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!

The app itself seems to work pretty well. My problem is that it doesn't work with my my music player. I know I'm gonna be the odd one out on here, but I use Apple Music and this app doesn't work in the slightest. I made sure I selected in as the app to control, but nothing. I'd probably buy the full version if it did.

Still no bluetooth support? After years of using this I really disapointed that you still not add the option to turn off apps after bluetooth headset disconnect. Great for car driving

Whenever I put the phone under the light and then put it face down it shuts down the player. And again doing the same resume the play.. remove that and everything is awesome..

On my old phone, I had an app that I loved to use for when I'm driving. Well, on this phone (droid turbo), couldn't find it but I found this. I had a little trouble calibrating at first but once you find the right speed to wave and you use that speed consistently, then it works. I haven't used for driving yet but when I cook, it is handy. I think that some may be saying its not working because of their phone but I dunno. I know it works for me.

Amazing. Not only is it useful, but now I have something to impress my friends, especially the iphone lovers who are always surprised at the innovative things android can do. This is also one of the only tools I've found that has media controls that actually work with Spotify, instead of just the built-in player.
