What is ‘dynamicSpot’?

Available in Android Play Store, this option is a 'miniature version' of Dynamic Island. However, it does not unlock all features of the original. dynamicSpot does allow users to customise some features, for example, showing two notifications simultaneously. You can also control music playback with this app.
