Great for fast navigation to your apps! It would be great to be able to define multiple groups of starred apps and you cycle through them with a right gesture (if app was opened from the left edge). That way, I can have quick access to messaging apps, navigation apps, multimedia apps, etc. Then all apps can be optionally set up as another group to cycle through. Also since most phones are hard to handle in one-handed mode, I wonder if having optionally the list starting from bottom would help.
Swaps is a well-thought-out finely-tuned highly honed architected menuing system. It has a completely useful side menu display; Bedsides menu allows you to get to Applications quicker. On the surface that doesn't sound like a lot however when you are on your phone consistently, the time savings becomes considerable. I was looking for something simple straightforward and reliable and found this application. I'm very pleased... five stars
Wow! Rarely do you come across an app these days that does something better than all others. But this one does, and I've tried quite a few. This app is lightweight (great for my old mobile with a tiny memory), easy to configure and use (particularly for non-tech, savvy people like myself). Love the haptic feel and the way icons windmill and float onto the screen. Bought the pro to unlock a few extra features, but mainly to support the developers for this fab little app.
I use the Pro version of this app, and love the ease of setup, customization, side accessibility, and the app has a lot af great customization capabilities. There are several other app drawer apps (Jina, erc), but this is my personal favorite. I also feel little system drain when using this app over the other options. My favorite.
It would be cool, I even paid for all options to be on, but they tell you how you can star an app and keep your starred apps seperate. But not a word about how to star an app. Eventually, if your extremely lucky, you'll get a drop down setting for how many started apps you want, another asking if you want to add starred apps. I finally got one-yep, only one one the starred list. Put one app down as starred, about to add a bunch more, but no. The app will not allow me to star an app. And won't give me back money. So I'm very unhappy.
Disappointed. Apparently does not support recent apps anymore. Requires ro disable gesture navigation. What I am looking for is an app that can complement gesture navigation with an honest recent app switcher (unlike the horrible stock Android in newest versions.)
Have used this for almost 7 years on multiple devices. I love it. But now, Battery issue on Galaxy s10 - My device health is always at 90, but I won't remedy because I need it to keep running in background so I can use it properly. I need an update or I'll have to search for second best.
I've used this for 6 years. It's my first install on every android device. I've tried the more popular ones, but Swapps is the best. Simple, powerful, and frees up your home screen so you can remove every last icon. Only review I've ever bothered to write.
Experience make life so much easier. I recommend to every one. I have used on about 26 different Andriods! I'd also like to say that this app was probably the best app created in the 20th century that has become an must have function into days hectic and complex ed technical world. Enjoy !!!!
I do like the way the layout is and how you can customize it for however many apps are shown the only thing I do not like is the fact that it does not show the actual icon on the screen as to where the sidebar is even though you shouldn't have since you set it up to the position where but it doesn't give you an option to hide or have it shown on the screen which is why I gave it three stars because it should have an option to show the icon and allows color change have of icon
quick way to get into the app drawer without leaving your spot, visually appealing, and intuitive in use.nice choice of you're looking for an edge app.
UPDATE ~ I figured out how to not see that annoying pop-up letter of the alphabet 👍 I luved this app BUT I can't get rid of the annoying alphabet pop-up, it's not helpful, I can already see the alphabet lineup, I can scroll quickly enough w/out that pop-up... ¿How do I get rid of it...
its a great app so far. 3rd day and the snoopers are not so sneeky thus [email protected] addition to the complete revamp and tighter increase in security. Just when you think you know some1 they get shady. I'll update in a few weeks and give further comments. BUT I LOVE IT THUS FAR!!! 💖
I bought the the unlocked version I'm really disappointed in this it has a full-time green bar on the screen overlaying over everything it's absolutely terrible
exactly how i want it. i hope that the functionality for recent apps section can be added again soon though. i know it's an android restriction, not the devs fault.
last update 2015. probably a pretty good app back in the 🍭 era. user forum gone. abandoned. it's really f'd up that Google is too greedy and lazy to clean up stuff like this.
This app is excellent. lt makes you feel fast everywhere on your phone. I recommend it. Download it, you will be glad you did.
i have bought this app. i'm more productive after having this app installed in my phone. please keep it updated regularly. good work!!
almost perfect! but why can't add whatsapp chat shortcut? doesn't it support whatsapp?
Works Great so far on Pixel 6 after turning off gesture navigation.
Gosh, this is easy: a time saver, very practical, very reliable app!
Great app. Easy to use. Very practical for multitasking. Love it.
Lots of options and meets my needs! And that's just the free download.
Good as described Only that it is sometimes slow to popup or appear for use.
its good and it's helps you to change into a different app very fast.
Used to be my fav. I dont know what to do. Stops working despite permissions to appear on top.
My deer , have you had not for me your software option free of cost all version in especial cases , if rigid you are , wonder how can you get a success in life , ok
Absolutely Wonderful & Useful.... BTW I am using it on Android 9 & it works very well.... Thank you❤
Excellent app.I can open selected apps I wish to open in between using other app.
Great app in terms of functionality and flexibility. Has, like a number of apps, been adversely affected by the android limitations (ie the recent apps feature). Docking 1 star because I do have to restart it from time to time. Easily done but it does mean keeping the app on the home screen. Docking another star because this problem has become more frequent. Will be looking at alternatives.
