so you can choose a new one or leave the app.

Known bugs

If you are inside the chat app when a player disconnects,
you and/or the server will get an error telling,
that the specific player doesn’t exist.
This can be fixed by switching to another weapon and back again.
Some people cannot hear the music from the phone.

FAQ

Q: Can you add camera app, flashlight app, and games?
A: I won’t add camera, there’s already a camera in gmod with more possibilities than I could make.
I won’t add flashligt. Pressing F is easier than going into an app and pressing a button.
I won’t add games as alot of the code in the swep is unnecessary and could have been made better.
Which means it would take a long time to make a game, but it would also be very buggy at the end.
