Ratings and reviews

This app puts a small icon on my screen. It gives size options, and lets me move it to a place of my choosing. When a commercial comes on I tap it, and the volume goes to zero. When I tap it again, it restores the volume. Simple. No ads. And I can move it off my screen if I want.

Does not work. I wanted to use this to mute things like YouTube without having to actually go to the volume controls. The music in some videos is annoying, for example, so I wanted to have a mute button for just while the annoying music played. There were no instructions for setting this up other than skewing it to draw over purge apps. So yes there was a visible mute button on the screen, but no it didn't mute anything.

Concept is great but mute button disappears too often. Whether it's a free streaming app like Xumo or a local TV app, change screens a couple of times and the button disappears. In apps like Dish everywhere you have to do several steps to exit Dish Everywhere, then get the button back, then several more steps to return to Dish. Mute button should be more resilient.
