SwipePad

S.M.B.

Just installed this yesterday, it's still in beta but it could be a cracking addition to my phone.

It's a launcher pad that can be operated from within any app.

Extremely handy when I want to jump straight from my SMS app to cabbage without backtracking to my home screen. I'm sure there's plenty of other occasions that it'll prove helpful.

Seems pretty pointless. You realise you can hold down home button to switch between recent apps? (similar to alt-tabbing)

I only use that when I know I want access to an app I've used only minutes previously. It's not like I remember the last 8 apps I've used.

I'm going to have to wait to see how much use I get out of it but it's nicely done.

You can also add a tasking plugin (which costs $1) hat allows you to swipe to access the settings of the currently running app which could be useful.

Force Close or Uninstall from within the app.

All the stuff you actually use will be in the 8 most recent, it's an excellent feature.

Do you actually only use 8 apps?

You're missing out if so.

Got to say, I'm liking this app a lot. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Mentiond it in the other thread earlier , like it a lot, looks very good too.

The home button only shows 6 apps on my phone but with this I get 12 and its faster to pop up than holding home and customizable. Did I mention I love the way it looks ?

Edit: Being able to go between apps bypassing the homescreen/s is a major + in my book

Great app. Multi tasking so much easier now.
