User reviews

Users praise the app for its ease of use, stylish design, and effective gesture navigation without intrusive ads. It offers good customization and helps replace traditional navigation especially for those with hardware problems. However, common complaints include the limited side swipe area making gestures hard to reach, gestures occasionally stopping and requiring reboot, lack of options to disable gestures per app, conflicts when keyboard or notification bar is active, and unclear instructions for certain gestures. Overall, it's a well-regarded app with room for improvement in gesture area and app-specific settings.

Pros

Easy to use and very functional for gesture controls.
Free features without intrusive ads.
Good design with stylish and unintrusive UI.
Customizable gestures with several options for left, right, and bottom swipes.
Helpful for users with hardware issues or who prefer gesture navigation over buttons.

Cons

Side swipe gesture trigger area limited to half the height of the screen, causing accessibility issues especially for users with big hands.
Gestures sometimes stop working until device reboot or app restart.
Lack of an option to disable or pause gestures in certain apps, causing interference with app-specific functions like games or edge panels.
Issues with gestures conflicting when keyboard is active or notification shade is pulled down.
Swipe far gesture functionality unclear and not well explained, causing confusion.

Great app overall! I just have one problem, The area for the side swipe gesture goes just halfway till the screen, For someone with big hands like me it's difficult to reach down to the middle of the screen. It would be great if the developers increase the side swiping gesture area all the way up to the top, Or at least make it optionally available. Great app! Cheers!

Update: all the app shortcuts that I use with full screen gestures stopped working and they are not options after I reinstalled. What happened? This was perfect. I cannot seem to get any help if fixing it. Reinstalling doesn't change anything. Previous review: 5 stars: Simple but works better than most gesture apps without hidden fees. could use more features, but as it is its pretty elegant.
