Found this app from a Reddit thread, I was looking for a way to swap the Back and Apps buttons on the Google Pixel because for some reason, the buttons are in the opposite position on Samsung and Pixel phones. This was wrecking my muscle memory and I don't like it. You can't even change it without this app! Fortunately all the features you really need are in the free version, and the pro version is just $2 and it's not a stinky subscription. I really appreciate it!

I have the pro, what would be really cool is to be able to offset the buttons left or right, the button position expands from the center but I have a big phone so I want all the buttons shifted more to the right together. But this app is Excellent does exactly what it says, it's a must for Sony phones, as Sony don't let you swap back and recents. there's a lot of ads in free version I get it, but maybe don't make me watch an ad when I click to buy the pro version. I had to wait to pay, lol.

Great app for moving to Xperia from a Samsung. Two problems: 1. Cannot use keyboard switcher (and/or accessibility button) because it goes under the bar - if the not only the height but width and position of the bar could be controlled it would be perfect. 2. Lack of settings import/export. That being said, I'll probably buy the pro version to support the dev anyway.

Installed this on my kid's tablet so I could display a navigation bar even in full screen apps (the case makes it hard to swipe from the edges) It works well! Unfortunately, I can't actually change any of the settings because the tablet runs Android Go, in which the "display over other apps" option is disabled. I can't get past the in-app screen requesting that permission. Funnily enough, it does, in fact, display over other apps, but it's disappointing I can't change any of the settings...

Navigation bar for Android a great app which solves the issue of a white ink on white background that makes the Nav bar disappear in some apps on my Pixel Fold. The shortcuts on long press Nav bar buttons is a great idea the two best ones would have been Torch toggle and Camera toggle, BUT the camera toggle opens some odd version of my camera which doesn't save pictures to my phone, so pretty useless. Would have rated this 5 stars otherwise. Great shame!

works mostly well, however it doesn't always load so I need to wait a couple seconds whilst it loads up and displays over the standard nav button. it doesn't always work right, it poses focus, which can be really annoying. for example when using chrome and browsing websites, if I hit the back button it will instead goto the apps I have open. I firstly need to touch on the webpage and additional time to set the focus of the webpage, then tap back for it to work

Basics work okay although a lot of the popup menus in the settings are showing as white writing on a white background so very difficult to change. Lots of adverts to the point where the 'free' version is unusable although pro is priced reasonably. Other than cosmetics it doesn't provide me with any additional functionality.

Great app until a few days ago. The square Overview button has stopped working in this app. I click and nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled with no changes. I turned on vibrate on touch and get feedback when I hit the Overview button but nothing happens. I also uninstalled and went back to the stock setup and that area of my screen still reacts, so it's not an issue with the phone. Please fix!

Purely on a functional level, it does its job. There's a lot of ads that make navigating the app difficult, but you only need to use it once to set it up, so it's somewhat tolerable. The main feature this is lacking is circle to search. Here's hoping that gets added in the future, if possible.

I HATE IMMERSIVE MODE! Thanks for this app to allow my to have direct control of my navigation controls without swiping. I can tap and it works without swiping 3 times and the phone thinking I'm trying to control my game while doing so. Suggested Improvement: add a drag bar so I can move the buttons at will out of the way qhen the cover a part of my app that I need access to without turning it off temporarily.

This app does not support the accessibility menu in the navigation bar! Absolutely useless and a waste of time and money! It also does not show the icons much larger than what I already can do with my system settings which was the main reason why I purchased it. Finally, the app does not truly hide the bar when the keyboard pops up. It still leaves a black bar that even functions as a navigation bar rifgt under my keyboard. Very frustrating and very sloppy. Don't waste your time or money!!!

I mainly got this app for the windows phone nav bar theme,but the windows icon can't be moved to the middle where it belongs. Other than that it is a good app. Needs more themes or at least a true to life windows phone theme.

This app is good, really... I get to use the home, back, and recent key to navigate my way around my phone easily which was very difficult and frustrating before. But, when i rebooted my phone, the app stopped working....I uninstalled and installed it again, nothing. You guys should really work on it, in the main time... ama have to look for another app, cus my phone is back to being difficult. Goodluck.

Was working great until a few weeks ago. It keeps closing on it's own after some time. Maybe 8-10 times a day. It only takes pulling down the shade and hitting the persistent notification twice to bring it back. I've been on the 13 beta for a month or so. I just wanted to get some feedback from you if 13 beta is a known issue or could it be something else. Even with this little issue, it's still well worth running it so I can swap buttons without rooting it. Pixel 6 pro btw.

i like how you can choose the colours and shapes of the buttons, but i dislike how i'm limited to three buttons. my phone has five on-screen buttons by default (hide nav bar, recent, home, back, rotate screen), and i'm not super happy about having to use a nav bar with lower functionality just so i can have better haptic feedback.

A fun concept. There are a couple of reasons it's not for me. It was impossible to set the vertical and horizontal sliders to have it work with my Pixel 6, which limits me to only one of the larger button variations. The main reason I'm uninstalling is that the option to hide the new buttons when the keyboard is open doesn't work, so there is a stock down arrow sticking out under the back button. I will reconsider my review with future updates. Thanks for your work, it's a neat idea. 🐬

Using this app on Motos for 4 years, and it has been reliable. I see that many need the app to reverse Nav Keys, and am upset with phone makers who provide no way to do this. Most ppl, due to brain/hand coordination, need keys in certain positions. There is no way to overlay orig. keys completely, but this app comes close -with some settings tweaks. Shame on phone makers who make our lives hard! We know it is cheap to add NavKey control to a phone, since it was on every $29 phone from 2014-20!

Pokémon Go players!!! When you download this, you must find a setting within the app that says "Auto Hide". Turn that to disabled and it will no longer disappear when playing Pokémon Go. You can also change the color of the nav bar to transparent so you still see the whole screen. Unfortunately, the ads are bit aggressive whenever you go within the app itself to turn the nav bar on or off, but it is what it is.

Fantastic! Just got my new Pixel 6a and loving it to bits, but never liked the look of the three button nav bar (and I don't do gestures 🤮). Was so relieved (thankful) that this app allows me to change the colour and style of the nav buttons themselves, making them much less prominent on the home screen. Absolutely brilliant app and developer/s and as yet have found no fault with it. *THANK YOU*

doesn't always work, but I hate the new Samsung UI update took away the back nav option. I paid the $2 for pro, no ads, more options. I chose the slim line buttons and made the bar thin enough to fit below my phone/vm etc icons. It still covers the keyboard. with the "hide while using keyboard" selected, it doesn't hide it, but it pushes the keyboard up. cuts off the voice mic button at the bottom and whatever else I can't see it. it can take several taps to work & disabled quick reply in msgs.
