Ratings and reviews

Works well enough. Button is moveable but often not through out screen area and thus gets in the way. On mute, the underlining audio app is often paused unexpectedly. Landscape mode the mute button behaves erratically. Volume up and down buttons work. Occasionally, the buttons are stuck to screen and tied other apps. Cleared only by reboot. Occasionally, the button size option reverts to zero, and buttons disappear.

This is fantastic, especially once I learned how to make it transparent. Long press to hide so you can quickly get to screen "underneath" this apps buttons. Control menu is super confusing to me, hard to find the menu to change things, I'd prefer everything on one screen with smaller text than the enormous bars with 2 words in them. But once you get it sorted, this app has everything I want/need. Thanks!

I could not be more pleased with the product considering it's free to download. The visible volume icon is customizable allowing me to adjust the location, where I want it, the size of the icon, and the transparency, so that it's less noticable while using my phone. I can even hide the volume (+) and volume (-) portion of the icon and quicky press it only when I need to change the volume. I use a Blu G90 Android and so far the always visible icon is not in the way of using most apps.
