About Swipe

Swipe it!
Swipe enable you to navigate from app to app with a simple finger gesture. Swipe from the right edge of the screen to the left and it brings you to the previous app, do the contrary and it brings you to the next. Do it with two fingers and it brings you to the home screen or to the last app. Double tap and it launches the recent tasks list or long press to desactivate Swipe for 10 seconds in order to use a button below one of the panels for example. And now you can choose between different profiles to use Swipe with the right hand only for example!
This app is simple and intuitive, you can only love it.

A YouTube video is going to be added soon as a tutorial.


This is a 48 hours trial version, buy the pro key if you want to use it after that.

• Features:
- Choose between different profiles : two hands, left hand, right hand.

by N####:

Couldn't get it to work often enough to work! It was like it just ignored my swipes. Unfortunately uninstalled, liked the concept. Moto G 2015, 6.0.1

C70%
by C####:

It only works going from the home launcher then back to the Swipe's settings app. I could not go to the previous or the next app that was opened.

T70%
by T####:

I absolutely love the app. There isn't really anything to say - simple, useful, doesn't crash - awesome. One suggestion if I might. I would love it if I could close apps with a swipe. If I could assign the right side swipe to change between apps and then the left side swipe to close them for example. Is there a way to incorporate that in? Even if not, great app!

B70%
by B####:

Only problem is it should have option to disable itself in full screen app like camera or games. Swiping in case of 4.3 camera app changes app rather than viewing recent images

Y70%
by Y####:

This is the most entertaining thing I have every seen. Its a little buggy when you switch between apps, but its still the coolest thing in the world. I also use your screen dimmer app

K70%

Doesn't call recents correctly to know which apps to swipe back and forth.

Couldn't get this to work at first so emailed the dev. He was very helpful and friendly in telling me how to first setup the App and after that it's been working fine. Will be buying the full version. Thankyou :)

How are you supposed to use it when there is no description of what the gestures are, only get "right hand" "left hand " wtf?

I have a sidebar home launcher cannot use this app properly ...please enable swipe from downside and upside.

… when I have it set with an animation it doesn't take effect with Nova launcher when set to open app with animation. Is there a fix?

N70%
by N####:

It works ok. I can't seem to get it to wrap around to the first app once it gets to the last app. I didn't really understand what "show panes" does. I'd like to be able to customize the behaviors for the different swipes. I'll have to see how battery drain goes. Call it a concern for now.

N70%
by N####:

It's a great app but it's confusing to me and don't tell me to read the description because I already did.

N70%
by N####:

1) with default profile it switches between home screen (left edge swipe) and Swipe app itself (right edge swipe), no matter which apps I started and in what sequence, 2) with "right hand" profile it doesn't switch anything no matter how hard I try.

V70%

Great app. With great build quality. I'm surprised Android haven't put this feature in themselves.

N70%
by N####:

When I try to open the pane it tells my deactivated for 10 seconds with no other explanation. UPDATE NOV 2014: Did the above comment on July and received answer in November (four months later!) Tried again but now nothing happens at all and without explanation whatsoever. Probably due to idiotic 48 hours trial limit. Uninstalled again. Anyway, would have been good maybe 4 months ago but now I find Swype movement for this imprecise, especially without vibration feed back and am happy with Last App Switcher

Broken in Lollipop. Needs to work with "Usage Access" and all should be well again.

Doesn't do anything on my Nexus 4 running 4.4.2. Looks like developer has abandoned the project.

Nice app for navigation between recent apps

Doesn't work

O70%
by O####:

This is a really useful way to make app switching easier, it's especially useful when you're phone is mounted in the car. However, some tweaks I'd like to see: - Indicate when there's no more apps to swipe to in a particular direction by changing the colour of the pane or: - Cycle around to the beginning of the apps list again when you continue to swipe in the same direction - Allows excluding of some apps from the list

by U####:

This app makes switch apps really easy, smooth, and faster than any others app switchers. I hope the developer will continue improve it.

U70%
by U####:

All we need now is an option or gesture for the back button and I can stay in full screen (KitKat) forever - immersive mode.

U70%
by U####:

I am so accustomed to this on the iPad, but it is easier with the one finger technique of your app. For me the only feature missing is the ability to close the apps by sliding them up or by some customizable gesture option so I do not have to do this via the recent apps view. NB - The double tap for recent apps does not work on my note 8.
