many thanks.. you solved my screen flickering problem for Asus Zenfone 2..

Great idea and amazing up! I use pro version and very satisfied I purchased it. I mostly use it to create a "flow" - the sequence of apps that I run one after another repeatedly (meditation - fitness - journal, etc.) or apps that I switch between them frequently (Bank, Wallet, Credit card) and don't want press home, look for the app and start it. The developer is very responsive and helpful. UPDATE: Profiles triggered by event (WiFi, BT, day/time) are very useful! My suggestions are: 1. A profile, which will show a picture / slideshow from a folder. It can be useful for showing pictures on the lock screen (for example best photos or the screenshot of a budget). 2. Show BT triggered profile always, until the connection has been closed (and not only on connection established). 3. Online user guide. Thanks!

Pretty nifty little app, give you easy access to all your widgets and system shortcuts. I thought that all my widgets weren't showing up before because more widgets show in my widget settings, although a lot of those are system shortcuts which can be found under that name when adding a new item with this app. Yes, it's a shame the widget drawer can't be accessible on the lockscreen but that's a system limitation so I can't blame the app dev for that! Although I will note Snap Swipe Drawer does let you access your widget drawer on the lockscreen.

Cant use overlay ontop of lockscreen now, the app is pointless for me. And if removed need to re edit all tasker tasks that uses this plugin, very disappointing

App used to work great. Android updated, and I can no longer see my overlays. I used to be able to change my phone to "allow overlays" but that setting disappeared Edit: you must change the "usage data accesd" setting to allow the app to access your data usage

I use this app to float my digital clock widget over top of my game apps so when I take a screenshot it is time and date stamped automatically! First app I've found to timestamp screenshots. Thanks a bunch

Works great with Waze. Amoled displays have issue with burning static elements on the displays, especially orange ones, especially in Waze... hopefully, this will fix my issue on SGS7

Does what I needed so I'm very happy, but is little buggy that's why 4/5 stars. Edit: Problems: 1. I cannot set 100% screen width (1280px) of overlay in manual size settings because app set limit to 736px width / 1280px height in landspace and 1280/736 in portrait. It should be other way around. Fortunately I can set size with edge swipe. So now in manual settings I have width 1280px with 736px limit and it works :P 2. I cannot set height smaller than 79px (if i remember). Probally its because of icons space, but i wanna small solid black bar. But I have workaround (Paid pro option). In Photoshop I've made solid color bar of 40px on transparent 79px and saved as 79px transparent image and set this as background. Works ;) 3. If I set image background then overlay doesent work. It's not visible anywhere, not even if I change it to solid color. Fortunately restart app (kill background process and run again) fixes it and overlay works. These are problems, but like I said - all have workarounds because app is very well made with a lot of options. So I'm happy ;)

Probably the second best application on my Note 8 Nova Launcher and Overlays keeps my Note 8 looking clean running fast. My only request is to use a icon for a "dummy"

Could we have an option to add the "recent apps" screen to the blacklist for profiles? Or even better would be to toggle between a blacklist and a whitelist

Bestttt, if you looking for splitting windows / multi window for multitasking this is it, i tried the other one is such a scam. Actually i use this for youtube while doing other things xD

Changed rating from 1 to 5 ... Anyone using MIUI needs to change app permissions in security as popup is auto denied by default ... the app looks really cool and it looks like I'll use it for accessibility but I don't know if it can do what I wanted it for yet, displaying the popup from comodo anti-theft where using take photo feature, the android message window that tricks the user into taking a photo only displays on the home screen and not the lock screen but still the app is amazing as is, the best I've seen lately ????

Any way to remove the top bar that says "Widget ()"? If not, you may consider updating the app screenshots here. Great app!!

I really like this app, and I've been using it to get a picture in picture mode before Android O is out. It really works well, especially with YouTube. I definitely recommend it...

Thank you for creating this..It makes it easier to switch between apps within an app instead of closing one and opening it through the home screen. This is my much needed app!!!

Great!! Exactly what I wanted. I'll use for a week or so to ensure its good. Then I'll buy pro for support even though free version does what I need.

Installed it and works like a charm on all apps. What I miss is the possibility for an overlay to be visible only on the home screen, and disappear when opening an app. Of course normal widgets do this, but they do not float

I'm using it to overlay tap2text but the first time I press one of the text bottons the overlays disappear until I go onto a new page on the app I'm overlaying. Any ideas?

I try to float a shortcut for Waze only appearing in Audials but it won't succeed that way unless you want to see the floating shortcut all the time on screen regardless if Audials is open or not. There may be a way but it's not explained how. Without clear instructions for use this app is useless
