Hi everyone!

I've released the new edge actions feature for Quick Cursor today. Preview:https://i.imgur.com/XYjaZzY.mp4

The app has a free version without ads, which is limited in terms of configurations and features, but can be tested to see if it helps you use your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickcurso...

The pro version is an IAP (In-app purchase) and offers a lot more customizations on features and looks. The app is made for power users that want many customizations.

Any feedback is welcomed!

Thanks!

Amazed how this isn't a standard accessibility feature. Great idea, good execution! Shame my main device is an iPhone.

I completely agree. Just imagine how good this can be implemented at system level. I had to do a lot of "hacks" to make it work that good as a simple accessibility app.

I've got feedback from multiple users with disabilities that this app is helping them use their phone easier with one hand. It also helps users without disabilities like me, I use it every day and I can't use an Android phone without it anymore.

I would love to see something like this implemented in both iOS and Android by Apple and Google.

I appreciate you applied all those hacks to make it work though! Even though I do not have any disabilities I will definitely be using this. I do have an Android tablet and it will definitely be useful on that size!

Hopefully it gets picked up by both of them and they hire you to make it without any hacks :)

Nicely done! Definitely one of the more unique apps out there.

Thank you! And thank you for the XDA post back when I started the project 2 years ago. It helped me.

I improved the app continuously from 2 years ago when I started and I still want to improve it more.
