About Multitask Shortcut

Do you hate long pressing the home button?
Now with ICS, you really want to use this feature a lot.
Strangely, it is not possible to create a shortcut to this, android does not expose it as an activity.
Get to it quicker, a lot quicker, I would recommend using it with Widgetsoid as shown in the video.

Apologies in advance for not making this free. I have a baby coming and would love to support him in anyway possible. Thanks.

Now I can quickly switch between apps using my wireless mouse. I just had to remap one of the buttons using the "Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner" app. Perfection!

Awesome app for my note 2

Dropped my droid maxx and cracked the corner with the multitasking button, leaving it unusable. This app replaced it perfectly! Worth the price, thank you

No permissions needed. Coupled with home2shortcut app I can double tap my home button to launch the task manager. Holding the home key still brings it up though. Would like to reassign that function.

I damaged my S5 Active and the recent app key no longer works. This let me assign the recent app function to my "active" key, which I never used anyway. Saves me a repair :)

I have a problem. TouchWiz is showing up in my Multitasking Menu when I use it with Home2. How do I fix this?

Great app. Works perfectly

I give it 5 starts, because its only 10k of app, no adds, and the only thing i need, is a way to use the shrtcut from the notification bar, the way i have "home butten" installed...

Very nice, thank you for liberating us from the annoying home long press

C70%

This is a fantastic app. I tried to make something like this with Tasker but was unable. The idea of having to long press a home button to get to this info was a terrible choice by Samsung. Thanks for making an app to correct their mistake! Worth the $.

This is exactly what I needed for my Nokia X. It was probably something so simple to code that I don't know if it really should be a paid app instead of something to share with everyone, but for pocket change it really does make the android experience better and works as described.

Exactly what I was looking for to replace that awful home button on my Note 2. Well worth the price and more...great job developer.

I cannot stand the press and hold funtion for S3. This does the trick. Thank you.

Doesn't work when the status bar is hidden on the Nexus 10, although it works wonders on my S3 with home2shortcut. Really was hoping to use this with GMD Gesture Control to get rid of the pesky onscreen keys, but I'll live. Keep up the good work.

The only thing letting my Galaxy s3 down was the slow multitasking button! Not anymore.. Thanks great app!

Works as advertised. Help switch apps fast without using home button.

Perfect app, does just want its needed for! Only thing is maybe the icon could be made a little bigger as it looks strange with my other icons in the dock, thanks!

Works as described, happy :) I recommend using this app with widgetsoid and virtual button bar (rooted users).

App is usual on phones without a multitasking button.

Hope you can make it on the notification panel by default without using other app. Still great though. Keep it up.

If you want a shortcut to recent apps, this does it! Has worked flawlessly for months.

The app doesn't do much - just exactly what is needed. Simple yet immensely helpful. Definitely worth the small price!
