Hi Rusty,
I would like to +1 this request. Adding a floating control is possible: you will see it in apps such as Facebook Messenger or MS OneNote. The 'floating' control can be re-positioned anywhere on the screen and is always visible, unless you actively remove it. To give you some context, I do a lot of my music rating during my daily commute. I listen to the music and read a book on the Kindle app on the phone. Every 3 mins or so I have to switch between the Kindle and MMA apps, rate the track using the stars and then go back to the Kindle app. I could also rate it through the widget on the home screen but this is essentially the same process. If we had the floating control then I could rate the track during reading the book, which would be fair less disruptive. Does that makes sense?
Thanks,
Paul
