### A Note from the Dev (FAQ & Troubleshooting)

Hey there! I want this app to be as useful as possible, but because we are working with classic Pebble firmware, there are a few platform limitations I can't bypass. Here is what you need to know:

**Q: Does this work on iPhone / iOS?**
* **A:** Sadly, no. I would love to bring this to iOS, but Apple's strict background and browser limitations completely block the app from triggering the audio. It is currently strictly for Android.

**Q: My watch is buzzing, but the phone is completely silent. Help?**
* **A:** Double-check your phone's **media volume**! The app triggers audio through your phone's standard media channel. If your media slider is turned all the way down or muted, the sound won't come through.

**Q: Can you make the app automatically turn up my phone's volume or override silent mode?**
* **A:** Man, I really wish I could! This is the number one feature I want to add. I actually pushed for an official change to the SDK so app developers could control phone volume, but the system firmware just doesn't support that level of access control right now. If the platform team ever opens up that door, I'll be the first to implement it! Until then, we just have to wait and see.
