Here from swipepad. Finally couldn't install on new phone, but that brought me here. I love it so far, but was hoping it would somehow fix swipepad's one issue - the fact that it overlays prevents me from accepting permissions on Chrome. Is there a reason why Chrome needs this? Is there a workaround other than having to disable this anytime I want to allow my camera or microphone in Chrome?

Saw it, seemed interesting, played with it for 2 minutes, bought premium after 3. Not something I do often. Edit : Down to 4 stars because the "blacklist apps" function doesn't work. The trigger lines are still active when using apps even if blacklisted. And, there doesn't seem to have been any proper updates for a good while now, so I suspect that won't get fixed. Still a fantastic app though - I access most of my regular apps through it, with one short, directed swipe of the thumb.

As someone who uses Edge Panels on the S22U I think this a good alternative for any phone. However, more spacing customization is needed for use on large phones, like: 1) being able to adjust the vertical position, not just resize the window, to aid in onehanded reach; and, 2) being able to adjust horizontal icon spacing as well vertical. These would make using Zone Edge Launcher on large phones much better and give me reason to move from Edge Panels even though I already purchased ZEL Premium.
