When it closes (when closing all apps) or crashes it's taking too long to start again even though Autostart is on. I'm having less problems with FNG. Sadly can't refund the app now... Edit: I just noticed I can manually restart it in the Quick menu, which is always available so I can't brick my phone by closing all apps. Also less crashes than FNG, so 5 stars again Edit 2: No Crashes at all

Have you disabled the battery optimization for the app too?

It works well enough. I'd love for the ability to set the length arbitrarily even when overriding system gestures. I get that it's a limitation, still. When that can't be figured out (perhaps it could be archived with a companion app) then the the settings experience could still be improved. Disable/limit the setting for the vertical length with feedback why, so that the issue is easier to identify (since these 2 settings are far from each other).

The best replacement for Samsungs edge gestures in my opinion. With it I can use the Pixel gestures without the back one. You can remove the back gesture on pixels with your PC. I have one edge gesture on either side. Both when swiped are a back button. The left one has apps. When swiped to the middle and up and down you can control the volume. The other side of the phone controls the brightness. It made my Pixel a lot better to use.
