About Gesture Launcher

Gesture Launcher let's you launch any application, shortcut or toggle any time, from any application....using gestures!

Forget having to pull up your long list of applications just to start your favorite few. With Gesture Launcher you don't even have to leave your application and return to the home screen. Your favorite applications and shortcuts are just one gesture away!

Gesture Launcher gives you access to your favorite apps in every application on your phone.
What other application lets you start up your applications and shortcuts using gestures? None!

Gesture Launcher places a small icon (looks like a hand) on your screen. You can configure the location of the hand. This icon will be there no matter where you are on your phone. Tapping the hand will let you start drawing your gestures.

If you don't like having the hand on your screen at all times you can also add a Gesture Launcher shortcut to your home screen. You access this from the regular Shortcuts menu. Using the shortcut will start up the gesture input.

You can currently add Applications, Shortcuts and Toggles to the Gesture Launcher.

Current Toggles:
Bluetooth
Wifi
Vibrate/Silent

Permissions:
This uses the permission "CALL_PHONE". If you add a shortcut to a direct dial it will not work without this permission.
Wifi permissions: Needed for the wifi toggle
Bluetooth permissions: Needed for the bluetooth toggle
Vibrate permissions: Needed for vibrate toggle

Planned Features:
More toggles like airplane mode, brightness and auto-rotate
Backup and Restore capability

I only paid 99. Cent so what can you expect.

I70%
by I####:

Great app! Speeds up moving between programs. Would love to see ability to put in a gesture for home previous options and power

N70%
by N####:

Its a very good idea. Can use a few little enhancements but still very usable and good.

Y70%
by Y####:

Well done

T70%
by T####:

Man this is cool!Just what I was looking for. Works best with 1 or 2 letters.Would like to see text snippets and delay for recognition in the future.

T70%
by T####:

...any app with swipe gestures. Tried using it on top of Phone, Messages, DashClock Widget....all failed. With only 5 minutes to test an app and get a refund, you'd better make it simple, easy and work the first time. This one didn't for me.

M70%
by M####:

app or basically anything I want with just a gesture, and It's not to "heavy" on my phone. Great job, Dev.!!!

N70%
by N####:

I dislike the positions of the icon, no status bar? PLEASE add gesture sensitivity. We dont all use the app the same. Continues to return to old apps.

S70%
by S####:

I actually find this app fun to use. It's easy to set up; easy to use; and does not break your rhythm. I tried Swipe, which is great but it's not friendly to big thumbs and made me feel rushed. Power Strip seemed to address that issue, but it's just too buggy on my LG Optimus S and I had to give up on it. But, this app really does the trick. I like it.

N70%
by N####:

Love that i can have bookmarks, too! Just wish I could move the little icon to where I want it rather than what the presets have. :/

N70%
by N####:

The only problem I have is that you can't get into the menu with a gesture.

N70%
by N####:

I found android tedious with too many clicks swipes and scrolls to do simple things like open calendar or call home. now i gesture for immediate launch.

N70%
by N####:

Love this app. The only thing keeping from 5 stars is you can't shut off the little button permanently.

N70%
by N####:

Add a homescreen widget and ill reinstall. Don't like preset positions of the icon

I70%
by I####:

Ugly looking button without the option to set transparency!

E70%
by E####:

This is what I've been looking for thanks a bunch!!!!!!! Enjoying the new icons!!!

Z70%
by Z####:

One of the best apps. A must have.

N70%
by N####:

Tried to uninstall less than 5 minutes for a refund.... the free apps are just as good ir better

J70%
by J####:

Freakin fantabulous app devs !!!!

S70%
by S####:

Love it. It's flawless. Must have.

N70%
by N####:

Great, functional app that streamlined how I accessed practically everything on my phone

N70%
by N####:

Not ideal: you still need to unlock your screen, and the hand overlay is hard to use (it takes several trials to get the listener started)

Z70%
by Z####:

Doesn't work. Period

T70%
by T####:

Great app. Would be best if a confirmation dialog box appears to take care of same gesture being assigned to more than one actions. Thanks

N70%
by N####:

Great start on this app! Love not having so many icons and being able to launch apps from any screen!! Great idea!

Q70%
by Q####:

Really good app. I have been waiting for an app like this. Needs option to launch activities, but does what it claims very well.

N70%
by N####:

Awesome! Works great. Would love to see activities added and more enhancements.
