After trying other apps found it great, your efforts are appreciated, what i thought if you can give long-press action (user-select) it will be very good for screen shots too.

Simple but very effective navigation tool bar. It's an easy fix if your navigation buttons on your phone are not working anymore.

It's a great app and very useful since my back and recent buttons do not sometimes respond as they should except that I have to keep switching it on as it goes off after sometime. Is there a way I can switch it on once for all? once that works, I will give it 5 stars. Thank you.

Works great, highly customizable, and very helpful since my phone's buttons are not working. Also, most importantly, no ads! Many thanks for the developer. It also remembers the position you set it in both landscape and portrait mode! This is a wonderful app.

It works fine. However, if my phone sleeps for a while, I'll have to go enable the app in the accessibility settings every time I want to use it. Can it be made to stock till I want to disable it? Overall nice app.

Just type "back button apk old version" in browser, go to uptown site and install older version which i give 5 stars to, and get rid of this ad infested peace of garbage. plus no more transparent buttons without a shadow. GARBAGE!!!!! I guess the company was sold to some greedy people.. Happened before, and will again.

Its good alternate for spoiled back button. There's a problem for my device that the floating button disappears constantly from power saving mode, data saving mode and some unknown reason. Since it allow to set color, it also nice to has more shape.

Using on a moto play android 10. So far so good. Did get a warning on install that it might not function. Buttons are on the side, would prefer bottom and will see if i can change. If it stays good is worth a few bucks. Hey motorola! Thanks for nothing, but your marketing smarts open up a niche for developers like this.

Thank you for your app. I damaged the screen where these buttons are located. Your app makes it possible to use my smartphone again. I never was aware bow needed the back, home, recent buttons were, until they did not work anymore.

This app is super good,transparent and also for the fact that i can move the buttons anywhere i want makes worth the stars. The first time the buttons disappeared on my phone i was curious but i knew that i just disallowed screen overlay before it happened. It happened again but i was able to get it to turn on again from my phone's settings now. Settings>application: more>allow apps to appear on top.... Thanks alot, the developer.

You get an add in ironically every 2-30 seconds while in the settings, I went through about 6 of them before giving up trying to see if it was even possible to set it up how I wanted

Very nearly exactly what I wanted! Its age shows though. Locking the floating widget over the natural bar is nearly perfect except that no other app understands that it is occupying the lowest three-quarters inch of the screen. The space bar, as I type this, is nearly untouchable.

Useful. I have a floating button free right hand side of my screen, in addition to the stupidly designed back on the right. 5 stars if I can place it on the nav bar. EDIT: Makes a really really annoying beep every time I minimise to desktop or unlock the phone. Cannot switch this off.

100% Garbage. It does nothing at all! It's literally useless! All the settings and permission activated but when you tap on it - nothing at all happens and I'm using a BRAND NEW PHONE I bought last week and haven't even put anything much on it yet. I haven't even transferred from my old phone yet so I have tons of storage and even with restarting, reinstalling, praying.... NOTHING WORKS

finally a customize button with notification drop button! i'm a one handed user and hated to use my thumb to bring down the notification bar on top. found a few cons tho (using the 'navigation bar' option) 1) some apps like uber the button suddenly gone. i had to lock and unlock phone or on/off the access setting and it will appear again 2) the button dissapears on yt full screen 3) in google, when long press the back button, it can't show the history of visited site. what a bummer!

Saved my phone. I was seriously thinking about returning my new phone because it uses some type of side swipe instead of a back button. This fixed the problem. It's add free too. If I'm still this happy with it in a month, I may tip the app maker, and I always avoid paying in the app store.

Wish I discovered this app sooner. Went crazy in my game which forced full screen and I had to keep swiping up to get my menu bar back to press the back button. Option was a permanent overlay of the nav bar which I didn't like. This app gives the extra feature of opening the notifications draw which is handy without reaching all the way to the top of the phone. Love it!
