About Swipes: App Launcher/Switcher
WHAT IT DOES:
Swipes brings faster app switching and multitasking to Android. With Recent App Cards you can change between your recent apps with a single swipe from the edge of the screen faster than any other way. The Favorites drawer let's you add your favorite apps, toggles, actions, widgets, and shortcuts to have access to them anywhere and anytime while using your device. When upgraded you can create as many Favorite Lists as you please and with up to 8 different swipes you have easy access to all of them. With the Quick Launch feature you can add your most used app to have it 1 swipe away at anytime.
The free version includes access to the Left and Bottom Left Swipe areas for a total of 4 swipes. With a one time in-app purchase you can unlock the Right and Bottom Right Swipe areas for an additional 4 swipes. The free version also restricts favorite lists to Apps, Toggles, and Actions.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT:
Gives you 3 options for the side areas. Allows for multiple areas to be active at once. Multiple favorites lists. Faster app switching, instead of cycling through all your apps if you pass one you can go back and it's an easier motion to cycle through apps. Option to quick launch most used app. Recent App Cards look like they belong in android and not windows 8. Toggles indicate status.

i like the concept for quick task switching. unfortunately the sensitivity is not high enough for 1080p screens (i.e. galaxy s4)

Great App but it gets hard to swipe and text. Well this is just the lite version. And my phone has touchscreen bugs but IDK. While I was writing this everytime I try to hit P or Q it activates. Took me a while writing this and it activated 8 times while typing. Still great

I was surprised at how seamlessly I could switch between apps. I don't like having the notification icon on all the time, but it's not a major inconvenience. I highly recommend this app to everyone.

It looked like kakudo would do exactly what I was looking for (swipe to move from app to app). However, I don't see that functionality here, and the app has crashed a few times when trying to use the app tiles.

Just the app I was looking for as I got used to the feature in Windows 8 and on the iPad. Works well on my Galaxy Note 8 Like the new features.

with kakudo you swipe left or right between running apps & that's it. It worked. This not so much. If you're a fan of how Kakudo worked look elsewhere.

The new ui just seems confusing and is nowhere near as clear as it was before. I mean why the hell is a random app opening when I swipe :/

2013-10-29,Bionic JB. Interesting approach to recent apps/app launcher.App theme needs work-too little contrast to see controls(gray on gray washes out).Recent apps a little slow.Card concept interesting but needs to show names of app(cards need to be larger).Would like to see a Palm-like card.

I've just installed this and I was so hoping it wud be the answer to Samsung's / Android's home button task switcher pain but as soon as I did I cudnt enter text in an sms! As soon as I turned the app off all was back to normal- please correct this issue then wud happily pay for your app. Otherwise great app but as is its non-functional

However I have had quite a few instances when and just shut down for no reason also there is a bit of a lag switching between applications. Full points for effort and keeping it free.

Well i tried and using this app, it works perfectly but only for 5 seconds or so. I have a note 10.1, jelly bean, but it simply does that all the time. I dont know about the pro version, but i am afraid of buying it and not being able to use the features that seem to be very cool. Sad :(

This app has great potential, we are here to help you fix it. On my s3 it only works after i open this app and only one swipe works. Then i have to reopen this app them the same thing happens again. I wouldn't mind buying it if it's fixed. Thanks for the effort

This app works well with the exception that it can only switch between a limited number of apps before it stops switching and instead brings up a list of apps. If that issue gets fixed, this would truly be a 5 star app

It keeps saying there's no recent app. I opened 5 different apps and it still says no recent apps. Even when it did work it would just switch back to this app then exit to app screen.
