Slide Launcher

This is a top app. It's simple but very useful and looks good with plenty of custom options. For those who are worried about losing Google Now just add Google Now to one of the shortcuts. One tap extra and sorted. And people it's free.

That's the best single reason to install this. With a swipe from the bottom of the screen I can access my customized list of shortcuts. The one thing I would love to see is to be able to get to the shortcut without first having to lift my finger from the swipe action.

So I have a physical button phone and I understand it won't work but I got it to work who gestures. But the purpose is defeated I believe in an app. The gestures via Nova won't work in another app such as YouTube

This is good but crash some time. Love the idea. Wish that I don't have to lift my finger to choose the app I want.

I used to use 1Tap app for icons on my notification.. But this makes everything so cool and hidden. I have nothing to complain except that it's free? Haha.. Amazing.. Good job.

I'm a mad themer/ROM updater/device breaker, and this fantastic app gives me quick access to my regular utility set, apps that i use often but don't want on my home screen. Works just the way I set it up to work, no matter what else is going on with busted fonts or crashing launchers or whatever. An absolute must have.

Cannot choose my own wallpaper, without layouts for left handed and bad layout for right handed with big screens, fancy animations that cannot be disabled nor changed and developer does not answer mails.

I can't choose my own Wallpaper, it crashed everytime.. Otherwise this application is very good.

:) what about having tabs or something that separate these apps from these apps. something like, when i drag the launcher to the upper left it opens a folder or something for these apps and to the right the other :)

It is a very cool app. The main problem is that it can be a little glitchy at times, otherwise it's as good as it gets

But seems to affecting device deep sleep. Deep sleep is half after install. Unable to verify since kitkat not compatible with wakelock detector.

1. Let me put targets where I want. Like on a home screen. Don't force me to keep a certain arrangement. 2. Even trying to open the setting for background image causes the app to hang. 3. Slightly slow start up. But I love swiping up from the home key (I don't use Google now) 4. Would be cool to continue the swiping motion to end in a target (without lifting my finger)

Great app! I use it to launch in halo when I want to send a message or look something up and don't want to close underlying app. One thing, if you have a physical home button, this won't work. On my s3 I have multi window from the back key and kill app on menu so I couldn't use the swipe feature. What I did was set up pie launcher to launch this app and it goes right to the selection screen. Works like a charm!

One minor improvement can be about choosing how it is launched...current methods seem a bit restrictive as I use paranoid android in expanded mode and have no home button to swipe up from. Other than that minor quirk it is great....

This is a nice alternative to pie, looper, edge, and other almost perfect side launchers. I would love to see custom placement of icons as it proves uncomfortable to select bottom row icons with the thumb and using 1 hand. I'd also like to see an arc option to curve in either direction, again because I like left hand holding with thumb access to all icons. A long press option, would also be welcome. I'm glad it has access to all the settings and custom ROM settings, which pie does not.

Swipepad launches faster solely because of its hotspot feature. While I like the theme and customizations, I'll hold off just because the home button search launch feature is to time consuming compared to others.

No point addin this app at present time. Great idea just not fot S4

Default launches in landscape on KitKat (Nexus 4). Can't force into portrait. -- Update: notice that this only happens from the desktop, else it's fine.

ZTE WARP SEQUENT N861. Swipe up from home key does nothing. Not sure the problem, but likely my device is the issue.

So I went through hell when I swapped to CM12 on my Note. Using this in conjunction with almost any other app as a launcher for S Pen is PERFECT. A few things like control of dimming and stuff would be nice , an arch from left/right setting would be even better.

I was searching for this kind of launcher. I m simply amazed with its performance plus it does not eats my ram and battery.Its the second best app I have liked after pie control pro.But launching it on samsung devices by long pressing home button is a bit time consuming(instead i have put shortcut in pie control & voila! Now its launching hell lot faster).Its really needs a hotspot.But still needs more polish :-)

Even after making all possible attempts I could not make it work. Some finally uninstalling.

Good idea and potentially very useful, but when I launch it, there is a small delay between the swipe action and the launcher starting. There is a small pause of about 0.5 seconds after swiping up, small but noticeable, this ruins the experience for me.

As others mentioned it is a great idea, but makes unfortunately it completely unusable in the nexus 5 because you would have to give up the google now quick access. Would definitely be 5 stars if a custom swipe region could be defined.

I especially love how I can have a launcher set, and this is an add-on to my home button so it is like bringing my normal launcher to the next level, however I am running on a brand-new Android 5.1 tablet (Lenovo Tab2 A8-50F) and I don't even support custom backgrounds which is definitely a bummer and is wierd because my device is very good.

nice useful app, has potential.... BUT it's not supported on the most popular android phone, aka Galaxy S4... no nav bar, no camera or search button?

Needs to be able to Swype directly to shortcut otherwise not really more useful than going back to home screen.

I've had a love/hate relationship with this app, but I always come back to it. I realize now how perfect it is, even though it takes the functionality away from my home button's long-press. However, that is what's great about it. Because it is activated via long-pressing the home button, it does NOT have to be constantly running in the background, which is great. Also, I don't have to worry about an invisible target button blocking access to anything on the touch screen that is behind it, like other apps.

When chooses too many apps the icon grouped to the center of the screen... but it's super good ^^ sorry for my bad english

Almost bought another app, thank you for making use of a feature that lacks features, maybe itll be implemented on the android Muffin next time. : )

Really pleased I found this app, its just what I've been looking for, and the customisations are brilliant. However, I seem to have issues with assigning some apps to it. When I try and add the camera or calculator or clock it give a broken target. It looks like its only for LG's apps, as I'm using an LG G3; third-party apps work fine.

Works great except the asp consistently crashes when I have an icon theme applied and try to select a custom icon for some app that doesn't have one defined in the icon pack

Very useful. I don't use the Now launcher so much, so didnt miss it being replaced. This is the way I launch apps now, so very few apps on my homescreen now.

yet can't use it :D ... i don't have a camera button or search button ... i did remap never worked .. i hope you figure another way to toggle it :)

I can't say too much as I can't really use it: no support for hardware buttons. I'd like to activate it by holding back, only hard button slot I don't currently use.

I don't like having screens of screens of apps, I have one blank home page and a moving dock with my most used apps on. This mini launcher means I can put my next most used apps, or a group of media apps only available with one quick swipe. Lots of ways to customise it too. Nice work developers!
