A bit laggy and could do with an option to switch to recent tasks as well as favourites.

Does not work with my Home screen. Cannot use the app at all.

Wrong apps in recent apps list.

But I'll give 6* if it has a better looks for its default icon :P

I now find it more useful than ever! I just wish I could figure out how to get the widgets and app launcher icon to work. Can't find any settings options...

T70%
by T####:

Using home button is a good idea, but it's too slow. A task switcher needs to be super fast. That's the point of a task switcher

T70%
by T####:

It only needs a way to set different configurations based on the screen orientation.

by T####:

I use a n915A with lollipop and doesn't show any apps, not open, no recent, any idea?

T70%

A great help for those who use their phones for multiple tasks and have a Samsung, which does not have a recent apps button.

It doesnt work on android 4.3 sgs4

I had no issues with this app. It let's me see what's running and close what I want. Job done.

T70%
by T####:

Switches to running apps as they were when I left them. (Some other task-switchers 'restart' the app, ending in the start screen of the app I switched to.) Starts very quickly, and is quite low on memory usage. * Request for the developer, ability to add shortcuts too, besides widgets. (please?)

Launches fairly fast. Not many configuration options. Wish it could show apps as list or cards (similar to pre). I find Simple Task Switcher to be similar with more functionality.

Exactly what was expected. Replaces home button, second press on home runs homeapp. On long press finish the task. Brilliant!

make option to reverse left to right...that way last used app is on left side. like PreHome app. I've been using this app since it came out, so much better than PreHome, but with out this option, i am forced to still use PreHome, however PreHome sux, loads slow. I've waited for this option to be added for years, PLEASE... hmm, i guess i understand now... who needs to click the app they are on... so that app is already too the right. i use the reverse option you have. great app, I'm ditching PreHome.

Exactly what I wish: easy to use , no unnecessary features. Thanks

It is great for phones without button for task switching - long press on home button is so slow way to switch tasks. I use this app with double tap on home button option and with show recent apps option turn on. It would be great if developer could low memory consumption of the app - it consumes 50MB of RAM on my device.

C70%
by C####:

Sometimes crashes on startup. Please fix. Also add long press again to remove from recent. Add ability to squeeze more apps in when recent list is full by automatically switching to 5 or 6 task column mode. Add single and zero widget rows while keeping favourites.

V70%
by V####:

But crashes sometime. I like it small size, and can apply widget. And home button double tap is very functional. However, after I change my wall paper, it stops working sometime and no matter how hard I tried to restart, clear data, or reboot my cellphone, it just doesn't work. Then I have to uninstall and reinstall, but all previous setting disappeared and I have to start over. I hope you have a backup option.

I just wish my widgets at the top of the screen wouldn't disappear in landscape orientation.

by R####:

It will be nice if UI improvement is done. Like Transition effect . Curved borders to separate blocks(light coloured like grey). It should look like a popup. Also Background blur adjustment. Any way app is nice and works well for me . On this page add some good screen shots guys ;)

M70%
by M####:

Had to set it up so that when I press the button, it operates the launcher, as opposed to being able to choose... No massive biggy, just need to go back to the main screen to open the app again. Fix this, will change to 5*

Simple and straight forward. Made my life easier. 5 stars if it used less mem and I could purchase a no internet permission pro. Sent e mail to dev on 02/07/13....about the huge amount of ram this app uses. I have dropped a couple stars because of the mem problem and am uninstalling till there is a solution. Trying other apps now for comparison and I have found they use much less memory. But I love this one the best. Just can't take the fc it can cause from memory usage

Works great on Samsung Galaxy S3. Trying to buy Ad-Free version causes Google Play to crash. Author needs to have customers buy from Google Play and not from inside his own App.

Hey if you can get past the engrish, it's a decent app which gets the job done transparently, which is ideally what a task switcher would do. Great
