This is an awesome application
I bought this app not expecting much, but thought it would be cool to try. My dog was in the room when I started playing with the app. My iPhone was set to the highest volume level. I might have scared her by starting off at such a high volume level because she tries to find a place to hide when I activate it. So, instead of training her to come at the sound, I decided to try to get her to stop barking at the TV. I enabled the bark detector feature and set it up to make a 17.3 kHz tone (1000 Hz Oscillation). I turned on the TV at a nice low volume level. She started barking, and wiithin 30 seconds, she figured out that her barking was making the whistle happen and she stopped barking at the TV. Now she just watches the TV and wines when she sees a dog on it. I dont even need to have the app enabled anymore and she doesnt bark at the TV.
I might try to select a different tone or modulation to train her to come, but for now, we got far more than our moneys worth on this thing. I dont know why anyone would rate this poorly unless their i____ device doesnt have a speaker (or the speaker has a reduced high frequency range).
One other cool thing I found is that my kids can here many of the tones (15 khz for example) that I cant hear. Maybe I can train them to clean their rooms with it :)
