Perfect!! Tried about six other apps with more attractive buttons. They were extremely frustrating!! Then I reluctantly tested this one. It was like a breath of fresh air!!! The only slight criticism I now have while writing this is that you have to be careful when pressing spacebar on keypad or you may find yourself back at home screen!! Would be better placed on side maybe but then I'd have to pay for upgrade! But the efficiency outweighs this little inconvenience.

Thanks to this app, my Asus phone can be used once again despite having the 3 buttons on the main screen ( the home, back and recent apps button) faulty. No idea what happened but the buttons suddenly loss their touch sensitivity and responsiveness. This app really saved my day. Worth a try.

O man I've been shutting my phone on and off for days now cause my buttons were broke. Not anymore. Heck yeah thank u guys for making this app

Home button suddenly stopped working with about 7 months left on my contract saved me from having to make an expensive insurance claim to get a new phone. Works exactly as you would want it too.

HIGH battery drain. I really really wanted to love this app. My Axon 7 mini allows me hide the on screen buttons giving me more screen to use, this app would've been perfect if it wasn't for the crazy amount of battery it uses.

It actually does its work pretty good since my home button is broken. but the problem i encountered was it caused problem which resulted to the never ending "screen overlay detected" pop ups from my phone. I cant save photos/files from apps like before. I even reset my phone but after factory reset it turns out this app is the only problem so i had to uninstall this...

My home button broke. This app rocks! Bought the pro version for screenshots too. Works really well. Just wish it didn't have to prompt for the screenshot. 5 stars nonetheless!

HIGH BATTERY DRAIN .. I am using s7 edge Android 7.0 and it reports this app is draining about 1.3% per hour. That is a huge drainage considering it doesn't have to use any physical sensors. Please either explain me nicely or do something about it. I don't want to uninstall this app

This is great however it doesnt truely go home. It sends you to the main screen but not your set home screen. At least not on my note 4. Also, if you have any app that pops up it will likely give you a screen overlay error and you will have to disable.

This app is perfect. It solves my problem!!! ... At the beginning, the app can't autostart, but then I found out that the app should be installed to internal storage, so now this app can autostart smoothly... Thank you so much!!!

This app is a Godsend!! My home, back, and recent app buttons all stopped working and I would have to restart my phone every time I wanted to use a new app. But this app has changed my life!!

Best ever. My home button is stopped working since last month. But this application resolved the issue completely. This is hidden, responsive and as good as the exact physical home key. I made it invisible. Go for it...!!

JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNKI'm adding to my previous note to say the developer just told me he/she doesn't care what we the customer thinks of this app because they only do it for fun. This junk deserves negative stars, not just 0 stars. This app is junk. It says I can view my recent apps, but I can't figure out how to set it to do that like the home button did on my phone before I dropped it. I want to view recent apps & dismiss. I guess this won't do that. 0 stars. Now they're telling me I'm stupid because "Everyone else knows how to use the app. 1.How does that help me 2. How does that convince me I should try again 3. After such rudeness, why try? The developers of this app have attacked me on a personal level. Nice going.

I'll give it a good four star my POS alcatel_50980 lost home back and prior apps function within three days. updating, reinstalling you name it firmware and stuff never fixed it. This is an awesome workaround until I replace this piece of garbage. LOL

Amazing app My Home/Fingerprint sensor button was not working, after installing it ,it worked well.I don't have onscreen buttons so my fingerprint sensor is on the hardware which is also my Home button. But it didn't fixes my fingerprint sensor, it only fixes my homebutton problem. You can download it it gives a attractive look, it gives a small attractive light just at the button of the device......

I love the app, very simple and to the point. I would suggest the virtual button to be also available also when the device is locked (since my Power button is also failing some times).

I was stressed because my Samsung note 3 home button stopped working out of blue so I have installed this app and it works perfectly fine.. Problem solved thumbs up

No app will be as good as having working buttons on your phone, but this is the next best alternative. When the buttons on my phone stopped working, I tried several apps to put alternative buttons on the screen. This was the best app I tried. One very useful feature is that you can set the app so a long press swipes down the notification bar (the top of my phone also stopped working). The only downside is that the app uses an accessibility 'overlay'. If you have to set an app permission (which you do a lot on android) then android detects the overlay is in use and doesn't allow the permissions to be changed. To circumvent this, go to Settings > Draw over other apps > Multi Action Home Button > Disable. Go back to apps, find the permission, enable the permission. Go back to Draw over other apps, re-enable multi action home button. I would highlight that this is *not* a problem with the app, it's a problem with Android. This app didn't stop me from buying a new phone, but it did help me avoid getting one for several months as my phone got steadily worse. Huge thanks for the developer for releasing this - you have my thanks!

I have an S6 Active. The nougat update changed my home button into a Google assistant button, making it impossible to easily exit to the home screen, this app saved the day.

It causes a "screen overlay" so I can't give permission to any other app till i disable this one being drawn on the top of the other apps which is annoying

Tis a great app. Thanks a million. It really saved me the stress of using my faulty home buttons

If you're using the Note 5, to get the best results set the button height to 30 and then after that's all set you can make the area invisible. So far it is working great hopefully the developer will introduce more swipe options. a

The app is good but it uses 2% of my battery per hour and my S7 edge keeps sending me alerts. That's upwards of 20% in a day! Why? Can you correct that?

It's a great app and does the job of being an on screen home button yet being discreet... My only complaint is that it take forever to take screenshots Wich needs to be done in a timely manner on snapchat
