Will miss this a lot. Unfortunate that i won't be able to use this on my new galaxy s 3, for want of the necessary capacitive buttons.

Pretty decent, though I ultimately uninstalled it On a Motorola Photon 4G: Pressing home button to go from an app to back home is no longer almost immediate...and when in a different page of the desktop, pressing home now makes it jump to the main desktop page without the smooth transition. Won't overlay over Tasker; minimizes tasker every time. Couldn't figure out how to get the quick panel to be minimized by default, assuming that's not a bad idea. It's one thing not to offer continued updates, but the FAQ and documentation website is only a broken link these days. Couldn't figure out how to sticky any apps on the quickpanel for quick access like QD's startup tutorial suggests. On the good side (probably), you can swipe running background apps on the quick panel to close them. The ability to have one-click take me to my desktop, and another one-click take me right back to the previous program really sounded good to me, but QD wasn't implemented quite well enough for me to keep it installed, especially when considering I'd lose long-press search button to launch it (which was at least preferrable to the alternative, losing the droid's stock double-tap home search function.)

Wonderful and speedy, but... Trying to the menu often results in a FC. Pity it is no longer maintained

Excellent but needs update We desperately need this app, or one like it, but updated to work right in ICS! Come on developers, step up!

Brilliant Perfectly provides my last used and most used apps at the touch of a button. Thanks! Would like it if the shortcuts carried over to landscape mode (have to recreate shortcuts). Also might be neat to have multiple screens of shortcuts.

Well done! I've been looking for these features and this is the only app I know of that has them all. It is unfortunate that the dev gave up on this app, it had a chance to become one of those apps that everyone buy's.
