Floating Toolbox 3.42

Customize your screen and get quick shortcuts to all sort of apps
Google Play Store is filled with all sort of interesting applications that help users customize their home screen and get quick access to all system functions or tools. One of the apps that could help you with this is Floating Toolbox.

It's packed with all sort of nice features that you can adjust and make the most out of the app. However, don't expect it to have too many tools, the free version is quite limited and it lets users only add up to 5 shortcuts.

Fluent UI that could use some more tools

The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, which is quite inconvenient since new users find tips quite beneficial when launching a new application. The app doesn't provide users with an overview of the app's tools and features.

It doesn't use material design or a side menu that would help users get quick access to many tools inside the app. Navigation through sections is made using tabs on the main screen, simply swipe the screen left or right.

Customize the app if you want

The app lets you choose the toolbox size, transparency and enable animation. You can also enable vibration for when you press the trigger, hide the app when you rotate your phone to landscape or hide when on long press.

In addition, you can have the app show on screen lock or display a notification in the status bar. You can add all sort of apps to the trigger, as long as you resume yourself to 5 applications, which is the maximum number in the free version. The app lets you sort the order of apps under the trigger.

Some flaws

It doesn't allow users to remove apps from the trigger, unless you upgrade to the premium version for 2.09$. Moreover, the app automatically adds your alarm apps in the trigger, but you won't be able to remove them, which is annoying.

The app works as an overlay, it's easily accessible from all sort of apps or browser pages, so you can access your applications faster. However, we've come across many similar applications that had complex tools and features.

But Floating Toolbox doesn't really have that many tools and it's quite limited, especially the free version. It needs some more options and tools, to make it more appealing to users.
