Can you please add an option to disable the swipify launcher?
I have more than one launcher installed, to try out which is best atm (all are still in development i guess).
The other launchers have options to disable them, which is needed if you try out another launcher (same gestures).

Swipify - Android Wear Multitasker & Launcher

In this BETA release, I have added

Radial Launcher (multitasker style). Now swipe from left edge of the screen, take your finger to the app you want to launch & let go to launch the app.

• 6 apps are shown in each batch of Radial launcher. To see next batch of apps, take your finger back to the left edge of the screen.

• Multitasker & app launcher optimizations.

Somewhere in Wisconsin
Just tried it with the radial dial...and well it didnt work. The app I would swipe my finger to is completely different then the app that launched. For instance, I would move my finger to the Fit app...on the top of the screen, it would list some other app, and launch that lol

Nice app. Have a few issues.
Wi-Fi teather toggle doesn't work. Works fine with wear mini launcher. n5 stock 4.4.4 w/gravity box.
Also concerning ware mini launcher, I like how their 'find phone' feature just produces a chirp instead a blasting ring tone.

All I can say is check you have 1.9.1 (older versions were kind of hit and miss), it works ok on my Note 3 press WiFi tether get a double circle and it is on press it again it turns off (can not confirm the n5)

This app has been tested on Nexus 5 by a few testers & it seems to be working fine on their device. Try updating the app.
As far as ringtone volume is concerned, In my opinion, a "little chirp" sound defeats the purpose of finding phone, if under certain scenarios this chirp is not listened by the user.
