Comments on Gesture Launcher for Android

★★★★★ Nice Good idea and works great. Very pleased.

★★★★★ Fantastic app, would have given it 5 stars if you could add a widget on the home screen that you could draw the gesture on directly

★★☆☆☆ Dont like it but have feedback I just uninstalled the app because I couldn't figure out how to use it. It started with a featureless white screen. Then I pressed the menu button and was taken to a featureless black screen. Figured out that I can add a gesture there via tge menu button, but once I created it, there wasn't anotger screen to go to. Using this app should be self explanatory, not a mystery. Also, I would like to be able to open apps with gestures from anywhere, which was my intent of installing this app

★★☆☆☆ Nothing Nothing but a blank white screen. Opened up settings......nothing but a blank black screen. So........next screen i saw was the uninstall screen.

★★☆☆☆ Great application...for a couple moments of trying, after that, keeps force closing most of the time. Very dissapointed, uninstalled. Galaxy tab.

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

With Gesture Launcher you can launch every application on your device by performing a gesture.

USE WIDGET TO START IT TO AVOID DELAY ON START!

Just define your own gestures for your most used apps and start them without having to search through the standard app launcher.

I wanted to add a widget with a GestureOverlay, but this is not possible, because app widgets do not support this control.
But there is a fast starter widget which starts the application a lot faster than a standard shortcut, because it preloads the application list.
