About this app

Command Stick™ is a floating widget operated by dragging through its four sections.
Fluid, patented, gesture-based controls significantly improve on Android’s standard UI by removing the need to reach for the notification shade, creating a far more ergonomic and flexible experience.

With the free version users can perform a variety of functions from the same small footprint, quickly summon CS to any location and fire off effortless commands from muscle memory. CS offers greater speed, efficiency and functionality by enabling seamless access to media controls, navigation flows and more. We have even enabled new functionality such as song skip previews – something currently unavailable through standard Android.

The paid version offers even more functionality and theme customisation, including the revolutionary command chaining system.

Ratings and reviews

Amazing app. It's a lot of fun to use. But the reason why I'm putting this as four stars instead of five is I don't like after you double tap it to close out of the wheel, it won't automatically go back to where you positioned it previously. And, I don't like when you go turn off the app, it loses the ability for accessibility access. Other than that, love it. It's a really well made app!

Hard to explain how much I'm enjoying it and I'm only using the free version. Once you get used to gesturing the commands it starts to make sense. I'm just worried about the subscription, I want to get the lifetime but I may miss the time frame. Definitely worth trying if you are thinking about it. I may just do a month to see what I'm missing out on.

This is a really cool app, and I like the customisation options available. However, the Cancel gesture needs to be reworked due to the stick "snapping" to options before your finger can go back to cancel the action. Update: I have, and there very much is snapping in the app. Just move your finger to select the Task Switcher and it will execute by snapping to it, you can't cancel the gesture.
