Overlay Customer Insights

1. I figured it might be if I had the overlay button at the border of screen, and moving finger out of screen lost the "touch end" event somehow, but that was not the case, i moved the icon more to the center.

2. Hasn't been updated in 6 years loltoggle button does not workvery good apphow do you Toggle this button?Really cool App and helpful when playing Ingress.

3. One is the already mentioned thing, the overlay button seems to randomly disappear and then appear again.

4. This might be simply that in addition to listening to "touch end" you need to listen to "touch out" or if even that gets lost on some android versions, you need to poll if the finger still even is there.

5. A worse thing is that sometimes the mic button stays depressed even when i move my finger out of it or stop touching.

6. Would be nice if a keypress could be bind to the overlay button, so a bluetooth button etc.

7. Needs an update for Android 11 support.How can I make your app launch on startup? Because I have to turn the overlay back on each time I reboot.

8. Very annoying and distractingQuite a nice app, works well in the absence of an external mic button.

9. A second's timer would be sufficient to detect there is no finger (anywhere on the screen!) anymore.

10. I used to use this all the time on fielding ops, but have not been able to since upgrading to the Samsung S9+, and I am currently running 8.0 Oreo.

11. Before finally being able to upgrade to this phone, the app worked flawlessly on my Moto Droid 2 Turbo.This app is AWESOME.
