Tip for the hover gesture: if you move your hand away too quickly it'll register a wave
After an action, there is a delay before another gesture will be registered

    This is awesome. I do agree about being able to access speaker phone but other than that.. I am really happy with the app.

    Song gesture its perfect, but I want something about phone answer gesture. If you make this app enable speaker after answering by gesture, 5 Stars is your.
