"My app" cannot be killed notification is suck.

This is for List or Grid lovers, & if you lean toward more minimal. ― Select any or all of 5 pages; each having it's own purposecontent. Shortcuts & apps. Launch & re-launch. Running & recent. ― Long-press for actions. Tasks-Kill button[X] ― LOTS of customization settings. One of the options is to toggle the display between this & a -2nd- Home app (this option may be problematic). [me: KitKat]

I tried about 20 of these task switchers and could not believe i could not find what i want. Most of them have some strange way of activating the switcher, such as having to use the home key. This one gives you an Icon. In addition it works perfectly, is customizable, clean, easy to use. I highly recommend it!

ZTE decided to remove recent apps from the Warp Sync on the home button. Thank god for this.

This app adds, with ease, what should be native Android functionality. It has greatly increased my efficiency on a tool I depend on heavily for work and personal use. Thank you.

There doesn't seem to be an easy way to access this app. Home or dbl-click home always asks what to run regardless of default set and always takes me to the standard home. I have to run it from the icon. An icon in the notification window would be useful. Other than that it does what it says.

Been looking for a replacement for my previous replacement for a while and ran into this one and was pleasantly surprised. Fast, intuitive, configurable and decent to look at. Well done!

I have 2 Android devices that I constantly use. While this works flawlessly on my phone with version 4.2.2 it simply does not show up for my Nexus 7 (2012) tablet running 5,0,0. I so hope and pray the author comes out with a compatible version. Unfortunately there is no application which is genuinely task switcher. All I am interested in is for an app to show the actual running apps ! Even Android does not provide one !!! For the phone it is perfect. Got rid of all the so called task managers !!!

I would like to give 5 star if i can use left key for this app instead of home key

This app is the perfect solution for task switching! When I want to switch tasks, I usually already know what I want to switch to... I just need a simple way to select the task. This app is very clean and simple, and works very well!

Great App, Good Developer, and continues to get better and better. There are still a few things missing/issues: • Inactive Apps are (still) too transparent, nearly invisible, please add a setting too adjust inactive app transparency • Vertical spacing between Apps/Icons is still way too little, please add a Setting to adjust vertical spacing... Looking forward to future versions, great app, changes above would make it even better!

This app is simple, and has all the features I need (quick launch recent apps, or switching between running apps). Tried all the other task switching apps, but they had too much gimmick and bloat. This just works.

I've been searching for this app. I use an iPhone for work. With this app you can set up the double tap to bring up task switcher, the same behavior as an iPhone. Trust me long pressing an iPhone home button is worthless, Siri comes up :-(

Very well put together. In my opinion you can't go wrong, because this app is just about perfect! Thank you.

It's always been clear to me that since task-switching is the most common activity on a smartphone, there should be a dedicated button for it, rather than as a secondary function of a button. This app resolves that issue, and enables you launch your Recent Tasks by touching the home button (you can go Home by double-tapping Home, which is configurable). Much more logical. Only feature still needed is for all tasks to have same "brightness".Update 7/22/13-EXCELLENT DEV-VERY RESPONSIVE!
