Who can benefit from this application?

▶ Tech freaks, which want to have the latest features on their device
▶ People with small hands or huge smartphones, it is much easier to expand navigation bar from bottom of screen, than from the top.

▶ People who use their smartphone with gloves or have problems touching the normal soft keys. The sensor area of this app is customizable, so everyone can find the perfect size.

Currently these gestures are available:

▶ Multiwindow (Android 7+)

▶ Numerous other actions

These features set Gesture Control apart from the competition:
▶ Possibility to create an infinite number of sensor bars
▶ Possibility to disable individual sensor bars in certain apps
▶ Possibility to activate individual sensor bars only in certain apps
▶ Configurable gesture detection
▶ Sensor bar color configurable per app (Pro)
▶ Possibility to start other apps per action (Pro)
▶ Possibility to split sensor bars into up to five parts (freely configurable, Pro)
▶ Unique stability and reliability
▶ 100% offline, no internet permission, highest possible data protection

In order to provide the above-mentioned functions, the applications uses accessibility services features.

To make the visibility and appearance of the sensor bars in individual apps customizable, and to display and launch installed apps, the app needs access to the list of installed apps.

Privacy is important to me. This application will not send any personal data to the developer or anyone else.

If you like my app, I would be very happy if you have a look at the donation/pro version (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conena.navigation.gesture.control.pro).

Ratings and reviews

Very customizable and a comprehensive list of features compared to similar apps. Option to hide the stock navbar already included. It's pretty reliable as long as you make sure battery saver doesn't kill it. The free version has no ads and is useful on its own but the pro version is well worth it for the added features

Excellent, much more responsive to Tasker shorcuts than other alternatives (by ways of "Plugins & Shortcuts"); well worth the Pro license. The only issue I have is that keyboard adaptation is not working. I'm using GBoard on my OnePlus 12, with a right side bar, and I'd like it to be "Above the keyboard" but the bar doesn't move when the keyboard appears. I even applied the "keyboard adaptation fix" in the "Tweaks and fixes" menu in "General" to no effect. I hope this is fixed soon.

Good App, but needs refinement. When is comes to gesture zone detection and customization, this app seems to be the best so far. My only complaint is I don't like the click/tap gestures, they don't always register on my OnePlus 11. The double or triple taps doesn't always register or miss register as a single tap if not done super fast. I wish we had double swipe gesture. For example on a right side bar, up/down then left or left followed by up/down.
