Ratings and reviews

Coming from Fluid Navigation Gestures, I love that the developer is active. The thing that got me to switch was that the Last App Switcher works properly on One + Gestures and was very buggy on Fluid NG. That being said, I miss the animations (which are coming soon), the ability to keep the navigation bar when typing, and that the volume changer wasn't hidden in landscape mode. Great app that's worth the purchase!

Almost perfect, until it causes your phone to freeze up. VNG allows you to take control of gestures, even correcting the problems with Android 10's gestures (for example, the swipe from the left). However, on my OnePlus 6, VNG appears to be responsible for intermittent instances of profound lagging. If I turn VNG off, then back on again, the lagging ends. Hence, I cannot rate this app 5 stars. For its features, though, I still have to recommend it.

a decent alternative to samsung's one hand operation+, although not as customizable, I still find it very capable. losing Goodlock was the main concern for me when switching away from a galaxy phone, but this certainly made it easier for me to fine-tune my phone to my liking. I do wish there's a function to directly change the volume using gestures, like swipe diagonally up for volume up and diagonally down for volume down. just an idea
