With just an Android phone or tablet, or even a Chromebook that supports the Google Play Store, you can create and run simple sound designs for theater, dance, and other live shows. It can also be used by yoga teachers, massage therapists, or anyone else who wants to create and run playlists of music and other sound effects.

New release, February 2023
Audio cues have two new properties. The new "Stop at" property stops a cue at a selected timestamp. The new "Fade out" property fades an audio cue's volume down to 0 over the selected number of seconds, starting that many seconds before the cue stops.
When a Fade cue is running, an up or down arrow icon appears to indicate the fade direction.
Fade cue buttons have a new icon in Run and Unlocked modes showing up and down arrows.
