Ratings and reviews

works great. it has more gestures than Samsung's one hand operation, but doesn't support as many shortcuts. it also limits you to an annoyingly small handle if you want it to work with Android's native gestures. You can get around this by using both one hand operation and edge gestures, though. overall it barely ekes out one hand operation. Edge gestures would be perfect if it had more system shortcuts (pause/mute media) or if the existing ones (scroll to top/split screen) worked

All launchers are reverting to usage lacking some basic things such as setting extra pages/windows or just simple useability as implemented in the original android launcher design. Plus, all brands have different navigation arrangements. Egde Gestures is a powerful utility with lots of functionalities built in to address many navigation problems. It fills a lot of the gaps created by the recent launchers and the fractured android phone market. I could not efficiently use android without it.

I checked troubleshooting in the common section, it did not fix my issue: recent apps gesture randomly stops working. It worked for about a month and the past 48 hours it will not work. I have tried restarting phone, uninstalling amd reinstalling the app, changing recent apps to a different gesture. I don't understand why it just stopped working. All other gestures work except "recent apps".
