Finger Gesture Launcher
It also provides you with shortcuts to all sort of applications and functions on your phone, so that you wouldn't have to search for them inside your phone or in the app drawer. You can create shortcuts to the dialer and even conversations.
Sleek design with everything you need from a launcher
Finger Gesture Launcher opens directly with a tutorial filled with all the instructions you might need in order to access the app and all of its features. It does need a bit of setup but it's only to teach users how to create gestures to almost all functions on your phone, even to root settings.
It comes with a side menu and several general settings that you can do to the app. The whole concept behind this app is to let users create gestures and use the floating widget to activate them and open all sort of applications installed on their device.
Create gestures on your phone
The first thing that you need to do in order to create gestures is to pick the system setting, either bluetooth, WiFi, airplane mode, basically anything on your phone. You can also create shortcuts to any application on your phone, to recent tasks, WhatsApp conversations, internet addresses, system settings, etc.
Users also have the option to create gestures for locking their devices, calls, the home button and more. In order to create gestures you'll need to draw them three times but the app doesn't seem to have trouble with detecting your writing as long as you write the letter clearly.
Other features
Users can place the floating widget anywhere on the screen and it's situated over any apps and pages on your phone. It has some settings, like the fact that it helps you change the color of the drawer, of lines and the width of the gesture line.
In addition, users can enable the lock screen features inside the app and use the phone's wallpaper in the lock screen also. However, in order to enable these features you'll need to allow the app to become a device administrator. The app comes with ads and the option to remove them for one day by watching a commercial or for ever by paying 4.69$.
