Ratings and reviews

I mean it's alright. Not as intuitive as One Hand Operation app for Samsung devices. But works as a substitute for my Pixel 7. -- Suggestion: I was hoping you can add additional rows for pinned apps, but you don't have that option. Bugs: The music player doesn't pop up as intended, such as YT Revanced. The app search function is strict. If you don't search the exact word, it will not find that app. -- Here is hoping the developer will take the feedback and improve upon it.

The app is useful, but I'm having an issue when Floating Dock is enabled. It seems to interfere with certain buttons in Google apps. For example, Google Play Store's "Manage apps" and Google Wallet's option to add a loyalty card can become unresponsive, making it impossible to complete certain actions. When I disable Floating Dock, these buttons work normally again. I believe the overlay/accessibility feature may be interfering with Android's protected screens.

Excellent app. Allows me to remove the favourite spa using Home Up and just have a little pop-up dock like this with some quick action toggles above. Very nice, very well done. Excellent work Mr. Developer. I would actually make one request, though. If the favourites could be two rows, that would be even better. Is there an option to add more quick toggles, like activating the hot spot and so on?

What’s new

Fixed
• QR scanner quick control now works on Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Pixel, and most other brands — with a fallback to the Google Play services scanner
• Onboarding and Settings now explain why the optional Accessibility permission matters — without it, taps can be rejected on protected screens in other apps
