Description
Warning: This is heavy on the battery! Please use a car charger.If you're having trouble with the app not running when your screen is off, please see here: https://dontkillmyapp.com/
Speed of Sound automatically adjusts your music player's volume while you're driving about with your GPS, lowering the volume while driving slowly or at a stoplight, and cranking it up on the highway. This is a feature available in some more expensive cars and sound systems. We're giving it to you for free to use on your phone. Just start up your music player, plug your phone into your car stereo, and open Speed of Sound.
When you're done with your drive, you can take a look at a map of what songs you listened to and where. Don't worry about tagging that one song-you-can't-remember-the-name-of, just check the map afterwards.
Features
• Customizable volume levels and speeds
• Map of songs you listened to on your drive, compatible with Google Music, HTC/Samsung music players, WinAmp, and any player that supports Last.fm scrobbling
• Smooth volume adjustment
• Smart speed filter that avoids random GPS jumps
• Options to auto-activate when plugged into headphones, charger, selected Bluetooth devices, and when the app starts
• Tasker integration as an action
Disclaimer
While this app is great to use while driving, it's designed to keep your eyes on the road and not your phone/radio. So don't mess with this app or your phone at all while driving.

FAQ
• Can I use this with my car radio?
That's what it's for -- as long as you have an aux input and a decent cable to plug into your phone and radio, you're all set. If you don't have that, this won't be of much use unless you want to listen to music on your phone's awful speaker.
• What are some recommended settings?
The defaults that come with the application have been tested in the wild and have shown to work well. That said, everyone's tastes are different. We recommend choosing a slow and fast speed that aren't too far apart, because the effect is greater than you might think. Also, many phones get really quiet below a volume of 60, so pick volumes that are not too far apart.
• This drains my battery!
Yes, yes it does. Plug your phone into a charger while you drive.
• Why does my phone seem to "jump" between volume levels?
Unfortunately, this behavior shows up on many phones. We do our best to make volume changes smooth, but a lot of phones will only change the volume in increments of 5% or so. Not a whole lot we can do here, sorry.
• Where's the source?
The code is available under the GPLv2 on GitHub: https://github.com/jpeddicord/speedofsound
Feel free to fork, file bugs, or stare in awe.
Permissions
• Position & GPS - We sorta need this to know how fast you're going.
• Bluetooth - Used to auto-activate when you connect to a Bluetooth music player.
• Internet, Accounts, Network, External storage - All for Google Maps alone.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★After the Mar 6, 2016 update (allowing us to pick specific Bluetooth devices for activation) this app has become truly useful. It works exactly as expected.
4 ★If you could specify when it activates according to the bluetooth device it is connected, it would be a 5 star app. The plug in is a great idea, but it tends to close when launched via tasker. I'm running Marshmallow, so it may work on older versions of android.
5 ★Works great. The only issue which is not really a problem with the application but a limitation of Android is that volume increases in big steps, instead of gradually. To work around this, if you're phone is rooted, install xposed module VolumeSteps+ and set volume for music to 50.
5 ★I listen to music and podcasts everyday while driving and this app saves me from constantly adjusting my volume while traveling at different speeds. With a little tweaking, the app is nearly flawless!
5 ★5 stars for adding a Tasker plugin. I use it when I turn on my driving mode profile.
5 ★Great app that automatically adjusts volume based on speed.
5 ★Great app.
2 ★The app needs a persistent service. It disables itself anytime my phone sleeps or when it isn't in the foreground. And even sometimes when it's in the fg, screen on, and charging. I'm thinking the auto off function hasn't been fully explained? I'll be happy with a locale plug-in and a consistent user experience.
1 ★I travel to Sunnyvale, CA for my work so there is plenty of stop and go traffic along the way where a song doesn't need to be as loud as it was at 70mph. The problem is that this app doesn't seem to work well when it's not running in the foreground. Often I found that while it's resting on the dashboard mount that's out in the open for all satellites to reach it, I'd go to the app and see it's waiting for gps signal... and waiting.. and waiting.. Ended up uninstalling until it. I'll try again if I seen it gets updated. T-mobile HTC One, 4.3
4 ★I still wish I could set the speed-volume zones manually but the increase of max speed made the volume more consistent in my case. I don't have to set volume louder at 100 km/h so that it's loud enough at 140. It works great using automateit pro so I just have to turn on music and the rest works magically without any more setting up.
3 ★Music Volume gets louder when I slow down. It also causes my music to skip.
5 ★Just wish it had an auto start setting 4 when app 1st starts.
