User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's ability to customize sound profiles and button functions, enhancing headphone usage and auditory experience. However, multiple reviews highlight persistent connectivity failures, with the app struggling to reliably pair with devices. Settings often reset unexpectedly, forcing users to repeatedly reconfigure their earbuds. The app's demand for precise location permissions is unpopular, and forced firmware updates can be lengthy and problematic. Additionally, personalized sound and button customization features require the app to be open and do not always persist, causing frustration.

Pros

Allows personal sound customization which some users find improves their hearing experience.
Works well with some headphones models providing good sound quality.
Provides options for customizing button configurations on earbuds.
Includes features like equalizer and ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) for enhanced audio experience.
App support and customer service has engaged with users to try resolving issues.

Cons

Frequent connectivity and pairing failures with headphones, often not recognizing or connecting properly.
Settings such as button configurations and EQ profiles frequently reset or are forgotten when the app closes.
App requires location permissions and precise location, causing usability issues and privacy concerns.
Forced firmware updates take long and often fail, sometimes causing earbuds to malfunction temporarily.
The app often requires to be running in the foreground for features like personalized sound and button settings to work; they don't persist otherwise.

You should add a maximum crusher voice prompt as I keep having to increase it in small increments every time. Also can you update it so that it auto shuts off its annoying.
