Side bar not opening. The only time the side bar opens is once you have hit the app icon or after re boot. But then only for a short time. So not much use for me.

Bought the new note 4 edge and grew to love the edge toolbar so much that when I realized Verizon had not updated edge to allow me to both browse Internet and talk on phone at same time I had to return the phone. So I got the note 4 and had to get the sidebar feature back and the ray pro software did the trik. Only suggestions would be to have notifications automatically popup in the sidebar similar to what the note edge phone did. Also I loved to be able to answer my phone calls on the edge toolbar also.
