Great app for controlling your device quickly and efficiently. I am wondering if there is a way to correct the issue with opening an app, I am getting a delay message occasionally saying "delayed by Android system for 4 seconds". I'm assuming it's a limiting security feature in the operating system (pixel 2, Android 9.0). Besides that it's always been great, highly recommend

For security, Android does not allow for 3rd party apps to launch another app for 5 seconds just after you come back to the home by the home key. So, you cannot launch immediately an app from this app just after coming back to the home. Thanks.

This app is reason enough to have an Android phone vs. an iPhone (where none of this is possible). I am now able to use my phone much more easily with one hand. For example, I can screenshot with a simple long press. I can view notifications by swiping closer to the bottom of the phone, where my thumb is. This app is amazing and allows remarkable customization. Thank you for your service to users around the world.

Been using for 3 years and couldn't live without it. All my friends are amazed how easily I get to the screen I want by just flicking my thumb. it's also great because no one else can use your phone because they don't know how to control it. LOL I've disabled all the lower Android buttons so the only way to use my phone is the swipe from the right.
