Annouce: Squeeze Control is now available as a UWP app for Windows 10.

Squeeze Control is now a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app for Windows 10.

This is also the support thread for this app, but only for the UWP version. For questions about the previous version, go here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showth...indows-Phone-8


Existing users on Windows 10 should be able update already, but the store listing is still pending.


This was developed with both the phone and the desktop mind. On the desktop, mouse control is fully supported and to a certain extent keyboard controls too.

There are no device type restrictions on the package and so should work on all Windows 10 devices where apps can be used. I've marked it in the Windows Store as being available to all existing device types including "Holographic" devices (the HoloLens I guess*) and any future device types that Microsoft deems compatible (hopefully the Xbox One).

This version has all the same features as the existing Windows Phone 8 version except that it can no longer run under the lockscreen or change the lockscreen picture (API no longer allows it). It also includes some tweaks to bring it closer to parity with the Android version.

There are two significant changes:

First, the header and footer control bars of the previous version have now switched places. This is how I wanted the Windows Phone 8 version to look, but wasn't able to do so due to limitations of that platform.

Second, song downloading is now more flexible. Not only can you select the download folder, but the entire download queue can run completely in the background without the app being open.



*I don't have a HoloLens, so if anyone tries this on one, I would love to hear about it.
