Pressy - The Almighty Button!

Should have gotten a cheaper alternative so I didn't waste 20 +bucks. Phone thought pressy was a headphone jack so had to take out for EVERY call, not ideal with case. Videos recorded had no audio. I now have an awesome silent video surprising my kids of a Disney trip. Talk about an irreplacable moment. Emailed Pressy and got dead air. Save your money and frustration.

Was an original Kickstarter backer. The pressy never worked right on my previous 3 phones. Audio problems, microphone problems. Recognition problems. I try it again every year or so after an update or new phone. It finally seems to work OK on an s7edge with Nougat.

The app sucks, it works only half the time with registering wrong key presses and other times taking nearly 10 seconds to register the command. It also mutes all game audio on the LG V10 with no way of unmuting it to hear the game...so pressy plugged in = muted games.

This has evidently been abandoned. Doesn't work and no reply from support or developers. Package says works on all nexus devices. Definitely doesn't work on Nexus 6P. It actually worked with the Pixel but there are so many annoyances with this device.... Just not worth it. What a waste of time. Uninstalled and thrown in the drawer of failures. This is a true Failure on every level. App, support and use. Packaging was ok. That's it!!!

I was an original backer of Pressy, but then gave up on it. At the time I thought it was my phone, so I waited until I got a new device. Well, it wasn't the phone. After setting everything up and having selected eight different shortcuts, I did what I always did at night: turned off my phone. This morning, when I tried to use Pressy, it acted as though it wasn't there, and reinserting it into the device made no difference (something that should not be required). Uninstalling. 0 Stars.

What a waste. I was an original kickstarter backer and just recently found my pressy. I thought I would give it another shot. I tried to set it up 3 times and it kept saying that the button was pressed when I installed it. The 4th time I put the pressy in my headphone jack it broke :(

I don't write reviews very often on here, but this time I have to. This is a great tool that is ruined by its software. Everything works great on the HTC 10 unless you have a smart watch. This thing generates a notification on the watch that cannot be blocked and flickers nonstop. It will drain your battery before you know it. It's a horrible glitch that will not be fixed. It's been an issue for a long time. If you have an android wear, DO NOT BUY.

I've purchased 3 pressy devices, one as a gift. The first one lost the ability to click/press and the button of the second device fell off entirely. This is a great idea in theory but the build quality is worse than Chinese.

I dont know why everyone complain about app. Command doesn't happen immediately. Doesn't work at all and lagging. Honor 6

Sometimes press won't activate until screen is turned on. Is this a problem with doze?

Recently just stopped taking pictures with my default camera app... Samsung galaxy s5... otherwise it's a solid 4 star product imo...

Loved it for my Note 3 but just upgraded to the LG V20 and it thinks headphones are plugged in always. Probably not compatible with Android 7 (Nougat).

Good luck getting the software to work. After install, you need to get an activation code, or QR image on the packing by buying there original device, or request it sent to your email...wait a few days or email them again for it. Or the software doesn't work with other-brand jack plugs, making the device do whatever it's supposed to do. I want something that can be installed when I buy it, and an app that works after it's downloaded. This will never make it because of that hurdle. Most reports stated that all the other software versions, and even this one don't work consistently, or with speed, so don't even waste your time on this half-cooked technology. I originally bought one of these plugs just to keep the dust out, but inserting anything into your headphone jack hole also prevents calls from being heard, or them hearing you. Bad design. The only way to do that is to buy a case with a built-in silicone flap, or place some electrical tape over it.

It repeatedly mistakenly thinks that I pressed the button when I inserted the damn thing and then refuses to work.

Unfortunately no one will read this until AFTER purchasing the hardware. Developers...If you have to train people how to press a button you need to reinvestigate your options. Also alters settings not even associated with the app on button press.

When inserted into the phone it interfered with my reception! I have sent numerous bug reports and asked for help but no reply! NADA! So when out shopping had a phone call and I've now lost my Pressy, not happy

Right after start, it wants me to register with my email address. I don't like that. Then, it provides a tiny qr code and asks me to scan it. How am I going to do that? I cannot use my phone to scan my phone's own screen. This is totally dumb. Uninstall and forget

First had no code and they sent me one love this so much just can't tell love you pressy

Works half of the time. Often enough to give you hope but fails so often it is frustrating.

Why do I need a new activation code whenever I replace my phone? Other than that the item works great the app when activated is good but a pia to activate

Breaks and won't work again after removing. *************************The app works if you follow the set up directions. The camera takes about 5 seconds to launch...could be faster. I was really looking forward to push to talk. I saw that viber is one of the partners but I don't see a way to enable one-button push to talk. That would be great. It would also be great to launch app actions instead of the main app (see Nova launcher actions or more shortcuts or quick shortcut maker). Pretty good for early on.

"Unbox Therapy" under-sold this device. Blackberry Priv has the ability to program 26(*2) shortcuts using the physical keyboard but I still chose Pressy in hopes of having a flashlight toggle. When using YouTube or local media, the phone still plays music through the front facing speaker even though the device has something plugged into the headphone jack. Which normally would mute external speakers. I took a chance and must say I'm quite content and will be buying more as gifts.

After being disappointed, I gave up on Pressy. But, I decided to give it another chance. Again, disappointed...and done. (ORIGINAL FEEDBACK: I was an extremely patient backer. I even bought 3. But, enough is enough. Has never worked properly on any of my 7 (now 8) devices. I'm done. UNINSTALLED.)

I'm finding a little too much lag between when I press the button and when it does something. On my HTC one m9 I find the button sticks out too far. Overall I like it for getting to apps really quickly when my screen is off.

If insert by accidentally pressed the button the app doesn't recognize. Slowly insert without pressing the button, the pop up to show whether or not is pressy or headphone doesn't appear at all.

Nifty idea but even on the galaxy S7 the delay is horrible it's faster to just use the phone. Whenever I use it I end up triggering a different action too. Waste of money.

I love it. It does so much. But not anymore that an NFC app. I still have to root my phone to get the app to do things such as toggling Airplane mode. However, My biggest gripes are that I can't get the button out without losing the button (I have arthritis in my hands), then have to scrambled to find it; and I have a hard time getting it into the jack without pushing the button. Oh, to be young again.

Used this on two different handsets, HTC one and Sony xperia Z3 compact. The more complex the press sequence the more problematic. Fix the lag issues and it'll be 5 stars.

The app does nothing. When I press on the button, the phone vibrates, but that's all it does. The app somehow recognizes that the button is being pressed, but none of the tasks I've saved go off. No Flashlight, no foursquare checkin, no apps opening. The only thing it does is randomly changing the volume (and that's not a rule I've set!).

Deal-breaker for me and phone is not being able to answer and initiate calls using a speaker with a physical button. This was finally a solution although I needed the soundabout app to really make it work

I have tried this on 3 different phones and there always issues. On 3 different watches there is permanent pause button on the face that you can't get rid of. I can't figure out how to put the pressy into the headphone jack without pushing the button. Poor design. Over a good idea with subpar execution. Deleting this app for the 4th and final time.

I dont know why everyone complain about app. Command doesn't happen immediately. Doesn't work at all and lagging. Honor 6

doesnt seemed to work on Android 6 on LGV10, reinstalled app and phone is still muted

It works well enough. The flashlight takes a while to turn on from one press which kind of defeats the point, but, whatever. Camera opens nicely on a double press.

I was excited in getting pressy,but very disappointed with the lag. I really hope they resolve this issue as I feel like I've just wasted my money. Running on Nexus 5X.

Does not work on my 6p. This is not worth the money. The Mi from AliExpress cost about $5 and works better.

One minor complaint keeping from a 5 star rating... The app doesn't run persistently, meaning that if I hit "close all apps", the Pressy hardware doesn't work as intended until I reopen the Pressy app. Minor annoyance, should be an easy fix.

The options are very limited and the Pressy and app is borderline useless. Everything you can currently do with this set up, you can do with your phones current hardware buttons and free or cheap apps. If more and better options become available within the app as well specialty options for us with ROOT, I'll change my rating. Until then 1 star. UPDATE (8/4/16): I decided to retry Pressy. My issue this time is a bug. It makes my HTC 10's proximity sensor black out my screen while not even in the phone app.

Pressy is still not compatible with Android Marshmallow even after supposed "update". Hopefully the developers are still committed to this product.

Only detects a single short click, not 2 or 3.
