Audio Cues is designed for live performance. With just an Android phone or tablet or a Chromebook that supports Google Play, you can create and run simple audio designs for theatre, dance, and other live entertainment. Backing tracks for musicians, sound effects for magicians: all are possible with this simple app.
In-App Purchase: Unlimited Shows and Cues
Audio Cues permits up to 2 shows on each device and up to 10 cues per show without any payment or registration. An in-app purchase adds support for Unlimited Shows and Cues. In-app purchases are connected to Google accounts rather than individual devices, so the Unlimited Shows and Cues package will be recognized wherever you download the app with your account.
New version, May 2023

Visit https://bit.ly/AudioCuesFlic to learn how to set up and use Flic buttons with Audio Cues.
Upcoming version, June 2023
- Version 2023.06.1, currently in public testing, adds a new audio cue property that runs the cue upon a Flic button event. Join the testing group at https://AudioCuesBeta.
Audio Cues Features
Audio Cues supports five kinds of cues:
- Audio cues work with all standard audio file formats, including WAV, OGG and more.
- Fade cues can change a targeted audio cue’s volume and pan from one channel to the other.
- Stop cues immediately stop targeted audio cues.
- Pause/Play cues act as a toggle switch, pausing or playing the targeted audio cues depending on whether they’re currently playing.
- Go to cues let you jump to another cue and optionally play it right it right away.
Other features include:
- Integration with Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox to transfer audio files to your Android device
- Support for Flic buttons, Bluetooth media remote controls, and keyboards to trigger cues during performances
- Backup and restore shows to ZIP files
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Up and down cursor keys to scroll through the cue list
- Space bar to trigger the Go button
- Esc to stop all running cues
- Configurable keyboard shortcuts for navigation and running cues
Importing Audio Files
Import audio files from:
- File sharing services such as Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive
- An SD card or thumb drive
- The device’s internal storage
We recommend Audacity, a free desktop application, for creating audio files.
