User reviews
Works as designed
A good app - developer replied quickly to an issue I was having and resolved it. Could use some usability improvements since it's an app with fairly complex functionality/options, but not a huge issue and a good problem to have. Thanks!
Worked beautifully to remap Bixby as flashlight on my S8+. Canada got the Bixby voice update a few days later though. Now I only turn it on to remap periodically.
It took 2 minutes to get rid of the pesky bixby thankyou
Loved it!!!
It did the job but Samsung have finally added the option in the O.S. Uninstalled.
