Player Compatibility List: Any Music/Streaming/Video app that supports "Headset Controls"
Easy to use, just wave your hand over the sensor (usually located just next to the earpiece on your phone). Holding it there (hover) - Pause/Resume One wave across - Next Song Two waves across - Previous Song Three times - Enable/Disable the controls
*Be sure to enable Headset Button Control in your player of choice
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 1 second delay before another gesture will be registered Practice your wave techniques by checking the "Last Action" 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 to test every phone. If there is a problem, please email me at marksthinktank@gmail.com and give me a chance to figure it out before leaving a bad review!
Incompatibility List: *HTC EVO 4G (erratic sensor reading cause commands to trigger on their own)

Hands Free Music Control Had this on an S3, still runs great on a Note 3. One issue. The S3 had a basic proximity sensor and detected gestures through the number of waves. The Note 3 has a Directional proximity sensor and the app reflects this by listening instead to the direction of the wave. Why not both?
★★★★★
Excellent app Works flawlessly on my device. I hope to see more gestures in the future. Very excited to see developers embracing gesture control...it's the future of input.
★★★★★
Great app but Auto stops sometimes. Also would be great to have the thumper. Include that in the next update and fix auto stop and I will rate with 5 stars.
