User reviews
Had to reinstall this garbage app but now I can't take screenshots because when I press the screenshot button it goes back to the settings screen with you begging for money. And I don't appreciate the 30 second long adverts. Talk about greed. Uninstalling.
Works kinda on my Android 11 phone but actually does way too much, kinda bloated, this makes everything overwhelming and I'm an old programmer and hacker and have had to setup Win3.1 and DOS. This app is somehow worse. Also, somehow every button but the actual menu button works, to use the menu button I have to change keyboards every single time I want to do so then manually switch back. I know this is due to Goolge being dirtbags not the app dev but it's still an insurmountable hassle for me.
This has been an absolute lifesaver. The home button doesn't work reliably on my phone anymore, and usually doesn't work at all. I also know some phones don't even have the physical home, back, and app buttons anymore either. If I ever get stuck with one, I'm definitely going to keep using this app. It'll provide a set of buttons that can "snap" to the edge of the screen, and you can long press drag to move them, of they are blocking something, so that's no worry at all.
