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.🤷‍♂️)

Exactly what I was looking for! Huge kudos to the developers for making something this practical. With just one tap, you can instantly mute any audio you do not want to hear. It is especially useful for Muslims who prefer to avoid music (it's haram) while watching videos. One tap and complete silence, simple and effective. The app works smoothly and has been great so far.

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.
