Ratings and reviews

Pretty much the perfect fingerprint swipe app. Doesn’t take too much battery, and works like a charm. Easily customizable to your liking. ¶ I had it set up to swipe one way to get to the Recents screen the other way to go Back to an app, but as of Android 9 Pie this just activates the home screen. However, the newly added “Last App” action pretty much alleviates this, and is quite nice as a shortcut besides. ¶ Overall, fantastic app! I would pay money for this in a heartbeat. It’s arguably one of the biggest conveniences for my phone, now that displays are getting larger & larger. 5/5

Original Android Oreo review: Lovely, sweet, and simple. Does what it says without gaudy interface or ads or any other nonsense. Swipe left/right work, but down/up doesn't work with my Moto X⁴, but that's the same in other gesture apps so clearly not a failing of this app. That said, @dev: if you have any ideas on that, let me know! 🙂 Android Pie update: no longer works at all on my X⁴. Sad.

A+ The app appears to be fully compatible with Android 9 (Pie) as it is performing flawlessly on Pixel 3 XL. I suspect that the issues cited by many trying to run this with Pie are either conflicts with the OEM-skinned version of the OS, or possibly phones that don't have the native ability to support swipe actions.
