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!

1 ★ 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
4 ★ I have used this app before hence why I'm giving it 4 stars. The one thing holding it back is it doesn't seem to work with the S20 Ultras proximity sensor. Must be because its under the screen. People its not using your camera calm down
1 ★ Doesn't work the app read my action but it don't reply to it i mean when I wave 1 to change song the song doesn't changes but the app read my action plz fix it can be a great app if you fix these problems
4 ★ This app is good but WHY IT DOESN'T PLAY PREVIOUS MUSIC when given 2-WAVES stroke IN MX-PLAYER OPTION? It works all-fine with default music player but in mx player option the play-previous is not working. I always use mx player for audio and video both, so it's difficult for me to switch to default player. My android version is 7.1.2 NOUGAT Does anybody having the same problem with mx-player? Please Help.
1 ★ I really enjoyed using this app on Note 8, but now that I've switch to Note 10+, the app doesn't work. I've written several emails to the app developer but received no response. The developer notes to contact him before leaving a negative review on play store and I did exactly that. I would gladly change to 5 starts if it works on my new phone or if the developer contacted back.
3 ★ It's ok... But it only worked around 40% of the time. On youtube i would want to pause the video, instead it plays the next and soon after that, gestures wouldn't even work anymore. It was quite slow and i had to repeatedly disable and enable it on.
5 ★ So far works perfect on my ghetto SM-S357BL. I use it when I listen to music at work to switch songs without having to wash my hands. I will be upgrading soon to take full advantage of all the extra features and controls.
4 ★ App works great! Just a few tweaks and it's good to go! Great party trick too! Uhh... However it gets messy when you put it in your pocket ... Wish there was extra control over that, however I love this developer ! Great work
1 ★ it only choses few app from the phoen it self. 😞. it must allow the user to chose app from the list of all the aps in the phone. for example I wanted to use a counter app but the app did not allow me to chose my counter app because it did not show all the apps in my phone to chose from.
5 ★ Works perfectly on my Galaxy S9+ (android 10 one ui 2.0)
3 ★ Was 5 star but i had to uninstall and demote because it simply doesn't work with the newest version of android on my s9+. It loads up fine but it works when it feels like it.
3 ★ Nice concept but there is room for improvement
1 ★ It doesn't work properly. Half of the times the sensor doesn't work
1 ★ think that it is just an ad booster. cannot get it to "wave" until ads are played! waste of "wave"!
1 ★ I can't use it I wave my hands like what you said but nothing happen it only happen like two times when I randomly do something please fix it
