Add the option to move widgets without going through notifications and it would be perfect.
Good in concept, but moving the widgets is pretty awkward.
I'm currently using this with Elixir, Tasker, and AOKP to provide a "quick launch" widget triggered by an additional navigation button. I find that the "Hide" action in the Tasker plug-in doesn't work and I have to use "Stop" instead; this needs fixing asap. Would also like to see the option (per-profile maybe) to auto-hide widgets when the app changes or when a tap is detected outside the widget area. An option to dim the background would also be welcome. Finally it would be nice to be able to hide the notification (AOKP can do this, so it's not a major issue for me, but others would probably like it). Still, great app with lots of potential uses!
it really needs gesture hide show control for when using an app that you need the screen for, or an option to only be shown over user selected apps
I have always been annoyed by not being able to keep my browser up and dial a number at the same time. With this app and a dialer widget I can now totally do that. This app is priceless to me!
Not bad.
