Audio Cues is an Android app that works on phones and tablets, and on Chromebooks that support Google Play.
With just an Android phone or tablet, you can create and run simple sound designs for theater, dance, music, magic, and other live performance. It can also be used by yoga teachers, massage therapists, or anyone else who wants to create and run playlists of music and sound effects.
Audio Cues is available from Google Play as a free download. The free version allows up to 2 shows on each device and up to 10 cues per show. An in–app purchase adds support for Unlimited Shows and Cues.
Audio Cues can also be purchased from Amazon for use on Fire tablets. When purchased from Amazon, the app supports unlimited shows and cues without additional purchases required.
The app's first release was in November 2016, so Audio Cues is now 9 years old. Thank you to everyone who's used and supported the app over the years!
On Google Play, Audio Cues is free to download. The Unlimited Shows and Cues in–app purchase is priced at US $8.99 or local equivalent, plus sales tax or VAT as applicable.
On Amazon, Audio Cues is available for purchase at US $8.99 or local equivalent, plus sales tax or VAT as applicable.
Audio Cues includes integration with Flic Buttons. A Flic Button is a smart device that connects to other devices wirelessly via Bluetooth and can be used to trigger actions in apps that have Flic Button integration. See the User Guide to learn how to use Flic Buttons with Audio Cues.
Audio Cues supports five different kinds of cues:
AUDIO cues work with all standard audio file formats, including WAV, MP3, OGG, MPEG, and more.
FADE cues can change volume, pan from left to right.
STOP cues immediately stop the targeted audio cue.

GOTO cues go to a different cue and optionally play it immediately.
