Those with a Samsung device can download Trigger from the Samsung AppStore for the free version without the six gesture limitation.

Trigger just became even better than it already is!
Now introducing 2 New Panels: NotePad Panel, ClipBoard Panel!

Have you ever seen such a clean and beautiful notepad?
Now its easily one gesture away!

One Tip: For those who don't want to always have the Trigger icon on the screen, you can now switch to using Trigger as a Home Launcher.
Double Tap home to launch the gesture field, there's no need to keep the icon on the screen anymore.

:good:excellent app.. long tym user of trigger.. trigger pulling something that separate this app from hundreds of other gesture based Apps.. few suggestions from my point of view.. it will be handful if there is additional pull direction like southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest direction.. And also need additional SPL actions like back button simulation, kill task. kill all task, menu similar to aokp ROMs and lmt launcher app.. ..glad if they make into oncoming update..

Perhaps one of the best apps I've seen in quite a while. Seriously well done, from looking fantastic to being fantastic.

One constructive criticism, perhaps change the gesture panel enabler icon. Or allow us to choose another one. I personally wouldn't mind a simple grey translucent triangle that i could position in the top left corner of the screen. Unobtrusive and not unsightly at all.

Are you talking about the trigger icon?
Changing the appearance is actually a feature of the paid version.

must admit.. its a brilliant start... testing the app now...
one thing i noticed... If i keep the icon in the corner, like suppose the middle screen right corner then the swipe right option doesnt work..
similarly if its at the edge, like bottom right then the swipe right and swipe down options dont work
keeping the icon in the middle of the screen kinda defeats the purpose of it being unobtrusive .. just an opinion
(im on nova launcher with grid layout set to 6 x 4)

I'm afraid that's not something I can fix if the icon is placed in the corner or sides.
It's a trade off for putting them in certain locations.
Personally I keep mine close to the side, but with enough distance to still activate the actions.

However, maybe the next update will help.
Next update includes pulling the trigger in 8 directions! 4 more quick actions to work with, so it might make putting it to the side or corners more agreeable.

What's the battery drain like on this app? If it runs constantly on top of all apps, must be noticeable?

Barely any battery drain at all. The only part that runs on top off all apps is just the tiny icon. Nothing else runs unless you touch it.
You can think of it as just your app containing one additional image and even if you leave it there, it won't affect the battery.
Unless you choose to change the icon to display the time or battery instead. Then it's more active and might affect the battery a little bit.

Problem with the app

Hallo.
I've bought your app for my Galaxy Note 2.
At the beginning it worked but after few configuration it started to abort and at the moment it is impossible to use it.
Is there any known bug for Note 2?
Is it possible to have a working release?
Thank you.

I've replied to your message on Facebook and asked for more info.
Describe the bug you are experiencing.
Is it force closing or certain features are not working?

Hello, I've tried this app, awesome work and it seems to be extremely customizable.
However I can't think of a reason how this app can replace gmd, is it clipboard/note function?
Maybe you can emphasize on the differences to increase appeal of this app :)

    Not exactly though. something similar.. just need to attach detach trigger icon to any corners or side of the screen (bottom-left corner permanently with transparent invisible icon)so that with invisible icon its easier to pull trigger
    to remaining direction

    I'm not quite sure I understand.
    How is that different from moving the Trigger to a corner or side and giving it a near invisible icon image?




    Hi! Congratulations for this app! It's a fantastic idea!

    Does someone use Trigger the same way as me?
    As I can't find a good place to Trigger, I'd like to keep it occult by default, then shake the device to show it, pull Trigger to some direction to start an app and then hide Trigger again.

    But whenever I turn my device off and on, Trigger is shown, no matter its last state. Also, whenever my screen rotates, Trigger is shown.

    By the way, does this monitoring of the shake motion consume battery?

    That's the way I use to use it. Now that there's the home replacement, I switched to a triple click of home button instead of shaking.

    The bug about the Trigger showing is fixed in the next update.

    The monitoring consumes a slight amount of battery more than when it's not monitoring. The monitoring it's only active as long as the screen is on.
