SwipeLaunch Disabler

Lenovo Tab3 Pro Love it. No more annoying Google Swipe. No more being kicked out of what I'm doing just to have the Google search page come up. If I swipe, the screen flickers white for a split second, then carries on as if nothing has happened. It works even better on my Lenovo S6000.

This is one of the single best apps ever. I was so sick of accidently taking too long to hit the home button and getting an annoying Google search. Who knew an app that essentially does nothing could be such a godsend.

I was at the point of disabling my Google search due to this frustrating "feature" foisted on me by my new phone. I have motor coordination issues anyhow, guarding my swiping wasn't going to work, not when my last phone didn't have this irritant. Highly recommended, A+++.

Many thanks for this apps, never use that ****ing google search, it is very annoying wrongly swipe up come up google apps. On my first device have official MM update that can disable on phone setting. Use this apps on lollipop device.

Simple and yet brilliant. Google should learn to respect its users. There's absolutely NO need to hijack the Home button in order to forcefeed your stupid Search Assistant. If people need to search for something, they can click on an icon. BTW, I installed this app because of the long press on the Home button launched forced Google Assistant/Search. This app fixed it for me, but apparently some people still have problems with the long Home press. I suggest they try the Nova Launcher, which enables to customize what happens on long Home button press.

Love it! I used to just be able to freeze it or disable it in build.prop when I was rooted but I can't do that any longer so this is a nice fix. That got so annoying. When I'd try to go home, it's glitch and go to Google Now. Thanks so much for making this little app. :)

It works. I swiped it about a dozen more times, laughing while I watched Google being denied every time. It's just a one second bubble, no disruption. Perfect! Thanks for creating an app to take away that headache. User: follow instructions on the photos, as there is no app icon to follow.

That swipe shortcut was pissing me off. So. Much. And without asking for any unnecessary/excessive permissions! To those complaining about how there are no instructions: the instructions are in the play store description. And they're not exactly hard to figure out. Adding them to the app just means more unnecessary bloat.

It got rid of that annoying "Google search" function. (Seriously who thought that was a good idea ?). I can now swipe up and NOTHING HAPPENS. This app is great

Google now is the pure king in being extremely annoying and useless simultaneously. This app replaces the joy of opening google now garbage by nothing which is certainly better.

You try playing pool then searching for swear words cause it pulled up google. Thank you so much!

Finally I can get rid of annoying popping of Google now. ;)

Yes! But be warned, everybody says that this app does nothing, but while doing nothing it does a great service to me! I will never again be tempted to say things that my children should not hear when Google room me away from whatever page I was attempting to look at! Thank you! P.s. I would pay for this app!

I love what this app does when I accidentally swipe up from the home button: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING opens! I was soooo tired of seeing the Get Started page of Google Now. Don't use Now cards and never will. This gem of an app substitutes a great big nothing for an obnoxious promotion. Thanks, developer. Keep that hair growing! Moto E (2015) with Lollipop 5.0.2.

I cannot recall how many times I lost what I was doing by accidentally swiping the home button and ending up in a google search. Then not being able to resume the previous operation was extremely frustrating. I do not see any advantage from the swipe start google search that would begin to compensate for the lost effort an accidenntal swipe produces. With this app ending my accidental swipe starts I no longer am say WTF several times a day because I fat finger swiped the home button. Great app. Thanks!!!

This is the solution for you who do not like swipe-to-search gesture. I am wondering why goggle did not make any option to turn the gesture off. They force people to use something that they do not like. So, here you are. Happy installing.

This app is a must-have on every new phone, but I'm searching my ass off every time. I wish I could blame you for it with less stars, but this app rocks too hard.

Well, almost. Epic launcher on my nexus 9 worth marshmallow started launching Google now on a home secret swipe, with no setting to change it. This stops that. Doesn't work on a long press on the home screen button, but that's much less annoying.

I never noticed how annoying Google swipe was until recently and thankfully this app helps remove the minor annoyance for good. I still don't understand why there isn't a way to disable it through in phone settings, but thankfully apps like this exist.

This app is fantastic! It solves such an annoying problem in a simple way. Nothing happens when you swipe up now. This is so important to me I'd be willing to donate! Is there a donate page for the developers for this?

No more silly Google up swipe. For so long my fat sausage fingers have been accidentally invoking the Google. No more will my silly searches across the surface of my phone be interrupted. now it's your time to give the swipe up the one finger salute

So stupid yet so necessary. My Smart phone is so smart it refuses to root and lacks the required settings to disable the retarded swipe home action. OK so it might not be so retarded if it could set per user preference as opposed to only having the option to load Google search. Jeez Google can you shove this in my face any more please. No I do not want Google search and thanks to Sony's lack of rooting options for Xperia I can't even uninstall the dam bloatware. Here I thought things might improve on Andr.

I can't thank the developer enough for putting this together, Google is always popping up and interfering because of accidental swipe launches, and I'd been looking for a way to disable it. This app does the trick nicely

Uselessly functional. Simple, and to the point. While my phone still responds to the swipe it doesn't open a new page anymore; just an impotent circle that quickly disappears.

The accidental swipe ups on this daft function were driving me nuts. This works a treat, thank you.

This works perfectly! I never use Google's search app. I prefer to use a browser. It is annoying if I'm browsing or playing games and I accidentally swipe up from home and launch Google search. This is awesome!

This should be an available setting in Android. Since it's not, this app takes on the task. It was so annoying to have Google now pop-up when doing other tasks... Now it's fixed. Thanks!

I once praised Android builds for its bloatfree nature. No longer, as revenue chains continue to cut into my skin. THANK YOU

Google now is the pure king in being extremely annoying and useless simultaneously. This app replaces the joy of opening google now garbage by nothing which is certainly better.

This should be a setting in Android I've had the app 5 minutes I love it's free but gimme a way to throw money at you I love this app must have for anyone who doesn't like google now or home swipe launching

Oh my god. Thank you. Why Google ever thought that stupid swipe thing was a good idea, I'll never know. It was THE most irritating thing about this phone. Thank you.

this app finally ends annoying problems with my home button when i'm playing games >_< thanks for think and developing this simple useful app

Took me a minute to realise no icon- you set when swipe up. Glad to lose Google firing up unintentionally when I scroll up.

Finally I can get rid of annoying popping of Google now. ;)

Ridiculous that you need an app for this, and can't simply do it from your phone. Works perfectly, though.

This app saved the day and I no longer have Google opening up and freezing my games. I've always found the Google launcher annoying, once it started keeping me from catching Pokémon it was time to go lol. I found this app and it works just as expected.

That stupid Google swipe would always open up while I was texting, emailing, etc but no more! Perfect app, thanks!

I hate the 'feature' this fixes, and that this is necessary at all. Echoing others' annoyance as well. Great app.

Thanks to this app I can stop getting so furious with my phone! Excellent!
