User Reviews

Edge Side Bar is praised for bringing the convenient edge panel functionality to various Android devices, especially non-Samsung phones. Users appreciate its ease of use, affordability, and customization options like colors and icons. However, common issues include the need to keep the app running constantly, limited trigger handle positioning, lack of advanced app organization features, occasional delays in opening the sidebar, and compatibility problems with certain devices and apps.

Pros

Provides easy access to frequently used apps, improving workflow and convenience.
Works well on non-Samsung devices, replicating the edge sidebar feature.
Customization options like color selections and app icon changes are appreciated.
Affordable price with good value for features offered.
Simple and functional design makes it easy to use.

Cons

Requires the app to remain running for the sidebar to be available, which can be problematic on low RAM devices.
Limited ability to freely adjust the position and thickness of the trigger handle; only preset positions are available.
Lacks advanced customization such as alphabetical sorting of apps, folders, or dividers between app groups.
Delayed responsiveness when opening the sidebar; sometimes requires multiple taps to activate.
Issues with compatibility on some devices and apps, including freezing and inability to open sidebar in third-party launchers or while in other apps.

Recent reviews

It is a nice app, especially for non Edge Samsung devices and it works great. I have two problems: 1. I cannot freely adjust the position of the trigger handle (there are left/right/bottom options, but they place the handle at the extreme top/bottom/center/...), which isn't very desirable. 2. The handle conflicts with the handle of an app that I use, an option for enabling/disabling the handle on a per app basis would be helpful. Overall this is a very nice app, the basic function is fulfilled.

I would like to have the thickness of the smart bar more broad (when I already have choose the thickest one) and also to have the ability to move the different icons inside the sidebar per touch. (Realme 12+ 5G Dual, RMX3867, Android v.14.) Thank You for the application.
