Amazing. I have a Moto G13 and the navigation bar is suddenly not disappearing during gaming, so I'm constantly hitting the home button when trying to play. The gesture system is extremely annoying & I cannot get used to it. I have no option to hide the navigation bar. This app was super easy to set up & customise. I can now have gestures switched on with low sensitivity & I have a floating navigation bar that I can move around to wherever I want. I love that I can customise it. Thank you!

Great app! On Motorola Android with gesture nav., there are certain apps where buttons are still needed. I was switching system default in between apps - tedious! Now, I can use gestures and use floating buttons when I need. When "paused" it collapses into notification bar & is accessible with a quick swipe... Cool! It is a little finicky to set up, but not bad... Has minimal ads, only in settings menu - the buttons widget has no ads or annoying popups during regular usage. Awesome!

I've come to rely on this app for my large-screen phone. It's such an intuitive and effective solution to awkward thumb stretches that it's hard to see why this isn't part of Android's UI already. Spend some time tying out the options, which can be tailored in ways that really suit how you use and hold your phone. An essential app. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit: Thank you for rolling back to the previous version. I appreciate you maintaining the app. 3.0 didn't have features I find essential in 2.7. Missing features in v3.0: (1) Setting the WIDTH of the Active Edge on the Left and Right side: I like to adjust the active edge to be very slim ---- (2) Turn animation OFF: I like the panel to appear instantly ---- (3) Outsidetouch Hide NONE: I like the panel to disappear instantly ---- (4) Vibration time: I like to adjust this to be very small - a tiny click ---- (5) Responsiveness: v3.0 sometimes didn't detect presses ---- (6) Position: It felt as if the bar had moved slightly in v.3.0? ---------Thank you for your work with this app, which I use all the time.

I'm enjoying it so far. My power/lock button is malfunctioning and this app saved me, I tried to use the built-in accessibility menu at first, but it have a lot of unnecessary buttons that I don't need. This app can be set as a very small and discreet little button that I can place anywhere on the screen, so it is great for me (I wish I could "lock" it's position so I don't accidentally move it by mistake though). There are other options more similar to the traditional navigation bar too

As its name suggests, the app makes control of one’s device, simple and easy. I like the shade and transparency of the navigation bar. I also like its movability, so that one can move it out of the way of that which is being typed. I do not like the app's switching off when the recent screen is cleared. It is however, easy to switch it back on.

My most used app! It's a real godsend because my phone's usable screen space got wider since I no longer need to use Android's built-in virtual buttons on the phone (I already had it permanently hidden). To use Simple Control, I just swipe from the edge to see the buttons and it will hide once again after a second. Thank you for all the effort put into this development. If I may make a suggestion, hopefully you could include an update that would have the 'Menu' button showing, or at least be an additional option found in long-click. This can be done even on non-root phones as there's also an app I saw on the Play Store with this function, but I still choose your app coz it's still the best for me. People will be very thrilled by this if you can make it happen. This is the only thing missing to be the perfect navigation bar app out there. Have a nice day!

Really great alternative to Android's inflexible 3 button navigation and swipe gestures. All I wanted to do is swap the Back and Recent buttons, but Android does not allow that. Using Simple Control is even better because it allows controls on the sides of the phone instead of having to bring my hands down to the bottom or to the top of a tall phone.

Greg Pick

Saved my phone, thank you! My nav bar stopped responding and Simple Control was about as perfect an alternative as I could find. The configuration items are a little confusing and could use better explanations but once I figured it out I was able to use my phone again and, in fact, Simple Control made it even better. I only wish it was possible to replace the built-in nav bar altogether with Simple Control.
