Pie Control for Android
I'm using it for a laptop with touch screen and Phoenix OS. I totally emptied the desktop now. I really appreciate being able to set it for both touch and swipe. One suggestion is to put a border around the folders to make it easier to see. New version has one problem: Backup is nice but only allows one setup per Google account bad when you have multiple devices
Love this for all my shortcuts I need when I'm in an app! One thing: I used to be able to change each icon indivually, so I could have some icons from one pack and other icons from another pack. It seems like that functionality is gone with the most recent update? Can you bring that back? I really liked making it look extra slick. Still giving 5 stars because it's better than other apps that do similar things.
I'm a dick. Disregard previous reviews due to said sickness. App is essential part of my phone, can't deal without it, first thing installed on every device I buy. Phone feels annoying without it. Only one thing missing, an auto rotate toggle
My phone doesn't feel right without it. Find myself using it daily. I only have one suggestion, could you possibly make it where the background will dim whenever you launcher the pie? I have seen it in similar apps and it creates a far better effect.
Used to love this app before the recent update, now it's always crashing and they removed or made it extremely difficult (I can't find it) options for auto rotate and using custom icons for single buttons (not general icon packs). It was fantastic before the recent update unfortunately.
Update sucks! Got rid of my previous settings and they don't have the one thing I used often, the damn rotate screen button. I wish I can get the old pie back.
After recent update it says to select "permit drawing over apps" but does not let me access the app. After saying yes to draw over apps, it closes. Please fix... Awesome app!
I have purchased pie control and love it. The only issue I have is that whenever I unlock my phone. the navigation already open, even when I have not touched the sides. Is there a way to prevent that? Would give it 5 stars when that issue is fixed. Thanks
So far it seems pretty useful, works well. One thing I noticed right off the bat though: the pie isn't centered on where it was swiped in from. Wherever your fingertip initiated the swipe from your trigger area, your finger is almost already selecting the bottom icon of layer 1 because the pie is opening higher than it should. Then you have to move your finger up so it's at the center of the blank space before you make a selection in the pie. Please fix this. Thanks
Every update takes away features it seems. After the update i lost many short cuts and color/size resets and now i haven't t change it all again! I can't add many shortcuts like flashlight and auto screen rotate. Can you let me add these shortcuts?
Ok so I am changing my review because I realize some things are not up to you and are more reliant on what Android is built on. (I.E. Navbar removal not possible on some phones) Yes this is the best Pie Control app if you are looking for a fast reliable pie control. I would even go as far to say that it is better than a xposed Pie Control I used to use because you get so many options. You do have to get things set up correctly and I do wish the app could tell when it were overlaying a keyboard app so I don't mistakenly hit it by mistake or even not allow me to hit a specific key on the keyboard because the interaction area is to large. Either way I have found the sweet spot for this app and will continue to use immersive mode along side this app. Thanks devs!
Went from swipepad to this and never looked back. Works perfectly. Great app. EDIT: update has removed several features (although cloud backup is a good addition). Downgraded to 4 stars for negative changes, but still a great app.
APP sucks now. Did the dec change I've been using this since it was a root app only. It's gone soo far down hill. Sad but true. Hopefully find APK for old version online.
I've been using this app for a few years, and I have loved every moment, until recent updates removed functionality with no explanation. I have patiently awaited a fix or a reason for their removal, but there has been no acknowledgement of this change. Please bring back old features, or at the least, explain why they were removed.
Great Idea but wish the Rotate toggle was brought back The update has made Pie Controls very good, with many options for the pie, icons, text, and most things you can imagine. However, I do miss the Auto Rotate toggle button that could previously be added to the pie!
Problems in new update : ---------------1. pie size is too large, even I adjust its setting. -------------2.The long select time press is too prolonged (300 msec) oh no !!-----------other problem : I change new mobile phone to android 6 and found that this application is easily be killed by clearing recent task and will not be available for use (swift from the edge of screen then nothing happened !!)The app does not automatically open again and I must frequently open app to make it run in background, and certainly don't clear the recent task~~~~~~~~~~I think this may be occured from doze app of android 6 that control battery consumption and ram management-------------so I hope Dev will fix it soon. Thanks a lot
I like the idea, I don't like the execution. It would interfere with my keyboard and menu options on the web. Again, I like it it is adjustable but when I make it smaller it doesn't register.
I'd like it better if I had the option to make it only accessible from the home screen. I'm tired of accidentally activating it in games and other apps.
Its a good app but it just has a simple problem...with security....i hv locked my watsapp with the help of finger print sensor in coolpad note 3 but according to this pie app it opens without any security cheak....if u can understan the prob..
Why did you take away so many features? I can't set the long select delay below 300 and the "previous app" function doesn't work anymore either.... -rep
I've paid for the app, but I still haven't been granted premium status. I've tried contacting the developer, but haven't received any kind of response.
At last Paranoid Pie available for all devices. Your Android much more practical.
Fantastic app. I've been looking for something like this. The only things is missing are actions for the following: menu button, forward button and sharing button.
Seriously disappointed! I've used pie controls on a lot of devices as a root app. This version just didn't cut it. Uninstalling.
Absolutely stupid that you removed the flashlight function on this app. That was the 1 main thing I used for quick flashlight use.
Updated 5-1-17: This app is still my go to multitasking app. But my S7 Edge Nougat optimization app reports this app crashes more then 20 times in a week and wants to put it to sleep when I optimize my phone
Now back button doesn't work, please fix this because my on screen navigation is broken. Evercoss Android One X
Ever since recent update, now lost ability to toggle auto-rotate. Add it back and add option to go straight to the app drawer already! Still a great tool.
Gets disabled everyday. What's up with that. Do they want us to buy the full version thats why they follow such tricks
Really loved the app. Please bring back the jump to last app button and the torch /flashlight event as an experimental feature
Hello, Could you bring back the option to customize individual and folder icons rather than let the icon pack choose for us? Best Regards, Chris
Buggy detection. This launcher keeps going off by accident during games and yet it's difficult to invoke when needed, a truly awful user experience. The tools aren't very helpful either, I was disappointed to see no ability to toggle gps or airplane mode, what a shame. I disabled corners and made other changes and yet pie control does not remember what I changed! Looks like another app created during ameteur hour I hate to say.
Please add LOCK SCREEN function, I desperately needed it...hope u guys will add in upcomming release..!! Other features are way ahead of competitors....hatts off :-)
5 stars because I dropped my phone and cracked my screen and the square button doesn't work and I had probably 30+ open apps just chilling lol
Was one of my favorite apps up until the update killed a lot of the most useful shortcuts
Broken. Complains about permissions to draw over other apps. Unusable regardless of setting.
For some reason direct calling stopped working it just takes me to the phone screen now
Started working after update... fixed crash but screen rotate tool missing!
I have used pie control a lot over the years but for some reason now I can set it to bottom of page only to sides. Huawei mate 9 stock rom, not rooted. Please advice

The recent update wiped my settings so I had to go through and do it all over again but upon doing that I discovered some shortcuts gone. I used the auto-rotate shortcut the most and with it gone I don't see the point to keeping this app, shame it was a 5 star app for me before the update.
