Really great alternative to Android's inflexible 3 button navigation and swipe gestures. All I wanted to do is swap the Back and Recent buttons, but Android does not allow that. Using Simple Control is even better because it allows controls on the sides of the phone instead of having to bring my hands down to the bottom or to the top of a tall phone.

Saved my phone, thank you! My nav bar stopped responding and Simple Control was about as perfect an alternative as I could find. The configuration items are a little confusing and could use better explanations but once I figured it out I was able to use my phone again and, in fact, Simple Control made it even better. I only wish it was possible to replace the built-in nav bar altogether with Simple Control.

It's insane that LG pioneered customizable navigation bars, then samsung added this with their Nav Star app, but Android by default doesn't allow this by default, even though it's completely possible, but I digress. I miss having 5 buttons on my navigation bar from my old LG phones, and I miss being able to put them in any order I like, but thankfully this app is a solid work around. Android by default should have these features, though.
