User reviews
Overall a very impressive app... allowing to set up the probably best navigation options for a smartphone at this point.
Got the original OnePlus gestures on my new phone. Excellent!
Best navigation app, but this review is more of an eulogy as Android 11 killed 3rd party gesture navigation apps. Really scummy of google to do this to developers (and their consumers) but that's life in the big city I guess.
Most stable and compatible version on my S20. Better than FNG and XDA's versions! Plus, family sharing means I don't have to purchase a second time on my secondary account!
Will the gestures work on Android 11 soon? They do not at the moment.
Great feature set for a gesture app and perfectly functional. Thanks developers!
