### 2/5 — Back button

### 4/5 — JsWalk

*2017-10-29*

Good app would give a 5 if easier to use like when starting workout having music start simultaneously and when finish have  stop button and have music stop.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for taking the time to give us our 1st review :) 
We appreciate your comments and understand your points. We have planned for a future release to include user selectable options for music auto start/pause as you mentioned.  There are more features in the pipe line too which we believe will further enhance the user experience. So stay tuned with us, we promise you won’t be disappointed with what’s coming up next.
Thanks, jS Walk Team
