girlfriend how cool this app was and then my phone down while we watched a show, and then throughout the whole show the app started going off with polo,polo,polo,polo sometimes when we were talking about something and other times when something was said on TV, this is obviously the biggest inconvenience, what if you bought this app and you assume it's going to be quiet except when someone says Marco and your in a business meeting and your phone starts going off because the app is picking up what it thinks to be Marco, you'll hurriedly grab your phone and go in and shut down the app, there are countless examples ofhow that problem could cause many other unintentional problems and give cause to unhappy reviews for the app, a slow down of purchases from the App Store and an all out cease of use from all of the current apps downloaders leaving the apps designer pretty upset. So after this whole rant that I didn't actually intend to go on this long let me give a quick and to the point review, if you could please, please find some way to make the app only respond to the actual call of Marco that would make this app one of the best on the App Store, and make a lot of people happy, and hey even make you the app designer more money which I'm pretty sure is why you made this to begin with right?
Great concept, but doesn't work
Apple Rocks Hard
I've never given an app one star before, but I have to this time. Don't get me wrong. The whole idea behind this app is fantastic, and from the description, it looks like you're getting something really useful. After all, shouting to find a misplaced phone is a lot easier than calling it or launching find my iPhone from a computer to try and locate it. The idea behind this app deserves five stars, but the execution of this idea is very very poor. In short, it worked as long as my mouth was almost right on top of the iPhone, but when I walked a few feet away and shouted, it couldn't hear me at all, and it didn't respond. I guess this app can help you find your iPhone if you place it a few inches away and forget where you set it down, but if it's anywhere more than 2 feet away from you, you won't be able to find it. The app simply doesn't work the way it supposed to. Perhaps, a microphone sensitivity setting may be all that is needed to improve the apps listening range, but at present, that feature is not available. So, the app cannot be adjusted so that it can hear you from more than a few feet away, making it perfectly useless. Right now, don't waste your money.wait until the next update.
Not worth 99 cents

It only responds when I am right next to it, which defeats the purpose! Also your microphone has to be constantly on ... Who knows who is listening in at any time!
So much fun!

I don't know what the others are talking about? Sure, it may not be the most practical, or practical at all for that matter, but it is fun to show your friends or find your phone around the house. I like it.
