Sidebar Pro

Sometimes we need to dismiss the bar and it would be great to have a button to do it inside the bar itself. Good for one hand operation... I Miss to much the ability to include shortcuts and widgets. Also, it should provide a way to reorder the apps and a shortcut to lock and unlock the bar. A backup settings is needed and it could work as a profile to allow multiple bars. App now is abandonware with no updates or support even for paying users . It is a great wasten idea. Developer does not respond to emails or users claims on reviews. Works well anyway

The specified swipe zone keeps shifting up and down after opening the sidebar 5-6 times...FYI: I have the swipe zone to be about 1.25" in the top half of the screen on the right side, to avoid overlap with the keyboard causing accidental opening of the sidebar while texting. It's a small bug but an annoying one. Thank you.

I have tried swapps , unity launcher, glovebox and this. Swapps is really good but no icon support. I paid money only for icon support but be warned there is nothing like that. This is false advertising and request developer to remove custom icons from features. No icon packs work with it. Why would you do this to your customers?

I have recently installed Pro app but I don't know its not working on my Redmi Note 3. Kindly help. I purchased it as it was good app to me. But no one responded to me. Again I installed the same in my Xiaomi Mi max still it is not working. Y can't you support n rectify this. Is this is the way you support to your customer. Very worst. No reply.

Update: No improvement in over three years. Developer not listening to user comments. Downgrading to 1 star. Paid for Pro but wasted my money. Moved to SideControl - great product! Does everything you could ask for.

I love this APP it's great for quick access to my apps and most used settings. I am hqv8ng issues with some of the custom settings not working after I have set them. I also can't seem to find the widgets or the running apps options. If it weren't for these 2 issues I would give this app a 5 star rating instead of 3. I have a SG4 W/4.3

Awesome app. I love that I can clear my home screen and actually see the picture I put on it. I used to use relaunch and they stopped development on it then all of a sudden my phone wouldn't let me use it. This app would be better if you could have folders for the people that use more than 10 apps, until then 4 stars.

Well, I do. It's flexible and quick. You can have your apps commonly used on top; and open programs on the bottom section. IT WILL SAVE YOU lots of time currently being used to flip threw multi-levels of screens. Over and over. I really like and depend on Sidebar

This is a great tool. I love it! One thing to add would be an auto sync widget Also the auto rotation lock button does not work as expected. When in portrait mode and you click the auto rotation button it rotates you to landscape and locks the rotation. I would think it would keep your current orientation and lock it in that position. Update: Thank you for fixing the rotation lock! Again great app!

Since 2013 I've been using sidebar Pro. I can't have an Android phone without it it just seems naked and so much harder to find your apps. If you like things neat concise and easy to find this is the app for you! Works well with Ubuntu mod launcher.

it works perfectly and I love this APP. Works pretty well on Gnexus 4. Only thing that I do not like is the fact that it appears on the notifications bar all the time, not possible to close or take off. This is really anoying (for me). the rest, fully OK

No way to rearrange icons after adding them to the sidebar. That's a basic function imo so I'm not sure why it's not available in a paid app. Also sometimes apps launch very slowly and at times not at all requiring a second press of the icon to launch. This is a constant on both my htc m7, LG g2, and nexus 7

Awesome, but I would KILL for the always-on option that: - is not overlayed, but side-by-side with the app, just like in MS Windows it resizes the window or like the bottom bar in Nexus devices - the option to have always-on only in landscape mode and overlay autohide in portrait. 100% multitasking for tablets. I would never turn on my laptop with such options. And I would pay LODSEMONEY for such featers. Think about it devs!

I am liking this app so far, I just wish they could make the activation point visible if wanted in a way that was not disruptive. Also I noticed that the icon pack are not working when I tried to switch the icon, it would be great if it would use the icon pack I am using with the Nova launcher by default.

I love this app and use it each and every day. Its one of my most used app. Therefore, you can understand why I hate it so much. The bar keeps sliding down on me during use and is always out of position even while the app is in the locked position. Get 5 stars by fixing this. Thanks.

Just wish I could use left and right sides simultaneously. Also, custom icons do not work. Nexus 5/4.4.1. Hasn't been updated in almost 2 months. Custom icons still don't work. Will give a better score once the Dev starts developing again.

Not sure about anyone else. But the app crashes at least five times a day. Not sure what happened. I paid for pro and it used to work like a champ. I have sent two emails about the crashes and nothing seems to have been fixed, nor have I received any sort of response.

I can only select "Dock Icons" from my purchased icon packs, so I'm forced to use stock icons and most non-google icons are ugly. Please fix this, the description of this app is pretty misleading. When others advertise customisable icons as a feature it almost always means using icon packs. Otherwise, I love the app. It's as stable as I was hoping and I have hidden my dock now and just use this.

really sad. this developer for a moment was doing well. then all his apps went to crap. poor attitude when you email him. though lately he doesn't even care enough to respond.

Sometimes I got to swipe 4-10 times to activate this app. Very ineffective. Update: I just decided to give this app another shot since I left my thought a few months ago. I must say I am now quite please to say the devs seemed to have listened and addressed the issue I've mentioned above. I've increase my rating to five stars. Good job.

Updated review: downgraded review to 1 stars from 5 due to bugs, no ability to contact developer, and lack of response to feedback: "recent apps" not visible on Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 Edition running Android 5.1.1. Also, when recent apps were visible (on tablet or phone), they would disappear when exited using the back button yet were still open when holding down the home button. Also, when switching to recently used app "Phone", I am not taken to the app and it becomes removed from "recently used apps".

The sidebar slides in fine but I have to touch an app icon 2-3 times for it to actually open. It's faster to just open my previous app tray than do this. Needs an update because it's currently a waste of money

Did work perfectly, then randomly wouldn't let me add an app. Reinstalled it and now i can add the app but the notification doesn't work... Reinstalled again and the notificafion still doesn't work. Wouldn't mind if i had the option to disable the notification. Please fix. Htc m7

It's almost perfect! 2 issues. 1) should have the ability to choose and apply an entire icon pack via the settings menu... The change-one-icon-at-a-time-from-the-side-bar thing is quite cumbersome and time consuming. 2) The aforementioned icon changing doesn't even work. Every time I try to select a different icon, doesn't matter what icon or for which app, it simply says "Error retrieving image".

It'd be great if you could arrange the apps and the running apps/indicator isn't working either. It also needs an auto hide function. I can leave or turn the screen off and back on and it'll still popped out? I expected more considering this costs money.

please refund my money, causing the touch screen on swipe area less responsive and drain battery so quick, email them but no respond, developer do not care about all this issues…this app is made by people who only focusing on making easy money.. uninstalled!

Having this makes things so much faster. I keep my most used apps available from anywhere without having to go back to the home screen and then going to the app drawer. You can't resort icon,but that is not too big of a deal. Since I've moved to Android 5.1.1 the os has been shutting down the application even with the notification icon cut on. I'll give another star if that is fixed.

Got the sidebar pro and everytime I try to change the icons it says error retrieving image. Stock icons look ugly I have icon packs for the sole purpose of having nice looking icons but if I want to use sidebar I have to deal with the ugly icons. I'd give it 5 stars if it wasn't for this issue

This is a great app but it's missing one important feature. The ability to rearrange applications on the sidebar by holding and dragging. As of now, if I have an app currently in the topmost position and I wish to replace it with a different app, I have to delete every app and then create an entirely new list of my desired app in the first position. This wastes a lot of time

Update: No improvement in over two years. Developer not listening to user comments. Downgrading to 2 stars. Paid for Pro but wasted my money. Moved to SideControl - great product! Does everything you could ask for.

Can't reorder icons, need to be able to add multiple apps at once, app list takes ages to load (other apps do not have this problem)

Very vital functions are missing from this app. There is no way to arrange icons in order of interest, move up or down. As a result Apps are every where and boring. There is no way to select multiple apps when adding apps to slider or drawer. Please add these vital functionalities for flexibility. Will be 5* when the above functionalities are added

Using SlimLP and it doesn't have the Ribbons feature.. Looking for an app that could do the same thing and found this gem. Its beautiful and works amazingly well with no lags or hiccups. My only problem is there's no way to change the icon with a theme pack. Every time I try to change the icon, I get the error "Error retrieving image". Really annoying not being able to simply set an icon from a theme pack. Tried both Kodev's Nox and Dekk packs with no luck.

Used this for several years, gave my phone an easy way to get to various apps and toggles. Unfortunately, the Verizon Lollipop update for the LG G3 has broken this app. It will load and work for a while, but then it stops. Guess I'll finally have to give up on it.

Definitely need to be able to organize the app order AND set the default scroll position when sidebar is opened. As it stands you can kind of organize by deleting everything and then adding each app in backwards order of preference (not easy unless you write it down). Still, when you swipe it open the least preferred app is at the very top so you have to scroll the sidebar to reach the very bottom. Continuous scrolling would be great for one handed operation.

Nice idea works good when you can slide out on home screen. 9 out of 10 times doesn't work on my droid maxx.

Good app. Does as advertised. Not perfect though, it does need the ability to rearrange icons within bar then I will give a 5 star.

This app runs very slow on note 3. For instance, when you open the app from sidebar, its very slow to open. Please fix!
