What are users saying about Headset Menu

Z70%

Kind of froze while messing with settings. This would be more useful if it had bluetooth headset battery info as well.

Z70%
by Z####:

Used to work great with my LG G5 and V10. I don't think it's updated for Android 7. The menu would display when a device is connected but the icons would not work. Hopefully it will get fixed

Please make app more responsive and user friendly.

Widget disappears periodically, please fix

T70%
by T####:

This is just one more thing to be in the way on top of the things I want to get to

I70%
by I####:

Works great! One minor thing: for some reason, every time I connect my headset, the volume of the alarm gets lowered as well (which results in me not hearing it in the morning...). Any workaround to avoid this?

U70%
by U####:

This was perfect before the update. Now the volume setting doesn't work and it doesn't open the apps anyway. So, basically a waste of space on the phone.

P70%
by P####:

I used this for a very long time and it works perfectly. It even lets you customize the icons to match your icon pack

This app is amazing, I just can't believe that is free..

T70%
by T####:

I loved the option of having shortcuts in my notifications in my previous Samsung phones when I plugged in my earphones, but I have an LG phone now. This gives me the option to have my shortcuts again.

Useful app

I am older so technology doesn't come easy, didn't understand it couldn't see how it help.

X70%

Dunno why this is missing on Galaxy S6 (it was on S4/S5) but this brings it back bigger and BETTER.

Yes.

Great idea and it works wonderfully. Puts power back in the hand of users.

D70%
by D####:

I was irriated by the useless conent of the recommended apps bar and inability to edit it. DIsablling it and using this apps makes me happy again.

P70%
by P####:

Lolipop update screwed up my old preferences for what apps I used in the notification window when connected to headphones on my Note 3. So this app fixed that issue and I couldn't be happier.

H70%
by H####:

Just installed and its doing its job so great.

N70%
by N####:

It has sorted out the default music app issue for my Sony Bluetooth Headset. This app launches my favourite music player Spotify when I start SBH50 now. Thanks. Is it possible to start a predefined playlist/ album/ song/ radio?

U70%
by U####:

It solves a problem I was looking to fix and it does it elegantly.

K70%
by K####:

I think it'd be good to have an option where the widget or maybe shortcut icons floated above other apps such as navigation when attached to Bluetooth device.

H70%
by H####:

This combined with removing the notifications that is preloaded is awesome.

C70%
by C####:

This app was useful while it worked but now it constantly crashes.

C70%
by C####:

This app has never crashed for me, and I love how customizable and useful it is.

C70%
by C####:

Didn't realize how much I relied on this until it broke. Contacted Dev and he resolved the issue quickly. This is a great app for people who use their phones in the car for GPS/music. Makes it easy to switch between apps and keep my eyes on the road.

D70%
by D####:

Easy to use when driving!

U70%

Its easy to use

D70%
by D####:

Even tho only 6 apps allowed .+10 stars in my book cuz can add any app& use icon pack seperate of launcher using icon pack.

C70%
by C####:

I like the functionality of this. Was able to do something similar with another app, but I really like being able to choose the list of apps to pop up when headset is plugged in.

N70%
by N####:

While this is a stock feature of on my note 2, I use Nova launcher so this brings it back!
