Something that finally woks with slacker radio Okay so I normally don't do this. But I have been looking for a track control app that let's me skip tracks for slacker radio while it is holsters or in my pocket. I drive a motorcycle and it is unsafe to have to unlock my phone to skip tracks. This is the only app that will allow me to do this. Galaxy s6 active

N7 player Works great on Google Play music. But does not work with every music player... the n7 player is one of my favorite music players but the only thing I can manage to do is pause/play, any other gesture doesn't work or immediately pauses when I attempt do go to a previous song.

Mustafa Fürkan

Very good but Why it is not working at horizontal position like put on desk? It needs little aim for to work that I experienced. For me it works at all positions except on table lying horizontally. It starts to work again when I put a thing under phone for little angle.

Way to sensitive! 0% and 100% are the same. I have mine set to 0% and the songs skip just from me typing on my Samsung Galaxy S5. I loved this app on my iPhone (but hated my iPhone). I would love to LOVE this app again on my SGS5. Please fix the sensitivity settings... Please, please, please!?

Alexander mosoe

This app is really annoying because it's way too sensitive on the screen, even with 5% sensitivity. It pauses whenever I type on the keyboard and such. If there would be a way to toggle the front then this app would be wonderful

Étienne Danton

Suggestions The sensitivity is indeed a bit of a problem. When I put the phone on the desk for example, tipSkip recognises nearly always a gesture. I don't know how you coded the recognition, but maybe you can change something so it recognises if it's a softer knock, like with a finger rather than a hard knock when you put the phone on a hard surface. Also it would be better if skipping the track doesn't neccessarily unpause the playback. Because if you have the playback on pause for a reason and the skip gesture gets triggered accidentally, it causes embarrassing situations. For example when you put your phone on the shelf in the cinema. Best behaviour would be to just ignore any gesture when the playback is paused and just the skip track gesture is active. Also it would be nice, if tipSkip could recognise if no player is running and then it shuts itself off. And the other way around. I don't know if this is actually possible to code. If it is, just add a possibility to switch that feature on and off in the settings. Also a Widget would be nice to quickly switch tipSkip on and off. Especially if you can't solve the issue with the sensitivity or unpausing when the next-gesture is triggered.

When I use it while riding on motorcycle. Due to shock its just skipping tracks everytime by itself. Even I adjust the sensitivity in settings. It does not work well while riding.

Chad Johnson April 18, 2016

can't even try it. you want people to buy your app, but won't let them choose what app to try it with. not everyone uses Google music. I might of bought it, but not when I can't even try It...

Musicboysince1999 February 17, 2016

Not bad I agree with all the other ratings, but I have given it 5star because this is something innovative and new, and there is no other app that can assure this. Loved the method it can be made better and more innovative but keep making it better people

Francisco Pulido Garces June 18, 2017

I saw the version 2 update is already out on iPhone. Don't you dare abandon this! I paid for it.

Simon McLaughlin January 24, 2017

Can't test, forced to buy if I want to see if it works with spotify

April 30, 2017

Works as advertised

Mahesh Raj July 9, 2015

Great app team

jorge villarreal April 3, 2017

Love it

Josh Miller November 9, 2013

Horrible sensitivity 100% and 0% are exactly the same. If it's in my pocket, it keeps randomly changing songs. And when I tap it to change songs, it only works half the time. Detection is absolutely horrible. Wouldn't waste my time if they don't fix it

BusyBytes GmbH November 13, 2013

Thanks for Feedback we will check this Issue, It would be great if you could send us your Hardwaredetails via mail@busy-bytes.com

December 31, 2013

First amazing and then disappointing I was looking for a new way of changing songs and here it was. In my bed, when I'm lying down everything works fine, as it should, at any given sensitivity. But when I really need it, in my pocket when I'm walking down the street the songs keep rolling, every two steps I take. In short, the sensitivity is way too high making this software, for the moment, useless.

BusyBytes GmbH January 2, 2014

Thanks we work on that! If you want you can join our Beta-Test. So we can try to figure out how to solve this problem https://plus.google.com/communities/110294375957726896515

Daniel Pribula July 30, 2014

Will it work? Ok I see only google player... I won't pay unles I am 100% sure and satisfied that it is working. Uninstall.

Brandon Higgins May 7, 2014

Sensitivity doesn't work! Sensitivity level doesn't work making walking and jogging not work which makes it unusable. I want a refund.

Chris Locke July 19, 2014

Almost There! Desperately needs option to disable while the screen is on. App is a lot better than when I first tried to use it

Jovante Anderson October 22, 2014

Convenient BUT.... Handy but inaccurate at times. I would rather use more subtle methods like knocking with my fingernail.

nikola kolobok June 24, 2014

Need more configuration Very cool, but needs custom action configuration and option to enable/disable actions. There are accidental actions sometimes.

Ardhi Mohamad November 7, 2013

Helping Love it, really good app for music lover who's on the way... the only problem is, i don't think there's a different after adjusting the sensitivity, but overall keep up the good work!

Fábio Sousa September 14, 2014

Useless sensivity control I paid for it, but it's impossible to use in motorcycle riding. The sensivity control just doens't work. The app changes songs every time even at 1% sensivity.

Nazael Hernandez November 17, 2013

Not Working for S3 Its not working for my Samsung Galaxy S3, the app doesn't open.

BusyBytes GmbH October 10, 2013

Can you please mail us at mail@busy-bytes.com, we try to figure out what's wrong together

Shampy Kamal December 15, 2013

Awsome Wonderful app My s4 great job for this app

PUMAPBP March 6, 2014

Best musicapp ever created Awesome

Ragunathan Pattabiraman October 14, 2013

Awesome! What a great idea. Takes out all the pain in changing to next track in whatever you are doing driving, walking, lying down, etc. (No special permissions required, no ads, works great on my nexus 4)

Sourav Kings October 23, 2013

5 stars for amazing innovation Works like a breeze. And let me tell you I've never thought that hitting my office desk would change my track. Quiet superb, isn't it.

Adwait Dhole October 28, 2013

Amazing idea Its just amazing but doesnt work with screen locked hence not achieving the main purpose of using the app.

Matt Reese October 18, 2013

100% Amazing Genius already know this is going to be an every day app for me even works better then volume skip mod or apps!

Chao Liu October 18, 2013

Nice app but not working now Will crash on galaxy s3 plz fix

BusyBytes GmbH October 18, 2013

Can you please send us the crash report or contact us via mail? Does it crash directly when it starts or while running? Thanks in advance.

A Google User September 27, 2012

Good idea and good execution It does play music from my sd card immediately without me prompting it to. That could cause a problem in quiet places. You should add some diversionary with Pandora and other third party music players. You should also think about making a widget for it so that the toggle on and off is easier. Just in case I want to save battery and/or not have some random music play automatically.

A Google User August 20, 2012

Great idea Completely replaces the need for wired remote headphones, which don't appear to work on the Nexus 7 anyway. However, it does consume a lot of CPU and battery. It would be nice if you could kill it from within the app top save power when it's not in use.

mark richardson December 20, 2012

Brilliant idea After buying a set of HTC 3 button headphones just to get track skip and mic, this is a great idea as i want to upgrade my headphones just have to sort out what to do with regards answering calls?? could always ignore the call and sent it to voice mail.......

Muthu Kannan January 29, 2013

Great idea, unimpressive implementation If the app can differentiate between intentional knocks and unintentional moves, it'd work great. Now it skips tracks when I put the phone in my pocket or keep the phone on desk. That makes this app unusable.

Matt Muzerie January 15, 2013

not working? is there something I am doing wrong? I have this on my nexus 4 and galaxy sII, doesnt work at all. when the screen is on i see the "next" appear on the screen but it doesnt change tracks. I tried this with Google/Play Music and Spotify on both devices.

BusyBytes GmbH November 13, 2013

Does it work with the latest version? Please report bugs via mail@busy-bytes.com or per In-App Button.

A Google User August 9, 2012

Perfect! Coming from an iPhone, I missed being able to skip tracks while the screen was off, simply by double-tapping the home button. This is just what I was looking for. Thanks!

allan leitch January 3, 2013

Great Giving 4 stars just now as the idea is brilliant and does work very well but I think the sensitivity levels needs a tweek , I have it on 0% and it is still prone to skipping a track in my pocket on a gentle walk and it has a habit of starting a different media player by it's own accord than the one I am using , hope this feedback helps make it a much deserved 5 star

Raj Gupta November 30, 2012

Very bad TIPSKIP Bekar hai ek dum khali apple iphone ke lia hii accha android may to kam hii nhi krta TIPSKIP..
