I like this app. I hate having direct accesses on main screen (that's why Huawei is big NO for me) so this kind of apps has been a MUST for quite some time. So far my experience has been a good one, there's one little "but" tho. Every time i touch de circle to display my apps it moves, at the end of the day it end up on the bottom of the screen. Isn't there a way to fix it to the screen so it won't move. Considering buying "Pro" if that is corrected on it.

Limited functionality. Can't edit the random order the apps appear in. Can't have a layout I like (I find scrolling through a long list to be unusable, so I prefer a grid view). Way too many ads in the free version. I get that I can upgrade to get rid of them, but there's a reasonable way to do ads and then there's ads on every click that are super annoying. Plus the lack of functionality prevents me from even considering the upgrade.

Very good! My favorite side bar app doesnt work on my new phone, but this one is great! One option i would love to see added is: Change the bar from circle to a normal sidebar or "rectangle". The circle is nice, but you can fit more apps on a straight bar and they are directly accessible, without needing to scroll. (Could be a pro feature, i would buy it)

Have used this app for a very long time. I'm always looking at other sidebar apps in hopes of finding one better than this one, but they all come up short. Love it. Just wish we could choose a different layout other than a circle. Perhaps a horizontal format where we can swipe left and right to scroll through our apps. That would be beautiful

Although the idea of this side bar is very good and fairly neat looking, androids 10s new gestures have made it difficult to use this app. Futhermore the app tends to stop working and needs to be relaunched. The reason I give this only 1 star though is due to the sheer amount of obtrusive vide adverts that pop up on your screen and you have to wait 5 seconds before you can continue, sure I could pay the 2 quid to put them to rest, but until the other issues are fixed its just not worth it.

Great app. Just a small bug to report and a suggestion. When you have 2 or more apps with the same name (like lens or camera) it is impossible to add both of them in the list. I believe that you also have to add the option to reset the launcher to the root menu on each launch. Otherwise if I navigate in menu>camera submenu and then on the next launch it automatically goes there I have to exit the submenu to nav to new spot.

Useful app, I used to have a Samsung so I was very used to swiping from the side to bring up my app tray now I can do it on my pixel 4! My only question is how can I change the folder icon, it's a very low quality and looks terrible beside the other icons. I want to organize my apps into folders but it's hard to tell what folder is what without having the name of the app beside it (I have text set to off)

this was great until recently. the side bar would not open up. must be a bug. i have it set to the bottom right side where it would open up to fill the ride side at full length. now its as if it os disabled on the rightsise. i tried moving it to the left at the same dimensions and placing.. it would open up hiwever it opened at the top at a smaller scale about 1/3rd the full length. please let me know how i can resolve this issue. i believe i paid for the premium version. thank you

It was working great. Then I bought the Pro version, and right when it started downloading is when my phone started crashing. My phone now totalled. It turns on, but it keeps restarting after like 15 seconds of not even being able to load the home page.

Works great and as advertised. The only feature that's lacking is the ability to reorder the apps in the sidebar, a feature you get with the pro version. I definitely recommend upgrading to the pro version, it's well worth the few Euros.

Kel. S. Apr 20, 2019     

It's fine and does what's advertised. Because the most useful and needed features are only available in the pro version it's hard to sya if this layout really works well. I won't buy the pro version before trying it and the dev doesn't offer a free trial.

I quite like this app, although I still have to try some others. One complaint I have is the big notification on the lock screen telling you it's working. It can be disabled, but then the app crashes

Amb. L. Sep 24, 2019     

Great app collector for all the apps ur edge panel won't hold. The regular samsung edge app panel only does specific apps created for it but the circle side bar will hold all the apps and folders u install or create on ur phone. Better than the apps page where u have to dig thru all the apps u have.

This is usually a fantastic app but in the last week or so it's stopped working to get it working again I have to click on the app and then it starts working again I tried messing around with the permissions and the battery settings but it's not working is consistently as it once was

Ahm. M. Mar 3, 2019     

very good app, please add the following features: 1. organize the icons ( l should be able to decide whats up and whats down), 2. the message that appears on the notification menu is annoying, should be an option to deactivate it

I really like the idea and the way it works but sometimes when you open some apps takes time to load them . Please fix that otherwise is great !

Dav. T. j. Jul 26, 2021     

If you're looking for any type of sideboard look no further even if u think that it has lil to none of what your looking for. That's what I thought but ended up being the best one I've ever had we got to lose it's free give it a try. I'll out my word on that.

It doesn't work from home screen. Every time you need to open the app to use its functions... Not useful.. waste of time and data...

Kit. B. Jun 14, 2020     

I wish it allowed you to select apps to put in the wheel instead of making its own list. It also totally SKIPS stuff like Aimp, Hiby Player, VLC.

Jas. W. Mar 27, 2020     

very useful when it comes to multitasking. Love the concept. However I think there are some bugs that the developers need to .sort out

Uda. B. Apr 21, 2020     

It's great but I'm not being able to open the apps from my home screen. I can open the apps once I'm in the circle sidebar app but when I'm on home screen, I can only scroll but I can't open any app. Please help.

keeps shutting down inspite of informing the developer there is no reply from them. please do not buy. unable to use as keeps shutting down within 2 minutes of starting the app.

Raa. P. Jun 10, 2020     

The trigger bar goes away as per the time selected. Make changes so it remains there forever

Mar. N. Jan 2, 2020     

It drains the battery super quick and bit slows the phone down. But it's a pretty cool app

Bor. J. Aug 5, 2021     

When the app works it does its job really well, but it stops working randomly and for long periods of time

vij. a. Jul 9, 2019     

Please add option to enable this only in home screen. Also weather option would be a good addition.
