Comments on Task Switcher for Android

★★★★★ useful great app but it would be really helpful to have more choices over which button activates it, especially with an option to hold the home button, since that currently does nothing on my tablet, unlike some devices.

★★★★★ Perfect for iphone switchers I didn't like how long it took to get to the task switcher on my s3 because it took too long to get from app to app. Well this makes things so much faster and i can add widgets! So now I have music control too!

★★★★★ never mind i get it, super app,love the new icon, not that it's needed ;) make option to reverse left to right...that way last used app is on left side. like PreHome app. I've been using this app since it came out, so much better than PreHome, but with out this option, i am forced to still use PreHome, however PreHome sux, loads slow. I've waited for this option to be added for years, PLEASE... hmm, i guess i understand now... who needs to click the app they are on... so that app is already too the right. i use the reverse option you have. great app, I'm ditching PreHome.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't see Dolphin Browser Like the idea but some sort of conflict defeats ability to see the Dolphin browser I use on DROID X2.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work It says it is only less than a mb go size, but it gives me insufficient file size error even tooth I have 15 mb left. On htc explorer.

★★☆☆☆ Useless: Shows only current App It only only the current opened app. No other apps in list. Using Xperia ray with ICS

★★☆☆☆ Not quite there yet. 1. Memory hog. 2. Shows ONLY open apps, not all recently opened apps. Useless app, but keep up the good work.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work I use a n915A with lollipop and doesn't show any apps, not open, no recent, any idea?

Description by shisho Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.

This is simple task switching application that is called by pushing home button .You can use Multi Task Function more useful by this application.
And you can use this application as simply task manager too.

*usage*
It starts when you push the home button.
Come back to default home application when pushing home button once again.
If 'Display Widgets' option is valid, you can put widget on main screen.
