Ratings and reviews

Works as advertised. The app makes for one brilliant experience, stretching everything across both screens of an LG phone. I only wish the dev would add the capability to force apps to open in wide view. The use case for this being a word processor or livestream app. Being able to jump directly to a document with the keyboard spanning the entire lower screen is a dream come true, but this always requires multiple taps and swipes to set up.

Thank you! This is a great addition to the G8x and adds a lot of functionality. A couple things which would make it even better are if the wide mode persisted more, if I back out of a menu or load content inside an app and go back, it switches back to split screens. The other is I use the Kindle reader app but it doesnt let me have multiple columns in wide mode, though that is probably something you can't do much about, unless you can get it to recognize as a wide display.

Wow this is fantastic on my LG V60. Still has issues and reverts to normal mode when you use gestures, but as proof of concept it's amazing. I added it to my Microsoft Launcher Dock, so I just swipe up from the bottom and toggle it, instead of swiping down from the top (my fingers aren't long enough to do that easily with the V60). If the kinks get worked out, I would pay for this app in a heartbeat. Well done!!!
