Very useful app. I like to have additional controls available so I don't have to go to the bottom of my screen constantly. This app works very well and is highly customizable

Love the app. I wanted to do the ad-free donation, but the payment errors out. I hope the developer can reach out to me. I'm not sure if the app is discontinued and that's why you can't have the ad removed anymore.

Amazing. I have a Moto G13 and the navigation bar is suddenly not disappearing during gaming, so I'm constantly hitting the home button when trying to play. The gesture system is extremely annoying & I cannot get used to it. I have no option to hide the navigation bar. This app was super easy to set up & customise. I can now have gestures switched on with low sensitivity & I have a floating navigation bar that I can move around to wherever I want. I love that I can customise it. Thank you!
