User Reviews

Fingerprint Swipes is a lightweight, ad-free app that enhances Android devices by adding responsive, customizable fingerprint swipe gestures. It works flawlessly on various Pixel models and some other phones, improving navigation and convenience. However, several users report it losing functionality after upgrading to Android Pie or newer versions, conflicts with native swipe features, and lack of support for certain gestures like single taps or up/down swipes. Despite these limitations, users appreciate its smooth performance, customization, and utility on larger-screen phones.

Pros

Works perfectly on multiple Pixel devices (Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5) and some other Android phones.
Provides smooth, responsive, and customizable fingerprint swipe gestures that feel native to the OS.
Lightweight app with no ads or unnecessary interface elements.
Allows users to control different actions (e.g., flashlight toggle, switching recent apps) through swipe gestures.
Improves phone usability especially on devices with larger displays or lacking certain fingerprint sensor gestures.

Cons

Stops working or loses functionality after upgrading to Android Pie or later on some devices (e.g., Moto X⁴, OnePlus 5T).
Requires additional setup actions like root access or disabling native swipe features, which some users find inconvenient.
Does not support certain gestures like up/down swipes or single/double taps, which users desire.
May conflict with the device's native swipe functions, disallowing simultaneous use of both.
Occasional instability where the app stops working and must be disabled/enabled again.

This app does literally nothing. I installed it because I switched from a Pixel to a Galaxy Note and missed the fingerprint gestures. But after configuring it it doesn't work, no matter what I try.
