User reviews
Works like a charm.
Lots of uses
Hi cynax I use this while we listen to Spotify with a Bluetooth a2dp speaker would it be posible to silent the background music on Spotify when the chimes activate it self and continue to play once done
Day 1, I like this app. Very clean and easy to understand. I only wish the pro version was a one time purchase vs another subscription. The bright side is the free version is still usefull and gives an idea what can be done.
I can't fault this app. It's absolutely reliable.
