Worked until it constantly stopped working every few hours in order to make you watch an ad "only once". No way to disable ads and thus no way to keep it actually working...

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!! Once you grant accessibility access, this app does ads all over your phone. You won't be able to use any other app works l without ads. Completely rubbish!!

OMG! This just saved my mobile. My mobiles back button was broken and it clicks like 1 time every 5 secs and like it was very annoying. One time, I even wanted to break it. Then with this, I disabled all of the options of the back button and it never happened again! What a relief and I just like suffered for months and months and now I am free of the frustating back button. I will start usin assistive touch from now on.
