About this app

Control your Spotify or Google Play Music session without taking the phone from your pocket! Just double-knock the back of your phone to skip a track. This capability comes in very handy when listening to music while doing sports.

Maybe some tracks on your current playlists don't match your mood during today’s exercise. Just double-knock your phone to skip those. Additionally, KnockIt brings a boost to Spotify / Google Play music radio channels as you can easily skip the tracks you don’t like.

Instructions for use:
- Launch KnockIt and select your music player (Spotify or Google Play Music) in Settings.
- Leave KnockIt on background - do not press Quit.
- Start Spotify / Google Play Music playlist or radio channel.
- Double-knock the back of your phone to skip a song.

KnockIt uses your phone’s accelerometer for recognizing the knocks.
The knock detection algorithm has been tested to work with sports such as running and cross country skiing, and there is a good tolerance against false knocks. Depending on your phone model and your favourite sport, you may need to tune the knock detection threshold in Settings.

Listening to the accelerometer consumes a small amount of power (which, for example with Samsung S4 mini seems to be very minimal in practice). However, to save battery, you should quit the program when you don't use it.

KnockIt has been Tested with:
- Samsung S4 mini + Spotify premium
- Samsung S4 mini + Google Play Music
- Sony Xperia Z5 compact + Spotify free
- Sony Xperia Z3 compact + Spotify premium

DISCLAIMER: Please do not knock too hard - the author of this application is not responsible for any damage made to your phone.
