Update: app says it was updated to support newer devices, but it still crashes for me The app did get updated, which was a surprise. However it just keeps crashing on my Pixel 2 XL so I cannot give it a good rating yet. I do want to give the app another shot however.

About this app

Introduction
"Switchr is a well designed and well polished app with a simple, yet practical function that allows users to access their running apps quickly and conveniently." - XDA Developers

To use Switchr, just swipe in from the edge, make your selection and let go! Switchr has three different styles (Flow, Slide, and Arc), each with it's own unique way of displaying your chosen recent/running/favorite apps. With live switching, you can switch between apps in real time as you swipe! Switchr can even replace your default search action, allowing you to switch between apps using the search key or by swiping up from the navigation bar. You can also pin your favorite apps and rearrange the order to your liking.
