Inspirierend

Gives my Apple Watch a new life!

Does what it says

Does what it says but im no big fan of motion control but if you like that sort of thin* give it five stars

Huge battery drain even when not used

App works great so far but it always runs in the background. I’ve wondered why my phone suddenly only lasts half a day even without any use. Midi Motion is responsible for about 56% of usage according to my system settings.
