Multitask Shortcut- screenshot thumbnail

Description

Do you hate long pressing the home button?
Now with ICS, you really want to use this feature a lot.
Strangely, it is not possible to create a shortcut to this, android does not expose it as an activity.
Get to it quicker, a lot quicker, I would recommend using it with Widgetsoid as shown in the video.

Apologies in advance for not making this free. I have a baby coming and would love to support him in anyway possible. Thanks.

Fantastic, but... Doesn't work when the status bar is hidden on the Nexus 10, although it works wonders on my S3 with home2shortcut. Really was hoping to use this with GMD Gesture Control to get rid of the pesky onscreen keys, but I'll live. Keep up the good work.

Works great No permissions needed. Coupled with home2shortcut app I can double tap my home button to launch the task manager. Holding the home key still brings it up though. Would like to reassign that function.

Gem! Perfect app, does just want its needed for! Only thing is maybe the icon could be made a little bigger as it looks strange with my other icons in the dock, thanks!

Well worth the 50p! Now I can quickly switch between apps using my wireless mouse. I just had to remap one of the buttons using the "Multilanguage Keymap Redefiner" app. Perfection!

Fantastic Exactly what I was looking for to replace that awful home button on my Note 2. Well worth the price and more...great job developer.

Perfect Dropped my droid maxx and cracked the corner with the multitasking button, leaving it unusable. This app replaced it perfectly! Worth the price, thank you

Great! I damaged my S5 Active and the recent app key no longer works. This let me assign the recent app function to my "active" key, which I never used anyway. Saves me a repair :)

Exactly what I was looking I cannot stand the press and hold funtion for S3. This does the trick. Thank you.

Problem - Used with Home2 Shortcut I have a problem. TouchWiz is showing up in my Multitasking Menu when I use it with Home2. How do I fix this?

Works Great This is exactly what I needed for my Nokia X. It was probably something so simple to code that I don't know if it really should be a paid app instead of something to share with everyone, but for pocket change it really does make the android experience better and works as described.

Very practical. The app doesn't do much - just exactly what is needed. Simple yet immensely helpful. Definitely worth the small price!

Great The only thing letting my Galaxy s3 down was the slow multitasking button! Not anymore.. Thanks great app!

John Goldsmith September 24, 2013

Great idea and solution Perfect, this is Sooo much better than holding the home button for a few seconds. WELL worth the install and will be on every phone from now on... GS4

Doesn't integrate well at all with home2. Want money back!!!

A Google User October 16, 2012

cheers! no more long press on the home button!

A Google User October 17, 2012

Great Works as described, happy :) I recommend using this app with widgetsoid and virtual button bar (rooted users).

Not showing thumbnails Would be great, but app switcher doesn't show the thumbnails. Please fix this. Flyme 3.5 Meizu mx3

Very Nice app Hope you can make it on the notification panel by default without using other app. Still great though. Keep it up.

Joseph Hutchinson November 14, 2013

Does what it does perfectly If you want a shortcut to recent apps, this does it! Has worked flawlessly for months.

Works As Expected Awesome app for my note 2

A Google User July 23, 2012

Does what it says. App is usual on phones without a multitasking button.

Alvin Hoe December 16, 2012

Awesome Awesome. Protects your home button. With this app, I hardly use the home button anymore. 5 stars.

A Google User July 3, 2012

Works good on S3 Works as advertised. Help switch apps fast without using home button.

Works like a charm Combined with another app on the playstore, and it works like a charm. Amazing, and convenient app.

A Google User October 24, 2012

Jay Great app. Works perfectly

A Google User August 3, 2012

Corrects mistake Samsung made with S3 This is a fantastic app. I tried to make something like this with Tasker but was unable. The idea of having to long press a home button to get to this info was a terrible choice by Samsung. Thanks for making an app to correct their mistake! Worth the $.

Worth the money for samsung users! I give it 5 starts, because its only 10k of app, no adds, and the only thing i need, is a way to use the shrtcut from the notification bar, the way i have "home butten" installed...
