Funny Voice Reverse

Why I Downloaded Funny Voice Reverse

My son’s 4th grade class was doing a project on how sound works, and his teacher suggested finding an app to play with audio. I searched for something simple and free, and Funny Voice Reverse popped up. I figured it could be a fun, hands-on way for him to learn. We downloaded it on my iPhone 14, thinking we’d use it for the school project and maybe get a few silly clips out of it. Honestly, I was a little wary of random free apps, but the high rating made me give it a shot. A month later, the school project is long done, but the app is still on my phone because my kids keep asking to use it.

Standout Features

The reversing feature is the whole point, and it works perfectly every time. My daughter recorded herself saying “I love broccoli” and playing it backwards had us all cracking up at the dinner table last Tuesday. The pitch slider is the other big win. You can make anyone sound like a tiny mouse or a giant monster, which is pure gold for a six-year-old’s imagination. The sound effects are okay—things like a record scratch or a cartoon “boing.” They’re not amazing, but they’re enough to make a simple recording feel like a little production. I appreciate that you can save clips. We have a folder of reversed versions of my husband’s dad jokes that the kids think are hilarious.

Daily Use Experience

For actually using it, the app is super simple. You open it, hit the big button, and talk. My kids can figure it out without my help, which is a major plus. Sharing the clips is easy too; we’ve sent reversed birthday messages to grandparents and it always gets a laugh. The ads are a bit of a pain. They show up as banners at the bottom and sometimes as a full-screen video after you save a clip. I have to keep an eye on it because my son will just tap anywhere to make things go away. My only real gripe is that longer recordings, like when my son tried to reverse his entire recital piece, took a surprisingly long time to process on my phone.

Cost Breakdown

It’s free. You get all the main tools without paying anything. There’s no subscription begging or a “pro” version locked behind a paywall, which I really like. The trade-off is the ads. Sometimes a pop-up will offer extra sound packs if you watch a video, but you can just close it. For a bit of fun, the price is right. I wouldn’t pay for an app like this, so the free model works for our family.

Support Experience

This is where things fell flat for me. About two weeks ago, the app started crashing every time I tried to load a saved recording. The new ones worked fine, but I couldn’t access any of our old funny clips. I used the contact form in the app’s settings to report the bug. I got an automated email back the next day saying they’d look into it. A full week went by with no other response. I sent a follow-up email last Monday and finally got a reply on Thursday that just said, “Try restarting your device.” I’d already done that, obviously. The issue actually fixed itself after an app update yesterday, but the whole experience left me feeling like if we had a real problem, we’d be on our own.

Privacy Verdict

This is my biggest hesitation. The app asks for microphone access, which makes sense. But when I looked at the App Store listing, the privacy details linked to the developer, BigSoft inc., show they “may collect data linked to you” for advertising. It doesn’t specify what voice data they keep or how they use it. That makes me nervous. I don’t let my kids use it for recording anything personal, like our address or their full names. It’s fine for silly noises and nonsense phrases, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable using it for anything private. I wish they were clearer about what happens to our recordings after we make them.
