Never thought I'd replace a switcher on Android unless it was through Xposed but this one changed my mind. Works faster if launched directly via gravitybox or other navbar tweak than its own native way of replacement though, given the way I use it. Wish OEMs would give choice of recent switching method after having this.

Loved it! Works flawlessly! Except for the occasional force close. I would definitely pay money for this app but my device is due for lollipop soon and apparently lollipop disabled the ability for apps to read running apps and information so its not worth it to pay for it for only a month or so... :( but otherwise this is one of the VERY FEW Apps I would actually pay money for.

I do like this app, but it seems fairly buggy and laggy. Takes a second out two to come on, and doesn't replace the native switcher, even when selected to do so in the settings. Hope you can fix these two issues and will bump up to five starts. Great job though!

I'ved switch from a custom ROM which is based on Lollipop, I heard that they already ditched the recent app in 5.0.1, so whenever I holdpress the home button, it doesn't show up. Thanks to this app, I can now made sure that they are not running in background and I can quickly switch to other app, great UI too. Kudos devs.

When i clear the apps.... its clear it...... But when i open recent app ( fancy switcher ) the app still there.... Plss fix ....... And time for the recent app to pop up take 2 or 3 second. Moreover can you make the statusbar transparent.... And the last one when i use " {Beta} default switcher " it works but it will open the old recent app first then fancy switcher..... Hope you can fix this problem #Use root permission
