Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app,probably close to the beginning of Android. If this app dates back to Honeycomb,then that's when I started using it. And since, I have never skipped downloading it to subsequent Android OS. Between phones and tablets I'm probably around, or beyond the 25th device. The free version is as good as it gets, robust. And I don't remember ever malfunctioning because of any updates. Simply put, this is an excellent addition to navigation buttons that may act cumbersome at times.

A question..... Will this app restore the menu button function in newer versions of Android? I want to use some older purchased apps that require the menu button that's been lost in recent Android versions. If not, would you possibly be able to add such a feature as this would make your app much more desirable, especially for us old users that still like to use older apps.

Issue with Galaxy Note 2, long press power button not working at all. Hope youbcan fix this in the next update. Issue as well with my Galaxy Note 8, when locked using the app power button, system detects thinks the phone was recently shutdown/restarted thus you are required to key in pin or password
