Comments on Skip Track - Volume Buttons for Android
★★★★★Paul P· May 9, 2023
Perfect app, exactly what I needed, works with screen off with NO ROOT 10/10
★★★★★Karthik P· Jun 18, 2023
Does the job without accessibility permission or any other special permissions. Turn off battery optimization for this app.
★★★★☆Phred Lane (fearphage)· Dec 18, 2022
Solid app, but I wished it supported long presses instead of double taps.
★★★★☆Noel Filatov AV· Jul 15, 2022
Best free app for skipping tracks while riding. Others have some limitations like pro versions or screen must be always ON to work etc. Volumee was my favorite till Android update messed it up. This one and many like this won't work when volume is full up or down. But can live with it.
★★☆☆☆Private Private· Sep 19, 2023
Does what it claims, but can't tell the difference between pressing the volume buttons multiple times and just changing the volume; for example, adjusting the volume using the on-screen slider will result in the track skipping multiple times
★☆☆☆☆Ronald Chan· Jul 15, 2024
WHY THERE IS NO "PLAY/PAUSE" FOR DISPLAY OFF (ONLY "PAUSE")? NONSENSE.
★★☆☆☆green pale· Jan 2, 2025
Seems ok, but limited to customize volume up button only
★☆☆☆☆Kei N· Feb 8, 2023
Frequently stops working for no clear reason. I keep it enabled, updated, and will have the program running in the background, but none of that makes a difference as it will invariably just stop working without warning after a certain amount of time.
