## Description

Swipe Back - Edge Gesture brings intuitive edge swipe navigation to any Android app. Use left, right and bottom edge gestures to trigger Back, Home, Recent Apps, Screenshots, Split Screen, Power Dialog, Toggle Notifications, Dialer, Browser, Voice Command and many other actions. The extension supports near/far swipe modes, partitioned edges, and per-gesture customization for size, display and sensitivity so you can tailor gestures to any workflow.

The app requires Accessibility permission to use the Accessibility API for reliable navigation actions. Setup is quick: enable accessibility, review the intro, enable left/right/bottom edge views, then swipe to perform actions. Easy customization, helpful defaults, and support via dlinfosoft@gmail.com make it simple to add powerful, system-level gesture navigation to your device.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the app for its smooth, fast, and responsive gesture navigation that effectively replaces back buttons and works well with Android 12. It is praised for being simple and having good features.

Overall, the app is highly recommended despite these drawbacks.
