Two apps with same name: this one did not work for me
It is important to know that there are two Audio Switcher apps in the app store. In the store, one of them is presented as one word, AudioSwitcher, and the other is presented as two words: Audio Switcher. But if you buy both apps, when they download, they both show up as AudioSwitcher on your computer: one word with a capital "A" and a capital "S" but both one word. The distinction in the app store names is gone. I purchased both at the same time basically and one of them downloaded as an app while the other downloaded with a folder containing the app and only the app. I dont know if they were designed that way or if they were downloaded with one in a folder because they both had the same name and one would have overwritten the other. But they definitely are two different apps and if you want the right one you really have to pay attention.
The one that works for me is the one that downloaded as a folder, though this may be only because I downloaded it after downloading the other one by the same name. It is the more expensive one. It is also the one that has only one review: a negative review that says it could be killed only in Activity Monitor. I am suspecting that this person actually had the other app and put a review in the wrong place but I cant be sure of this. If you look carefully at the information in the app store, you will know that the one that works for me is the one that shows 2.0.4 as the version and in addition to a link for support shows a link to a website for Lorenzo Thurman. It is the one that shows up in the app store with the space so that "audio Switcher" is two words. It does not open as an actual app with its own window as far as I can tell. But it creates an extras menu (which opens with vo-m once you locate it in the extras menu if you are a voiceover user as I am) and has options in it, including a quit option that does work. I havent explored this yet but its possible that theres also an option to show the app in a window as I know some apps have that as an option.
The other app, the one that does not work for me, will be listed as version 2.24.7. It is the one that costs just $0.99 and shows the seller as Paul O’neill. It is the one that has almost all the reviews, a lot of them good, so either this really works for some people or people reviewed the wrong app accidentally. After opening this app, I can find no trace of it anywhere except in Activity Monitor and that was the only place where I could kill the process. It does not work at all for me as a voiceover user; perhaps it works for other people but is not voiceover compatible.
