Negative stars if possible you have to pay to use volume just volume
★☆☆☆☆Shawn· Sep 2, 2026
Wow. You know the focus is about money when the app pushes you to pay $45 a year, and you haven't even had a chance to test it. Plus almost all the controls are locked unless you subscribe and pay. And it found my device but didn't do anything. Omg lol
