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. Free features support 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.
