It would a great app, IF IT WOULD ACTUALLY WORK. It used to mostly work, except when I tried setting the camera app as one of the custom pie elements, which led to the app crashing. But now, it isn't working at all. Every time I try to open it, it crashes instantly, every singe time. Tried deleting the data, rebooting the phone, re-installing the app, nothing worked. Please fix. Great app when working correctly, sadly that's not often the case.

Haywire rotation since last update, not happy. This is one seriously confused app. I get it working by uninstalling and starting from scratch since there is no way to backup settings and preferences then it flips out and either won't appear at all or only does on the opposite side of the screen upside down in landscape or bottom of phone in rotation. Please fix this mess, it's no fun. Gave up and uninstalled finally. Kept running even when disabled until permissions were revoked. Bad, buggy app.

I've been searching searching searching for a decent PA_PIE type of navigating my phone since the horrible changes made to PA_PIE. I'd have to say this one wins by far! It even has PA_HALO notification system. I never adopted the HALO system so this review is for the PIE navigation tool. I would totally recommend buying this. It is old but works on my OP5t running android 9.0 (PIE)

Works great when it does. I experience crashes when trying to change the items in the PIE and at times the items do nothing at all. Apart from these issues, this could've been a 5-star app as this is the closest to what I wanted on my Razer Phone 2.
