Let me know what you think 🙂 It’s one of those really useful, must-have kind of apps that you wonder how you ever lived without.

4/5 Would download again. Pop sound could be poppier, seems a little blatty to me. Works fine in 3.2 on an Eee Pad Transformer.

Maybe add it as an option that the user can check/uncheck from a menu.
