Volumee - skip tracks

About this app

Volumee lets you skip tracks while listening to music - you just need to hold down the volume button.

The application is able to work both while the screen is on and off. In contrast to other similar tools, it works properly regardless of the application that is currently open.

Volumee is compatible with all the most popular music apps - a track will be skipped in the player which is currently active. The service works in background, responding to volume buttons clicks only when it is needed (i.e. when any recognized player is displaying a notification). Otherwise volume buttons work as usual.

The application uses the "Accessibility service" to operate. It can help the visually impaired users - they can skip tracks in their favorite player without looking at the screen.

No personal data are collected (more details can be found in Privacy Policy). The application has no dedicated backend server.

*** IMPORTANT ***
Starting from Android 12, Volumee requires Always On Display (always show time and date) option to be enabled in order to operate when the screen is OFF.
Unfortunately, Android 12 was releases with a bug and currently it does not behave as its documentation says.
The problem was reported to Google - let's hope they will fix it in the next Android version.
This is the only workaround which allows to continue using Volumee. Please be aware it might not work on some devices.

Ratings and reviews

I agree with the last review. It install a phantom media player app that you can't uninstall. So if you're wearing a smartwatch, you will lose the media control functionality on your smartwatch because it wants to control Volumee instead. Can not uninstall. I wrote the developer twice with no response. No not install unless you want to lose functionality on your smartwatch.

When it works, it works great! I'm on Android 11 however, so thanks to Google making everyone else's lives harder, it works sporadically at best. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is causing it to not skip songs at all, and I'm running Poweramp with a lot of tweaks which probably has something to do with it.

I love this app, truly I do. The only thing I wish were different were the pro subscription... I refuse to pay more then once for an app because I've spent a lot of money on ones that are always filled with empty promises, which disappear along with the apps updates eventually, etc. I would GLADLY pay a standard one off fee for the premium version, if for nothing else just to support the developer. Unfortunately though I don't go near subscriptions. ☹️
