Ratings and reviews

It actually works, and has more functionality than stock, as there is song and artist name and album art, and more importantly, skipping back and forward. And it can start the music player that was last used (I use Neutron, as all stock music players suck, and it does start Neutron). Album art not always loads/fits in the screen, but that never works perfectly even in the phone itself. It would be nice if it showed the hour somewhere on the screen as well to avoid switching to main screen.

I installed it mainly for the improvement over the Sony app of being able to skip songs. I have a question: What does the "Automatic stop extension" option does? And a couple of requests: - Like Rad Weab said, the finger snap detection is too sensitive. Is it possible to add an option to turn it off? Maybe it is not different from the "tap firmly", I don't know. - Show the album art when playing from Spotify, if at all possible. Thanks for this app!

Please clarify what "Automatic Stop Extension" means. And I agree with the other reviewers that the album artwork should show for all services if possible, if not allow an option to turn this off and show more of the track information instead. Can you program it to open the music app when its not running on the phone if you press play? I've installed an app launcher to my watch to get around this problem. Great work, thank you!
