2 ★ I just bought this app but it doesn't work when Im on desktop or in other apps, the pie circle is showing but everytime I am selecting apps, it doesn't open. It only works when im on pie control settings, thats where I can only select apps but when pie control is close, that pie circle will show up but it doesnt open the apps that I select. Kindly please assist me on this one.
5 ★ Thank you! I've been waiting for someone to rebuild this app for Pie. I had been using the one built by Cool Ace for a while. It as never updated and old. This is a must have app if you have a large phone.
5 ★ I use 1 layer of the pie, and wondered if you can add a functionality? I swipe far out most of the time and even adjusting the size, sometimes I miss going on the command. Can you make it so passing the command button still registers the command function ? This would make things so much better when I use the phone fast ! 😀😁
3 ★ Lacks some configuration options as others (ie y-position of triggers). And still does not function on Samsung system apps, while Messenger does (chat heads). If these two were fixed I would rate this 5 stars and buy it for good.
4 ★ Great app to add functionality to your phone or replace the nav bar completely. Only problem is the screenshot function seems to open the item editor menu right before taking the screenshot, so it just takes a screenshot of that.
4 ★ Good alternative to LMT pie that doesn't require root. Would be nice if there was an option to prevent inverting the keys when switching from the left to right side of the screen.
5 ★ Best pie controls and to-date constantly updated. You can't go wrong with this.
5 ★ Works perfectly. If you have ever used Pie in older ROMs like PA, this is exactly it! extremely stable, even with hiding the traditional navbar buttons.
4 ★ Simple, comprehensive, no bs. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because sometimes it stops working.
3 ★ [NO BACKUP OPTION] Is there anyway to back this thing up? I do like this app a lot. It almost takes no resources at all. Is there anyway to backup this app onto a file service? Thanks a lot. I would highly love a backup option! Thanks a lot!
4 ★ Great but would love to see folders would make it perfect for me.
5 ★ perfect. no issues. great app, better settings and functionality than any free app out there.
5 ★ Nice app. But it will be better if we can switch trigger way like tap or swipe edges.
5 ★ I wanted a pie and hide the software bottons with out Root on this phone. Its wonderfull that this app can do both that easly!
5 ★ This replaced a longtime pie app I had been using and I'm not looking back. This should be a native Android feature!
