This tiny simple app allows you to control the media audio - with a single click.
Any loud or annoying media such as ads, videos, games etc. can be muted by a single tap.

When first opening the app - must enable "Appear On Top" for Quick Mute.

Ratings and reviews

Only been using it for about an hour, but so far it's great. Only 4 stars b/c I've not used it extensively AND the button should ALSO either appear on the lock-screen OR the lock-screen notification should work as a mute button! It also tends to get in the way of typing in Docs or Notes no matter where you park it, and that's frustrating. (I wish I had a solution to this. No idea.🤷‍♂️)

Fantastic concept and perfect for instant muting of annoying YT ads. A couple of ideas to improve it: 1. Instead of the 'x' on the top-right of the icon, have a long hold make it disappear instead. The X makes it take up just a little too much screen space, and it's very easy to mistakenly hit the X instead of the icon. 2. Include a setting that allows for the icon to only be present when specific apps are open. EG: YouTube only, etc 3. Allow it to work when phone is on silent.

I have been using this app on 4 very different phones for a couple weeks now. It works great on all of them. Very good job devs thanks. I cannot have commercials keep brainwashing me while i try to relax, this is why I use the mute button. so hopefully they dont add commercials to the app.
