Comments on Media Button Interceptor for Android

★★★★★ Would it be possible to configure device keys (such as my phones PTT key!)? :)
★★★★★ Great, but I am fighting with audio focus. I have one music player app and it takes audio focus different (better) way than this app. Is it possible to solve if you are still active?
★★☆☆☆ doesnt do anything with my tws even when recognising play pause!! no pre sets either useless...
★★☆☆☆ clear as mud
★★☆☆☆ Horrid UI. Makes you script everything yourself in ancient Klingon jargon. Unusable to anyone without 8 week coding boot camp training.
★★☆☆☆ Guys from Netflix greenlighting everything
