5 ★ It would be nice to have the option to hide the notification icon so it's not always on my notification bar. :) Great app, works well.
3 ★ Still need to check how it works, but so far I've noticed that pinned apps are not excluded from the notification bar although Exclude pinned apps option is checked.
4 ★ need more than 35 apps ind dock. unlimited with scroll? also degrade usage required for r3cently popular apps, but not required anymore. usefull app, though to programm something like this, but found this solition
2 ★ Abandoned by developer 😔 needs updates. Widget icons don't fit correctly in widget area, amongst other little bugs.
5 ★ I have been using this app for more than four years. Every time I buy a new phone, I install this app first.
4 ★ 𝕀𝕥 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕜𝕤 𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕪 𝕨𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕓𝕦𝕥 𝕚𝕥 𝕞𝕒𝕪 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕜 𝕠𝕟 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕠𝕚𝕕𝕤☹
5 ★ Very good thank you very much, really useful...
5 ★ One of my favorite legacy widget/app. Install it on all devices
4 ★ This was my favorite utility app for a few years, but now it doesn't work properly on a Samsung tablet upgraded from Android 6 to 7.1... both the switcher icon and the second app row have disappeared. It's gone from wonderful to only marginally useful. Addendum: a few days later, I found a workaround to getting back the switcher icon... changed the apps-number to be lower than 10, then it re-appeared. It is still fixed when changing back to 10 too. Still no second row, but good enough for 4 stars.
3 ★ All I can say is this application does as it says. I've been testing and testing; every tiny issue I had was fixed in the first update? Since that point all has been perfect. I would like to see the ability to pin specific apps. If it has been addedd to this release, I'm editing this post and rating 5 stars! Edit: 5 stars, I very rarely rate apps 5 stars. Thanks man
4 ★ Nice! (Running Android 5.1.) I love my newly customized notifications panel, all gussied up with colors I chose, just for starters. Then I discovered this bonus: the panel's not anchored to the center any more. Wherever along the top of the screen you pull down, that's where the panel will drop. Two requests: (1) It's now trickier to expand a list of new emails; the list doesn't remain displayed for very long. A user-set time adjustment would be good. Or maybe a click-to-stay-open effect. (2) I've found one option for replacing the default font in the panel. Could there be a dropdown list of font choices?
4 ★ Just me but I don't think Hangar itself should appear in the shortcut bar. Blacklisting it just doesn't feel right. Also think that the app stats need to be updated automatically and that there should be a toggle for this.
5 ★ EDIT: To make the notification icon disappear, go to behavior tab, click on notification position and set to bottom. This must of gotten reset after the update. Hope this helps others having problems. Really useful app, access my top apps from any screen. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that it used to work without a persistent notification. After October update it only works with notification icon. Still very useful but a bit annoying.
3 ★ @ Mimic team, can you please include an option to hide the persistent Hangar App icon from Top status bar? It is really annoying. Other than that the App is awesome. My daily used App. Thanks in advance... :)
5 ★ Awesome! Exactly what i was looking for! The only thing I could add, would be to either make it possible to use the widget before it is set, or explicitly inform the user in the instructions that they need to configure and save the widget settings to make it accessible. I spent 10 mins trying to figure out how to make the widget appear in my phone desktop
