## Review summary

Reviews are mixed. Many users report the app fixes headset recognition and allows audio to route through the speaker when the headset indicator stays on, with expressions of gratitude. However, a substantial number say it does not work at all or stops functioning after upgrades, indicating inconsistency across devices. Overall, the app can solve headset detection for some users but is not reliably effective for all.

### Pros

- Restores headset/earphone recognition on devices that fail to detect earphones
- Fixes audio routing so ring tones can be heard through the speaker even when the headset indicator remains on
- Viewed as helpful by many users and eliciting gratitude (e.g., 'thank you', 'Absolute legend')
- Works for some devices to fix headset detection issues

### Cons

- Not working for some users; reports of 'does not work', 'useless', or 'not working after upgrade'
- Results are inconsistent across devices/firmware; some fail after updates
