## Review summary

User feedback centers on reliability and maintenance issues. The app frequently crashes on launch or stops working, and its background service drains battery. Many reviews say the product is abandoned or rarely updated, causing ongoing compatibility problems across devices (Android Pie, Huawei/Honor) and with peripherals like Outlier headphones. Some functionality is no longer accessible or reliable. Despite praise for an equalizer and sound customization, the overall sentiment is that the app’s reliability and ongoing support are severely lacking.
