iPhone/iPad: press and hold the 7Sage LSAT app icon for a couple of seconds. All the app icons should start shaking. Tap on the little "x" in the top left of the 7Sage LSAT app icon.

I hope removing the app helps. Please let me know if it doesn't, and feel free to email me at alan@7sage.com any time.

I use an iPhone 5s w iOS 7 and TAPTAP SWIPE UP every time I'm finished using it during the day. Your app plays when it is completely exited.

The voices have started up at least 10 times in the past month. Always uses the proctor's voice that I last chose. Has started at varying positions in the instructions, though I may just be catching the instructions in the middle. However, the voices do continue on to the end of the instructions once they start. I know this because the first time they started reading I thought I was imagining things and went back to sleep, and then they woke me up 35 minutes later.

Often starts up in the car speakers when my phone is connected via Bluetooth and instead of the latest bumpin tracks I expect to hear from my phone, I get "Put your pencils down...." Again, this is happening when the app is completely closed out on my phone. The only way to temporarily stop the voices is reopening and exiting.

Per your suggestion, I just reluctantly deleted the helpful demon

If you don't mind possibly waking up to more "Put your pencils down" - I have an idea that might help...

Once the Proctor is started, it is controllable by the media controls (e.g. the remote on your headphones, and the << || >> buttons when you swipe up from the bottom. Even when you force close the app, it is still controllable by the media controls. This is normal behavior for audio apps in iOS. The built in Music app, and the popular TuneIn app both act the same way.

What makes the proctor different from these apps is that there are long periods of silence, so playback could be restarted but with no sound until the next proctoring instruction is triggered. In retrospect, having the proctor controlled by the media controls may have been bad idea for this reason

So if the play button on a headphone remote is pressed or a bluetooth hookup automatically triggers play on the media controls, that will cause the proctor to play again.

If you think that this is the source of the problem, there are two workarounds:

1. Set Background and/or Distractions to a high value. This way, if playback is accidentally triggered, you will notice it immediately.

2. Play another audioplayer app, like the default Music app, when you are done with the 7Sage proctor. Then that other audioplayer app becomes the one controlled by the media player.

Thanks for the additional information. I'm also running iPhone 5S with iOS7 and I haven't seen this before. I'm trying to trigger this random playback by starting the proctor and then killing it with taptap swipe and waiting, but it hasn't happened for me yet.

I hope deleting the app keeps the demon away for you

Sorry for all the trouble!

Your explanation makes sense. When the "play" media control is triggered, then I suppose the last thing controlled by media controls will be triggered. Although I'm still not sure why exiting the app fails to free the app from the media controls' command as well. Playing music after using the 7sage proctor seems to be the most convenient and pleasant solution! Thanks, Alan, for your attention to this post! 180 cheers for 7sage.
