Works very well! I had tried another similar app that worked about half the time but so far with this one, I'm having great success. The notification always comes on as soon as I plug in my earbuds. Using on a Samsung Galaxy S10+ fyi. Great for that moment when you suddenly get worried that everyone can hear what you're listening to lol. Thanks!
