Doctor Who: Sonic Screwdriver (Official) Entertainment App Review (iOS, $1.99)

Description

Turn your iPhone into the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver with the Official Doctor Who Virtual Sonic Screwdriver app!

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who in sonic style with detailed graphics, authentic sound effects, an augmented reality background option, and so much more. It's like you're using a real Sonic Screwdriver, not your iPhone! So grab your fez and bow tie (bow ties are cool!), and don't leave your TARDIS without it!

Features:
- Detailed 3D models of 5 of the Doctor's Sonic Screwdrivers, each with their own unique details and features! Whether you've been a fan for 50 years, or only 5, there's a Sonic Screwdriver for you! Includes the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor's Sonic Screwdrivers, and the classic Third and Fourth Doctor's Sonic Screwdrivers! NOW INCLUDES THE WAR DOCTOR'S SONIC SCREWDRIVER as seen in the 50th Anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor"!
- Two background options: The transparent background makes it look like you're holding a real Sonic Screwdriver, not your iPhone, or you can explore the cosmos with the detailed deep space backgrounds!
- Take photos with your sonic and share them with your friends #DoctorWho #SonicScrewdriver
- Authentic sounds from the TV show for each and every action! Each Sonic Screwdriver is different.
- Simple point and think controls! Touch the screen to activate, and slide your finger up and down to change the pitch of the sound.
- Tilt and movement controls! Activate the Sonic Screwdriver and tilt your iPhone to change the pitch. You can even shake the 11th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver to extend it, just like the Doctor does!
- Two zoom levels: See the details up close, or see the whole Sonic Screwdriver on the screen at once!
- The Sonic Screwdriver controls your iPhone's flash, making this the coolest flashlight app in the galaxy!

The Doctor uses his Sonic Screwdriver to unlock doors and hack computer systems!
He defeats Daleks, and scares Cybermen!
He scans the shadows for Vashta Nerada, and lights the way to whole new worlds!
He saves the universe every day with his trusty Sonic Screwdriver in his pocket!

What will you use your Virtual Sonic Screwdriver for? Simply point and think! Your imagination is the limit!

  by StargateFanSG-1

  I went to the Doctor Who 50th anniversary in the theaters and everyone in the audience had real sonic screwdrivers. I felt kind of left out so I thought to myself "Hey, there might be a sonic app" so I searched he App Store and sure enough there it was! Awesome!! This is super fun and a must have for any Doctor Who fan. :)

• Omg

  by hobojoe1234567890

  You guys are amazing my friends bought the app and watch doctor who because if me

• I haven't gotten this excited in years

  by Sir Anthony

  I got this app and thought it was going to be a waste of two dollars. Instead someone needs to make a sixth star so I can rate it. Best Whovian app I have ever encountered.

• Love it!

  by HazarD2013

  Works well. Love war doctor's sonic screwdriver in addition to other four!

• Here's a thought

  by Leaflyn

  First off, this app is amazing and thank you for adding the War Doctor's sonic. As for the new picture feature I love the idea, but it would be better if we could cover the screwdriver with our hand so It looks like we are actually grasping it. Also if it's not too much trouble, it would be bow-tie cool if we could rotate the screwdriver's camera without changing the angle of the transparent so it would look like we're pointing it at our friends in the picture! Just a thought....

• Love! But, due for upgrade

  by GregSinadinos

  Great app! Trust me when I say it's worth every penny. The only suggestion I could make is that the texture quality is due for an upgrade. Seems like something from an N64 cut scene.

• ALLONS-Y!!!!

  by ern3589

  I love it so much I'm at a loss for words!!

• Amazing!

  by YourFaithfulFangirl

  The sounds, details, lighting -- all so beautiful!! Can't wait to see what is added next. Perhaps the Master's laser screwdriver?! Now that would be brilliant!

• Bloody brilliant

  Great fun app. Wish it had the eighth doctors though and the different shade for the ninth. And maybe even the seconds.

  by Cheese Weasel

  Amazing! More fun than finding a Jammie Dodger in the couch cushions! Do not blink. Run! And download this app now.

• Great!

  by gmaswimmer

  Although it looks fake, what do you expect All the sounds, frequencies, and functions! GERONIMO

• Really Cool

  by TPugh99

  Really cool app

• Absolutely Fantastic!

  by Ninth Doctor

  Well programmed and executed. Now you should add the war doctor's TARDIS to the TARDIS app you guys have going.

• The best

  by Kolbyrne

  The best period

• Nothing bad! But...

  by Clingcreeper

  I would love to see a custom screwdriver option. I would pay extra for that.

• I love this app.

  by The Unknown Doctor

  Love all the sonics but could you add an unknown sonic screwdriver?

• ALLONS-Y, GERONIMO!!

  by Whovian_Kaily

  If you love doctor who (war doctor, eleventh, tenth, fourth) you will feel like you have been "exterminated" by a ray of flipping rainbows :) love this app!! Be sure to get the TARDIS app too!!!!!

• River songs sonic?

  by Fisheater47

  It would be nice if it had red mode to

• War doctor screwdriver

  by Fgdgcgchgv

  Love this app:) Allonsy!

• Sonic Screwdriver app : Best screwdriver ever!!!

  by iRakow

  This app gives me the smile I need for a day!!! I just have great fun imagining I'm the Doctor!!! :D

• Love this app

  by Mike Frasca

  I love this app so much. Can u guys maybe put river songs future sonic screwdriver and that will make this app my favorite app of all time

• Looks cool in theory but...

  by chadadada17

  ...I can't keep it open long enough before it crashes. Fix that issue and I'll be a happy(er) man.

• F*%#ing brilliant 2

  by Uberdoctorwhofan1

  Again This app is amazing. The attention to detail is stellar, the ability to rotate, extend, and retract the device is a nice touch, and the backgrounds are stunning. And once more My only issues are that the app occasionally crashes and that the future, and first model, screwdrivers are not present. Otherwise it's stellar. Nice model of the time war sonic.

• Suggestion

  by Turner Sitton

  You should add River Song's sonic in the next update

• Awesome App!

  by Go and get this app

  This app is great especially now that they added another sonic. It works well and the sounds and sonics detail themselves are perfect! If you're a whovian then you'll love this app. ALLON-SY!

• Awesome app

  by Wolsliki

  I do not regret getting this app money well spent

• What a fun Useless Creation!

  by Chazzemel

  The War Doctor’s sonic is a welcome addition. I’m hoping that the 8th Doctor’s sonic from the “Night of the Doctor” prequel will find it’s way to the app sometime soon. I know it’s a minor variation of the 4th Doctor’s but I can wish.

• Really fun

  by vannypants

  Has all of the sonics as far as I know! Very worth the money.

• Fantastic - now with War Doc sonic!

  by sidspappy

  Much like the unofficial SonicTool, but takes it further and modernized for iOS 7. The ability to activate the flash is a nice touch. It simply could not have been done better! Get it now, and be ready to #savetheday! P.S. Please update periodically - such as River Song's sonic, and if Peter Capaldi's Doctor gets a new one, can we have it too? Thanks! P.P.S. - Thanks for the War Doctor's sonic!

• Great app!!!

  by Alienweirdo21

  This is a great app for all those whovians out there also the sounds are so and perfect!

• Fan-tastic!

  by naþæniel_reykvn

  This is a wonderful app! Nothing like the high-pitched whirr of a Sonic Screwdriver out in public to make oneself shout, “Allons-y!” Further, I was absolutely ecstatic to see the War Doctor’s Sonic! It will be difficult to bring myself to switch to another one! Same software, different case!

• Doctor who!!!

  by fhorn678

  If you love Doctor Who, then you're gong to love this app!!!

• No

  by Dean Cooper

  Don't waste your money only a 1 star do to forced rate

• Screwdrivers

  by Ze_bezt

  I have been waiting for the war doctor's sonic, and now it's here! Super excited

• I'm the WAR Doctor!!!

  by nycbloke

  This is amazing! Allons-y!! Geronimo!! Love it!!

• Love it!

  by SpyderPool

  Awesome simple app, but when do we get the War Doctors screwdriver?!?

• ???

  by No please do not play this

  The one thing it is realistic although it is not very cool.

• ADD MORE SONICS!!!

  by J.Smith2994

  I absolutely love this app! But, I'd love to see more sonics added, like Rivers screwdriver, some of the Master's screwdrivers & the rest of the Doctor's screwdrivers, mainly the War Doctor's and the first doctor's screwdrivers!! Please add them soon!!!

• Pretty good, but...

  by Mine turtle says hello

  They should add a few more sonic devices, such as: 6's sonic lance, Amy's sonic probe, war doc's screwdriver, masters (old and new) laser screwdrivers, and maybe river song's sonic (instead of having it extent when shook, it switches color!)

• Very surprised

  by Proguy94

  I am happily surprised how well made and fun this app is maybe a bit expensive I think 0.99 would do, but a fantastic and fun app.

• Fantastic!

  by PositiveAppReview

  I love it! It's amazing

• Fantastic!

  by Xue Liu

  This app is great for any fan of doctor who! For your next update you guys should add John Hurt's sonic from the fiftieth anniversary.

• Great true to show Doctor Who app

  by PiDayPam

  Great interactive models of the screwdrivers from multiple doctors. Looks and sounds just like the shows.

• LOVE THIS!!!

  by StevieSteve007

  This app is AMAZING. It's seriously like having a sonic screwdriver in your pocket! I've been waiting for something like this, and it doesn't disappoint! A must own for any whovian :)

• Same software different case.

  by VW nut

  Fun

• Dr. Who Rocks!

  by PiedayPam

  As a huge fan of Dr. Who, I have to share how awesome this app is! There is so much versatility - you can change screwdrivers, use your own background or deep space, and I LOVE the shake and extend feature. The sounds are perfect! It all just works so well. I know other super fans are going to really appreciate and enjoy this app!! While you're at it - grab the TARDIS app, too! Versatile, fun - love the photo option!

• More please

  by Appledude12

  I would like Rivers sonic, the sonic pen, and the war doctors sonic. Im sure other people do too. THANKS!

• No sound

  by Jedifuzzy

  Sound does not work often. I love the app but the sound needs to be fixed
