User reviews

Very useful and works great!

This app is very useful for my roadster that doesn’t have any speed control for the audio. The only thing I would really like would be a Suspend/Pause button to make the app not change the volume for a while when I want to control it manually. For now I just close the app and reopen it later.

Works exactly as you’d hope it would!

Works great! My only questions are how to access the automatic mode that others are mentioning, and what is the purpose of the reset “switch”?

Only things I’d love to see would be the ability create your own volume curve, and to increase the n= so it’s a more smooth transition (though I know that would cause the volume indicator to pop up more frequently, so maybe let the user define n based on their preferences?)

Useless

Doesn’t work, no instructions as to what the settings mean. Waste of time

Snowmobile experience

Enhance the experience by listening music while in snowmobile. Sounds drop automatically when you stop and need to talk to friends. Make sure you charge your phone! Thanks to developers

Works

Works great, any idea how to switch between km and mph? Doesn’t show in the presets.
