### 5/5 — I rated it a five just so y’all know the down sides. (2 stars)

*2026-07-14, version 4.2*

I rated this three stars because it is a good app just I can only turn it up and down but it doesn’t even work for me although it said it connected it didn’t turn up or turn down and after 3-5 times I pressed it, it asked me to get the premium when I can’t, and I might be doing something wrong with it only being able to turn it up and down I should probably rate it a 2
