This is a very useful, versatile app. I especially like the "Pull & slide" gesture capability, to just slide to adjust volume & brightness. I would rate 5 stars, if there was some setting to adjust (shorten) the distance the edge overlay has to be pulled in, for the "Pull & slide" gestures. If there is such a setting & I've missed it, please let me know. Then I'd rate 5 stars.

long time user. always the 1st app installed. really like the Tap Through option now. Sliding back and forth using the Browse Recent Apps gesture has always been unusable for me. I'm not sure if it's just the size of the small icons or the sensitivity. wish you really had to slide your finger more to the side before it would actually start scrolling to the left or right. still love the app man. party on.

Update: App has recently become very unstable on OnePlus 15 on Android 16. I have to force quit and relaunch it constantly. Please increase the ability for it to relaunch itself. Also there's a new bug where the edge zones don't get pushed up when the keyboard is open! Would also love a option to customize the height with the detect prior to system swipe option on. Even if it had to be root-only.

It's a restriction of the Android system. Without such restrictions, malicious apps could disable system gestures.
