Just installed this and so far really enjoying it!
Was never a fan of the "pie controls" movement but this is an excellent replacement.

I do notice a bit of "lag" between gestures though

Nice job. The app works well and it's very responsive. Do you have plans to add support for shortcuts? Having the ability to link a gesture to a Tasker task for example would be very useful.

It works amazingly good. I was looking for a replacement for the clumsy GMD Gesture Control app which started to annoy me about 6 months ago.
Would love to see this app growing into something amazing, with an option to cycle between apps with nice gestures from left and right (with cool animations added), plus a tablet gestures support such as those GMD offer.

Don't know what makes you call GMD clumsy. Its a great app as is this. GMD is certainly more feature rich atm, but this app has a great future too. Keep up the good work.:good:

Great job, seems like the perfect app for me. I love Pie Controls but as I love being minimal, I like this even more! A few notes:

  • There seems to be a delay between the gesture and the action
  • When switching between last used apps it actually circles your currently open apps instead of switching between the last two apps (for example going into messenger, double click to go back to chrome, then if you double click it doesn't go back to messenger but to another open app)
  • My language when selecting the position of the nav bars is Italian (everywhere else is English)

There seems to be great potential for this app, I hope it develops :)

Good job! Looks like a good app with great potential. I was using Apex and love the gesture, but now since I switch to a N5 I have been using the Google Now Launcher. So this app might fill in the gap. May I suggest you add the "notification" to the action list? Also, I'm not sure what is the "Menu Button" is...when I try that it brings up the home edit screen...

Great work ! Iam looking for Gesture based launcher with SingleFinger like this!
If possible, QuickPanels and Notification access features are helpful for GEL user (as me).

I would like a bottom bar for trigger but only in the middle, or just a resize button for bottom bar, to trigger only when swipe up from home button. Hope you understand.

Hi,

Loving your new app but I do have one issue - I have the bottom bar launching my "Screen off and lock" app to quickly lock the screen from within any app. For some reason one time in 5 I get "I cannot launch desired app" (see screenshot). Have you seen this and do you have any suggestions on how to fix?

Regards,

Neil

+1 I'd also love to see support for shortcuts. App is running great on my SGS4, occasional (minimal) lag. Not a bother, and it may just be Android itself... Thanks much!

Shortcuts like internet site??

Inviato dal mio Nexus 4 utilizzando Tapatalk

Sorry, I should have added more information, not just the post I quoted... :eek:

No, not Internet, but shortcuts such as when you long-press on a Nova launcher homescreen - such as a Tasker task, Secure Settings action, Greenify "hibernate now", or direct message, to name a few I see in the pop-up menu. And FWIW, bookmarks are available in the shortcut menu, so Internet is there...

Thanks!
