User Reviews

Users praise the app for watch-controlled, media-focused functionality and overall usefulness, with easy setup and good cross-device compatibility. However, they frequently complain about heavy battery drain, stability issues after OS updates, privacy concerns, and unintended DND toggling. Some request improved reliability, expanded DND scheduling, and more predictable behavior.

Cons

Do Not Disturb toggling automatically and limited DND scheduling
