Smart Task Launcher

Use it 100 times a day! Love the integration with recent apps. Love the swipe features. I operate my Note 2 and 3 with one hand now. Only thing when I want to take a picture in landscape mode, the touch area is in the way. For me not an issue, but for users who lend my phone for a picture, it is. So I made it a bit thinner. Would be a nice option indeed to deactivate it when using certain apps Edit 06-2015: Note 3 updated to 5.0. Now swipe down (open notifications) is not working anymore. Please fix.

Many Apps of the same product on the market these days but but they don't even come close to this launcher? It has many possibilities including ability to launch other launcher menus from within the same page and lots more far too mention in here? Check it out and you will have a constant companion for life. Note that some customer ROMs may not detect the verification of purchased license of this product. Check with developer first before upgrading to Pro version, if he or she answers you. Just keep trying.

I finally replaced this with Everywhere Launcher since STL dev never fixed bugs. Clunky and confusing to set up. Worst bugs are that icons cannot be changed via standard icon packs, and frequently it stops working, even though the notification says it's still there.

in order to have more apps but not take up screen space. Also blurring the background would be better than dimming.

Keep getting overlays detected errors when accepting new permissions from other apps. I have to disable this app to allow to set their permissions. Really annoying and looking for an alternative launcher.

app works as described. but after awhile there is a 2-5 sec delay when launching any of the apps on the launcher. service randomly stops. In the options it does show that the service is running. shows a check mark in box. I have to uncheck and check it again for the service to run again.

Everything works as it should apart from Direct dial shortcut, if I select a number as a direct dial I get an error message . Direct dial works OK if I use it from my home screen. As an improvement suggestion , if you can make the hotspot hide and a slide gesture to make it visible would be nice . Cheers .

App keeps on stopping. Other than that app is pretty good and useful. Hope developer can look into and resolve this issue soon.

If developer dude have its own phone in focus than I understand his "NO SUPPORT at all" point. But I face Issue - on MIUI 8 MM Xiaomi Mi Max 6,44. Trigger sizes to huge. In BOTH dimensions Hotspots should have 1% 2% 3 % 4% sizes instead of current 5% . Fix that.

Issue after updating to Android Nougat - had a hotspot set to display Home screen after down swipe and recent apps after up swipe but recent apps function can no longer be invoked despite attempting to reassign the function. Can this be fixed?

Have problem in miui 8... Sometime cannot run any application when press icon & this app didnt run in background..need to open and alwas show in recent app

The best side launcher I've used so far, unfortunately developer haven't update it for over a year and there are bugs issue, didn't launch widget most of the time.

Tool is great and a must have but there seems to be an issue that open close notification and settings action does not work altogether

This little app is fantastic for adding hidden shortcuts you can access from anywhere. Always an immediate install on a fresh ROM or phone.

Fantastic

I can't launch any recent apps. I keep getting a "Isn't RecentTask" toast. Nexus 6P

If I could I was going to rate this app 10 Stars!

crash all my games

Update 08-2016 With my Note 4 , Android 6.01 app is killed frequently.

I LOVE that you can launch separate cutomizable launchers from different hotspots (w/pro version) & simple actions (back, home, recent etc.). Applying custom icons to each item crashes when applying directly from an icon pack, but works fine with images from your gallery. Using ThemeX, I extract the icons from an icon pack to my gallery and problem solved.

VERY useful launcher. 5 stars if I could use icon packs. Also, I find it annoying that if I touch an icon too long, I'm sent to the app menu. I'd rather open the app from the drawer if I want to make a change.

I've been using STL for years now (Pro - totally worth it), but recently my additional launchers don't work. Launchers 2-4 are assigned to show from swipe gestures from a different app. They've always worked fine until the most recent Android update. Now I can't access anything but launcher 1. Please fix as I love STL but this error is very inconvenient.

I needed a replacement for SmartPad launcher after upgrading to Android Marshmallow on a new phone. If you are looking for a replacement for SmartPad then you have found the app as all the features you could use there can now be found here. The pro version is honestly worth it due to the extra hot spots you get. This is the first app I've ever considered reviewing after using a long list of productivity apps due to its effectiveness with Marshmallow and similarity to SmartPad

I was looking for some good launchers and when I found this I was like what is this? But I tried it and can't stop using it. It's and great and very customizable. :D

This app is phenomenal and has been a lifesaver for me across 3 phones. One thing that would make it perfect would be better edge compatibility with Samsung phones. As it is, hotspots don't register along the curved edge of the screen.

Has phone permission but direct dial shortcuts do not work. Once fixed I'll up the score

ONE SUJECTION IF YOU MAKE POSSIBLE FOR PLACING CUSTOM ICON FOR HOTSPOT, THAT WILL BE VERY NICE !

Action takes anywhere from 1 seconds to 10 seconds of delay.

Updated for latest version. Still think it's a great app for keeping my most used apps always accessible with just a flick of my thumb. Probably my most used app.

easy to set up, allows to switch to other apps by swiping from the hot spot

Allows you to access programs from any screen as well as other things.

really good...I liked it so much..^_^

Can I turn off the toast with action?

Buy the Pro, it's better to have multiple launchers

Just moved over from rooted Galaxy S3 to unrooted Galaxy S7. With its gestures and Launcher, and I had huge hopes that this would be THE replacement app for the GMD Gestures root app I was using on my S3. Almost everything is set up, except I'm getting a getPackageName Java error with direct dials in the Launcher. Two emails and two weeks later still no response or fix from the developer. Also would love to have an option to assign "no action" to some of the gestures.

I like everything about the app except that custom icons cannot be applied to the launcher. Only application icons or pictures from gallery can be set as icons in the launcher. If I try to use an icon from an icon pack, an error occurs. Can you please work on this? Thanks in advance!

Best gesture launcher I've found, by far. Very configurable, though some configuration and settings functions are clunky and confusing to set up. Worst bugs are that icons cannot be changed via standard icon packs, and I frequently find it stops working, even though the notification says it's still there. Requires going into app and toggling Stop/Start service to restore. A fix of these 2 items would earn 4 stars. Cleaning up the UI and config schemes would be 5.

instead of already running app in background. Its not issue with phones memory management as we can continue same app via android button and navigating to the running app. Galaxy S6

Icon change still different work though..

The best, best, best app ever
