Ratings and reviews

Square button to view or close open apps does't work. Which is why I wanted a navigation bar in the first place.

Well done to you who created this app .It is very good .Just one thing, How do I reduce the size of the navigation bar ?.Any thing apart from that is ok .Well done .😀

It does not adjust itself to make way for other system buttons to show
