Looking nice!

EDIT: Maybe just to make effect going from left to the right. It will be more "natural" in my opinion.

thanks for the feedback, will definitely consider it on the next update :cyclops:

also big thanks for Iacopo91 for an Italian translation, will be added to the next update.

Nice! I love it

. Whats up with the free apps thing at the bottom of the actual side panel. Its ok in the settings, but very obtrusive in the side panel. Please remove it if possible.

A few feature requests if you don't mind:
1. Ability to add shortcuts would be great.
2. Two side panels would be awesome. One on left and one on right. One would contain all the apps and one would contains starred apps, recent apps and shortcuts.
3. Ability to jump into the app info of the current running app. Maybe you could add a button for this.

Dream App!

Thanks a lot for the detailed comment, now here goes :
1. I don't believe I'll remove the bottom panel as this is a free app, but on the other hand I'm thinking of removing the top panel with app name to make more room for apps.
2. Short cuts adding ability is definitely planned to next update
3. Two panels is an idea.. I'll consider it, thanks.
4. App info on running apps is a great idea! I'll add it maybe instead of the top bar

On my gs3, the Phone app isn't an available selection?

I think that should fall under the shortcuts category. So we might see it in the future release according to the dev.:good:

I've been informed of this bug, there's a problem with the app and the contacts app, for now make the contacts app starred, that will launch the dialer. I'll get to the bottom of that.

Thanks to all translators that are pming me, ill add it all to the next update.
The update will be our only at the end of next week due to some technical problems with my equipment,hope you understand..

Nice app! Found 2 issues so far

1. My launcher (LauncherPro) appeared under 'Recently Used Apps'. It should not be there
2- I have 4 Angry Birds game and they all appeared with the same name/icon

talhamid · Feb 4, 2013

Nice app, but almost identical to GYF app which has been active in this thread for weeks. Curious.

Re: [APP 2.3+]Swapps! Ubuntu inspired app drawer, just better

Really awesome app!!! One thing I would like to tell you (someone else probably told you too) is that the app does not show both camera and the phone app. Phone app isn't a huge deal but camera shortcut is super important for me. Thanks

Very good app, rated 5 at PlayStore.

As stated earlier, phone and camera cannot be added/do not show.

Also, I'd love to have a black background, or background color options. But all in all, I'm more than happy how it works, good job.

leongzxc · Feb 4, 2013

the UI on this is much better than GYF (for now).

but could you make it possible to remove the labels? and the ability to customize icons, size of the swapps panel

The launcher on recent for me is a quick home button (using lmt without nav bar) but ill see what I can do

haven't even heard of this app till people mentioned it in the comments...

Idea taken, will see how I'm adding it in next updates

On another note, ill mention again that due to technical issues the next update will be released at the end of next week. Sorry.
