Swapps! 2.3.4

Get access to your apps simply by swiping the screen
Every now and then, we come across apps that impress us by their functionality and ease-of-use. They're not necessarily revolutionary, but do have their perks and features that make us deem them must-have applications on any Android phone.

Swapps is one of those apps, it opens a drawer with shortcuts to your favorite applications, on any screen even when you're using the browser or playing a game. It grants you access to content from wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Sleek interface with some settings to be made

An intuitive interface is a must for any app and it seems that Swapps hit the mark with an easy-to-use UI and plenty of features. However, the app doesn't come with instructions or any tips for new users to get accustomed to the app faster.

Swapps functions in the background of your screens, all you need to do in order to launch the app and open the list is swipe the screen. It comes with a menu of settings that you can adjust in order to make the app your own. Other than that, you can have your phone vibrate when you touch the invisible pad on the side of your phone screen.

Customize the app to your liking

You can set the indicator bar to be transparent. Set up to 100 starred apps in the drawer, meaning those applications will appear on top of regular ones on your phone.

The quick scroll feature adds alphabetical popup when you scroll. The app also lets you adjust the width and height of active spot icon that appears on the screen. You can set the app to launch when you swipe from the left or right side of the screen.

Have all your apps at hand at all times

Simply swipe the screen from the side to open apps you've installed on your phone. The app uses slide in animation and you can choose the style or adjust the speed of it. You can also have the app add a small close button on the side and adjust text appearance, but only in the premium version.

In fact, many features can be unlocked if you upgrade for 2.41$. The pro version lets you hide apps, choose a background color or make changes to the text style, font or size.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The interface is really nice, but the free version could have used some more customization options.

Function8
 

At times, the app may become non-responsive and it may become annoying. Still, it doesn't happen that often.

Security8
 

It doesn't need that many permissions from your phone, so it won't pose any privacy issues.

Battery8
 

Consumption is not that high, so you shouldn't worry about resources as the app doesn't have the capacity of draining your battery.

Price9
 

No ads, just a section with suggestions of other apps to download. Unlock features by upgrading to the premium version for 2.41$.

Compatibility8
 

It should work just fine on devices running Android version 2.3 or later, making it accessible to many users.
