Other full screen apps hide notifications bar too and has no option to hide just navigation bar. Hide Soft Keys is different - it only removes navigation bar and replaces it with Quick NavBar. You can always access stock notifications list and recent applications list.

3 ★ Update 10/23: still same thing. In stock android lollipop and marshmallow, when typing, there is a button for changing to different keyboard on the soft key in the lower right. But it disappears when using this app to hide the soft key? Any plan to support this?
3 ★ Most amazing app ever. Using this with J touch. This should have been free. I've just purchased this and after 10 minutes it has crasher. Whenever I swiped for the notification bar, the navigation bar was appearing. I had to clear the data and reinstall the app. This has solved the problem. But, I will monitor and update here my observations. Now, it is working file. Let's hope for the best.
3 ★ I like this app and paid for the Pro version as to support good dev. However, this doesn't work with Android 7. I have to stay in Android 6 in order to keep using this. Notice they updated GMD Gesture Control to support Android 7. Wish they update this one as well. And I will be happy to give it 5 stars.
4 ★ While it's exactly what I needed, and I got the pro version, after using it a bit, I've noticed the phone is killing the app, leaving me without soft keys. Is there a fix?
4 ★ The app was still hiding bars after I uninstalled it. Reboot didn't help and I had to re-install it to return my phone back to normal. The main reason I dislike this app is that I had a gesture set that turned the screen off when I slided home button up and the app replaced it with a shortcut to google app.
5 ★ Edit 2: Updating to SuperSU 2.52 (beta) fixed my problems. App works perfectly again. Edit 1: I'm on AHSK 4.1 with Nexus 6. Still doesn't work. App thinks I have hardware keys (like S5) instead of soft keys. Upgraded to Marshmallow 6.0 and this app no longer hides soft keys. I'm on the newest version of this app.
1 ★ I already paid for this aop. It was working fine until I came back to it before leaving it for a year. It asks me to pay again to upgrade to a pro version to get rid of the disgusting red line on the bottom of my phone. Do not purchase it, you have to pay again anyway.
4 ★ Is there a way to make this behave like full immersive GMD as a per app usage? Additionally, is there a way to make it use full immersive mode built into Android and not a emulated navigation bar? I really like GMD full immersive, but it's unreliable. I wish it used root access to make it reliable. Thanks for this! -pro user
4 ★ Actually app take few seconds to hide the softkeys on my cell. In previous version i cam easily get visual verification that i have pressed the button and app is processing. But with current UI it's confusing whether the app is processing or i didn't tapped it correctly
3 ★ Ok, I like this app. Very easy to use. I got one issue though, I can't determine how to deactivate it. I tried to uninstall it one time then the navbars never came back. Any solution for this? Hope to hear from you asap.
5 ★ Works well on my Nexus 6, have a bug that the cursor goes haywire when using the keyboard. But I believe a simple reboot fixes
4 ★ I like it. Its the best. But there's just one problem. It doesn't auto hide when I use camera. In result, the camera screen gets smaller. I hope there's a support the same with that of YouTube.
1 ★ The app force closed and now the navigation keys are completely gone. I opened the app and it said "you do not have soft keys"
4 ★ Instead of "trigger position" you should change it to "trigger height". I know there is "trigger sensitivity" but it wasnt clear for the new user, had to tweak a bit before i can finally typing comfortably. Anyway i like it
3 ★ Used to work great on my Huawei Mate 7, now after the update to MM it doesn't work anymore. Softkeys can't be hidden and the softkeys of the app don't do anything.
