Released July 5, 2021Major

iOS

The major update triggered a highly negative impact, with the average iOS rating declining by 0.24 stars from 1.73 to 1.49. This drop is driven by a critical launch bug that causes the application to hang indefinitely on the loading screen. The update is a failure as it renders the soundboard completely non-functional for a large portion of the active user base.

Retrospective analysisJuly 30, 2026

The average rating declined by 0.24 stars post-update, dropping from 1.73 to 1.49 stars on iOS.
