This is worst app. First before downloading this app I was very excited to use this but when I downloaded this app it was not working, then I followed everything written there but still it was not working. Actually I don't want to give this app 1 star also but there is no option for 0 star if it would be there then I would chose 0 star only. This is the worst app I saw ever. Who is reading this comment before downloading/after downloanding I request them to not download this app and give 1 star.

I have the S10 an I don't know how to make to it work?? you would think it would work perfectly with the S10 camera right there in front of it? Maybe some app developer can make something happen with that camera right there in front looking at you at all times?...🤔 But yeah didn't work? IDK how to make it work or if I'm doing something wrong or something you guys should make a video on YouTube of how to make it work or how to activate her or something? Idk

Easy to use, just wave your hand over the sensor (usually located just next to the earpiece).
Holding it there (hover) - Pause/Resume
One wave across - Next Song
Two waves across - Previous Song

Be sure to enable Headset Button Control in your player of choice

Player Compatibility List:
Any Music app that supports "Headset Controls" includes all the most popular apps.

Some Notes:
Tip for the hover gesture: if you move your hand away too quickly it'll register a wave
After an action, there is a delay before another gesture will be registered
Practice your wave techniques in the "Last Action" section
If you're getting another player responding to the commands, use the Set Target Media App setting

*IMPORTANT*
The sensor WILL behave differently on different phones. I don't have the resources test on every phone. If there is a problem, please email me to give me a chance to fix it out before leaving a bad review!
