About this app

Shake it! provides simple gestures to make easier to use your phone!

You can use both shakes to open applications and perform extra tasks like turning on the flashlight.

The app detects when is in a pocket so you don't need to bother that the flashlight turns on when you go for a run! 🤯

This awesome app has a sensitivity configuration to adjust it to the user strength and preference 😮😳

The gestures can be disabled from the settings screen or if you dont select any app!

The currently supported gestures are chop twice (shake your phone side away twice) and twist your wrist shake.

Here is one example configuration you can use with our application:

Shake Gesture: turn on/off the flashlight.
Twist Wrist: Open camera.

But feel free to try it out with your social networks and prefered applications.

*Important information:*
- Your phone need to have a gyrometer to use the application due to the twist wrist gesture.
- You must disable the battery optimization to have the application fully functional, without it Android will kill the app and you won't be able to access to your apps with gestures.

This is a free app 🚫💲🤑💵

Ratings and reviews

So far the best app of its kind that I've used. The shake works great and isn't overly sensitive like the other apps. My only hang up is the twist motion. It's very hard to activate it. If you do it exactly like the animation it works, but it doesn't work consistently. The amount of time I waist trying to get the twist function to work I would be better off clicking into the app like normal. All that being said, it's still the best app that I've found like this so hats off to the developer.

Exactly what I was looking for: A stand-in for the shake & twist controls on Motorola phones. I initially gave this app 1 star because it didn't work on Android 11, but contacted the dev who ended up being very helpful and fixed the issue quickly. Haven't run into any issues since the update - works great now!

This app is awesome, but some things need to be fixed. First, I can't change the sensitivity, because each time I move the slider and then leave the app, it returns to default. Second, the in-pocket detection doesn't seem to be working for me, so I keep getting my phone out of my pocket, unlocking it, and seeing my app. I think a nice feature to have would be for the app to stop when the phone is in sleep, so it won't do the actions, or at least make it a setting.
