Some Notes:
There is about a second to register your waves.
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
Works with any player that accepts headset (media button) controls If the screen is off or another app is in focus, phone vibrates 1x on pause control and 2x on resume controls
Practice your wave techniques in the “Last Action” If you’re getting another player responding to the commands, check if that app has the option to disable headset button controls
**IMPORTANT**
The sensor will behave differently on different phones. I don’t have the resources to have a many phones around to test on. If there is a problem with the app, please email me at marksthinktank@gmail.com and give me a chance to figure it out before leaving a bad review! And… there is a chance this app may not be compatible with your phone.. sorry. I’ll do my best to keep the compatibility list up to date so future users won’t run into issues.
