Ratings and reviews

The app seems very nice. But I have some problems with speak-to-chat function, on mine new sony wf-1000xm5 headphones. As soon the function activates, when I'm talking. It deactivates voice-passtrough function for some reason? This is very annoying. Because I can't hear others talking, as clearly, without this function. When I deactivate noise canceling manually though, through tapping on my headphones. The voice-through functions without problems. It must be som Bug?

Terrible! Can't disable the annoying voice that informs me that I started the headphones and automatically enables the function that stops the music when I sing along Edit: one year later and it's now even worse. Every time the app updates, it turns the "feature" speak to chat on. Which means that randomly the headphones just turns quiet when I start humming the song

Great app but there are a few annoying things. First off it crashes everytime the first time I open it, even though it works fine when I reopen it it's annoying. Then I'd like more options for the touch controls, I'd like to costumize every touch, not just choose one of the few finished options you have. Third I'd like a small widget with the ambient sound scale since I don’t like the automatic adjustment option but still want to easily cancel noise out or hear voices.
