App working great. Have been using for quite some time. Just upgraded phone to Pixel 6 pro w/ Android 12. I noticed that the icon in the notification shade is the standard bell 🔔. I know this is an Android limitation but if the icon could be changed so that it is distinguishable from other notifications that would be great. Notification shade icons are all basic B&W but some apps do have a unique icon.
Having trouble changing the notification sounds. Samsung Galaxy S21+. Any time I try to "set sound" it crashes the app. I've tried every sound. Can only use "default" sound which is actually the default phone sound, not the old NYC Fire Wore default sound (MDT Ring). Any ideas?
Its a really good app, but you have to pay 6 bucks a month to make the most of it. The ads cover the bottom third of the screen. When you try to "X" out the ad you end up clicking the ad instead. I know theres no such thing as a free lunch but I'm not that much of a spanker to be needing this app. Good luck with this endeavour!
app was great before the update, now with the update im unable to read any comments. also, very difficult to scroll thru the posts.
App constantly gives error messege. Take 5 attempts to open it. Constantly send feedback but the developers have yet to fix any bugs. Glad I dont pay for it
