I've been using slide for maybe 30 minutes now? I really like it but I do have a gripe with it's appearance. The black background behind the icons is really distracting. And for some reason, certain icons don't completely fit within the dark circular area. If the dev could add icon pack support that would be pretty amazing too, but I think it's a pretty far out request. All that aside, while I think the appearance of the slyde icons could use some work, I really love how quick it makes accessing apps. I've been looking for something liek this for a while and I'm glad I found it.

Can not install on Galaxy S6. Alas!

This is a great app to quickly launch the apps regardless of what app or screen you are looking at. Although sometimes it forgets the location that I placed it on. Please fix the location and also hide the app while watching videos in YouTube, just like the Facebook Messenger chat bubble hides in full screen mode.

Its better now that my screen is not cluttered. I can get to my apps without looking through menus. Seriously can't function without it now lol

L70%
by L####:

Very nice app. But just wish you can launch it from the left side also.. Instead of right side only. Also it would be better if the icons were a bit closer to the launcher. It's a longer slide on bigger phones.

My brother downloaded this app and I don't have the option to refund...its a good app but I have another app that does the same thing so I don't need this, thanks in advance

For several months now I have been telling and asking for a fix regarding Slyde not working on the Samsung Galaxy S5, with absolutely ZERO response. Not even a 'go to Hell', or anything at all. Also I have asked if I might be refunded, but of course, NOTHING. It's not so much that I spent money on this app, it's the principle of it all. This developer is just completely awful and could care less, obviously. Forget about respecting those that put money in their pocket. We don't matter now that you got our $!

Still has the same bugs from release. Better alternatives are out there

Shoulda known better

Awesome app, but it misses the feature to change the position of the pin. I want to move it to the left side and to have the apps in the right side. Also it doesn't start automatically when I start my phone.

This is amazing, I've never switched between my favorite apps so fast! Love this

Super useful, great way to make chosen apps easier to multi task with

Love it! Easier to switch between my favorite apps

by M####:

I like the simplicity of the app. Quick and responsive. It would be nice to be able to move the shortcut bubble closer to the start bubble as even on a Nexus 5 it feels like a far slide.

M70%
by M####:

Some good fixes, but it keeps getting killed by itself.

M70%
by M####:

When started, my screen goes blank for about three minutes, then I get a message that the application has stopped. No refund button, even within first 15 minutes after purchasing. Glad I only wasted 99 cents.

No updates? Seriously?

R70%
by R####:

Works great now with update, stays where it is when closing other apps

O70%
by O####:

When I close the app, like swipe it away. The bubble goes away. waste of a dollar

H70%
by H####:

I think it is very easy to use however I would like the ability to move where the app icons are and change how many there are. Apart from that it is great!

H70%
by H####:

Great app. Only thing I would like is for the app icons to be closer to the circle. That was, it's a lot easier to use with one handed use. It's near impossible to use one handed with the top two apps with having to slide so far up

R70%
by R####:

When in Immersive mode the app doesn't display properly, also add a blacklist.

R70%
by R####:

Handy tool to have. Only drawback is some icons are visible when in full screen mode

R70%
by R####:

I like the app and the idea behind it. That's why I spent a dollar on it. However why doesn't it start automatically on reboot? I have to launch it manually every time I restart my phone. That sucks! Please fix.

Y70%
by Y####:

Useful app. Would be even more useful for left handers if the positions of the trigger and the 5 buttons could be reversed

A70%

Does what it should. I would love to see some control over the appearance of the bubble though.

Switches between apps super fast and it's easy to use.

Nice, simple app that does what it says. No problems so far. Would like to recommend an option for the app bubbles to appear closer to the Slyde button for one-hand use for larger phones.

Won't stay open

My Moto X has a small bezel and with a case it becomes more difficult to press the circle. Can you give users the option to move the circle towards the center a few mm.

R70%
by R####:

Nice and clean app. Simple. It would benefit from more personalization. For example, give an option to adjust the distance between the circle launcher and the apps, that way, if you are doing it with your thumb, you could reach it better. Also, if the fan of apps could be relative to the position of the launcher. For example, if the launcher is on the top, the fan of apps open lower on the screen. Option to maybe blur or darken the background. Option to add more than 5 apps.

Love the concept of this app and it is very useful. Force closes sometimes on my Note 3 and that get's a little frustrating but overall I love this app.

V70%
by V####:

If you're like me and have an S4, the app switching is awful. It takes a 3 second delay holding down the home button to bring up the app draw. This app provides a much better way of switching between your favorite apps without ever having to return to the home screen. - Non-obstructive, light weight, does what it says on the tin. Still 5*, but just some polishing touches will make this app better. I.e, when you go to slide towards an App Orb, they glitch around slightly. Not really an issue but would make it look sleeker if little things we're fixed. P.S - Next update please include the feature to move to right hand-side of screen.

Works well but needs to launch on boot, so need the option to chose if you do or not

Z70%
by Z####:

Definitely started to notice if you bugs. First thing I noticed is that the app does not stay active , and will shut off randomly and will always become inactivated when you restart your phone. Secondly, I noticed that my icons especially the bottom icon slightly peeks out from the bottom of my phone when I am in immersive mode, or anytime that my nav bar disappears.

S70%
by S####:

Makes switching and opening apps super easy. Clears Home screen for a clean look. Unlike others I kinda like the black icon background. I would like more than 5 apps, but very happy overall.
