• Draw custom gestures to launch apps instantly
• Open websites, deep links, and Android actions with a stroke
• Trigger useful phone actions like flashlight, camera, timers, settings, media controls, volume, brightness, and more
• Build Flow Glyfs with multiple steps and conditions
• Start Glyf from a home screen widget, persistent notification, or Quick Settings tile

app review I was interested in trying this out for a bit, but found it has a limit of 2 and then demands $9.99 to do anything additional. Sorry, this app is not worth that price tag IMO and will uninstall Edit: You changed your response from email for a promo code to now say "it is clearly listed on the Play Store description", but it actually is not. The "About this app” does not mention a limit of just 2 in the free version/trial or purchase of $9.99.

This app is very useful for quickly launching apps or different actions like turning on the flash light with drawing gestures. I use this app daily as it helps me quickly access my apps without searching through app drawer. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a quick way to launch apps and perform other actions without going through the app drawer or settings.

Excelsior. This is soooooo good. I wanted something like shortcuts for my android but with gestures. And this does it so beautifully. Although allowing 2/3 flows would be awesome for a free user. But really, what an awesome execution.
