Gestures often don't work, I have to bind like 30 gestures to the same thing to accurately track swiping one direction. Some apps overlay on top of the gesture area. It breaks permissions in other apps in Android m

The launcher is fantastic because extremely fast and very easy to setup. Bought the license on the same day without waiting for trial period to expire. NOV 2014: after using it for a while. I am extremely satisfied with it. It's blazing fast and so easy to setup, and I previously tried therm all.

Edit: yeah I use the Samsung s7 edge . Bought the paid version.I would wish you could make the app support the edge of the screen without setting the offset.and I couldn't change the app colour by using the image option .wish there would be a way to change colour using gamma options to select colour .lastly,switching apps appears not to be always accurate as certain apps which show up in the notification shade tend to appear when switching to the last used app.All the same, great app

This is just a few days trial .. once you get used to it .. will turn off and make you buy it it you want to use it!! that is fine BUT warn us before we download/install/use it .. (instead you can use a free app called "Back Button" .. (on Play market has same 'U turn' arrow icon .. but white arrow on grey background in a square))

All power users: ignore the bad reviews for this app. They come from people who either don't understand what this stroke of genius does or who just want a simple button and get confused. Just look at the reviews for the paid version and you will see how much people who really use this app appreciate it: It is a perfectly working gesture launcher with unlimited configurability. I use tapping the button to switch to the last active app and simple swipes in the 8 compass directions (up, up left etc.) to launch my most used apps and to toggle system functions like wifi directy from *any* screen. I have some less frequently used functions on "swipe and return", e.g. swipe left and return to go to the settings screen to configure gestures. When the button gets in the way, it can easily be moved (hold and drag) or hidden (swipe gesture) and shown again by the same gesture or through notifications. No launcher that requires a tap or swipe to open a GUI can be this quick / efficient at performing your most frequently used actions. Also, I've e-mailed about five comments / feature request to the developers and all were answered within one or two days.

I like the app and would buy when trial expires. The only function I use is back button but there is no option to double tap to go back.

A bit more customizability would make it even better - eg different actions for gestures from each side and maybe even top and bottom half of each side. Life wouldn't be the same without this app.

Transmits information about you on the internet. If you're in an area with no internet, the app will stop working. The developer can spy on your information and your location always. There is no way to know all the information that is being collected about you. Avoid this app if you care about your security.

I've searched similar apps and this one is best for multi taskers...but one has to throw in a few minutes to understand it.

Beware software developers with crazy license schemes. This app gets your information and transmits it over the internet

Love that you can swipe to go back to next app in lollipop. However while you can adjust height width of hotspot you can't seem to adjust position which is always centralised. That's not a good position for the hotspot.
