About Switcher Widget

A widget allowing you to switch between your actual running tasks.

Original idea from http://bit.ly/cMYqDt
By putting pictures in /sdcard/data/switcherwidget/ you can easily skin this widget.

Plus (paid - less than €1) version brings task killing and exclude application list.
Horizontal scrolling is not actually possible, I will try making a vertical scrolling one for launcher supporting scrolling widgets in future releases

Works great on desire. Few tips,refresh once a taskkiller kills apps, option to kill apps, and scrollable. So far its just a shortcut widget

X70%
by X####:

Just what I was looking for! A dock-style app switcher which is not a killer.

Cool

X70%
by X####:

Would be great it wasn't limited to 5 recent apps. Make the widget size adjustable and it'd be perfect.

X70%
by X####:

It works and looks nice, but like others said it seems kind of useless. To me at least.

X70%
by X####:

Works like it says just not what I thought it would be

Would be five stars if there was an ignore list!

I never used this until I got a new phone.. Why was I not using it? Good App :-)

T70%

Great app but why does it require internet access?

Need to be able to close apps from the bar.

S70%
by S####:

Really good, same as most other comments though; could do with more options. Still 5 star for "does exactly what it says on the tin" factor. HTC Desi

K70%
by K####:

Very nice! Just what I'm looking ....oops... Apps exited still shown? Not what I'm looking for.... Haha... Maybe it's not for my galaxy tab....

S70%
by S####:

Absolutely awesome. Perfect. I was looking for something like this for months. Works perfect. Would be cool if u could close Apps from bar.

S70%
by S####:

Not real sure what direction app is taking. A slide type doc could make this app more enjoyable. PLEASE

M70%
by M####:

Love this app! But 5 items on 1 row is not enough... If the app can show 12 items speate in 2 rows will much much much better!

Q70%
by Q####:

Great widget. Combined with Quickdesk is awesome. I'd love to see more options, though. In particular, an ignore list would be excellent.

S70%
by S####:

Would be great of you could scroll and see all apps that are running

G70%
by G####:

More options would be nice. And close apps from bar ****

W70%
by W####:

Hrm...well it works perfectly for me on my Galaxy S. The only way this app could be better would be if I could change the icons to match my theme!

P70%
by P####:

Great app but needs to be updated as lots of apps don't show up nor does it update screen fast enough

S70%
by S####:

Would give 5 stars if it could be scrolled to see more than 5 apps

S70%
by S####:

Doesn't work on my Galaxy S - yes I know how widgets work!

Does not redresh. Toolbar not a win taskmanager style. Motodevour
