[2012-03-18] Trishul: Its not working Vack key is not working.... |
|
[2012-03-18] Daniel: PERFECT!!! Only one thing, when I try to deactivate, it reactivates later on after a reboot or something. Other then that it is PERFECT for codename Android with out the NEXUS NAVI buttons. Galaxy Nexus 4.0.3 -ROOTED- Codename Android 1.5.0 |
|
[2012-03-17] maddada: THIS APP IS GREAT!!! Thank you very much for the effort that you put into making one of the most used apps on my phone! (Its always running) I am going to buy the full version the day google allows me to buy apps in the market. Thanks again! |
|
[2012-03-17] Don2x: Best application from a genius I rarely do comments but this author just kept doing great and useful applications that I just had to commend him. Kudos to you sir! Button Savior is implementation ingenious. Once again, thank you for creating great apes. |
|
[2012-03-17] Israel: Awesome!! This app is very useful but i have one problem. Im running on Miui and i have a setting where i can turn off the home keys and everything and i use the button savior, everything works except the back button! We" ll can u fix this thks |
|
[2012-03-16] James: Creates Dead Zone Swipe to show is nice, but it makes the side of the screen dead. Apps & games with controls under the swipe zone are now unusable. New buttons are more clutter than useful... these poorly implemented new features hurt Button Savior. Top half screen zone is pitiful workaround that does not solve the problem for... well, the top half of the screen. Workaround also marginalizes swipe usage on tablet, where bottom half swipe is more user accessible. Premature & poorly considered implementation ... |
|
[2012-03-16] Stephen: Very good I love it so much. I am using Kindle fire and it is a must. |
|
[2012-03-15] Kiko: I don't have rooted phone I just cchanged my review I don't have rooted phone sry..:D |
|
[2012-03-14] isaacmc: Love it, but... I loved how it was possible to swipe from any place of the side of the screen. It can't be possible with the latest update. Just the top part. Please, bring it back and it would be back to perfect. |
|
[2012-03-14] Smooth: NICE! Great app ...I use it on my rooted kindle fire. Highly recommend. |
|
[2012-03-14] Frank: Great app Exactly what I needed when the buttons on my droid x died. Saved me from buying a new phone for another 3 months |
|
[2012-03-14] crehren: Great on Nook Tablet This is a great app and I'm very thankful for it. Sure, the current version has two issues: I don't like the "top half only" swipe to show function and wish you could set it to either full, top half or bottom half. The screen freeze on orientation is very annoying but I know the author is aware and working on the fix.. give him a break and rate accordingly... a one star rating over a bug which is being corrected is over the top and you people so rarely change them later. For now I'm just going to look for a copy of the older version. Cheers!! |

[2012-03-13] RAY: BXRAY DA PERFECT APP FOR REPLACING SOFTKEYS ***** |

[2012-03-12] John: Great app. Easy navigation Great app. I use it on my nook and galaxy tab. Allows me much easier navigation. Love the new features. Developer has been very attentive to fixing bugs. |
|
[2012-03-12] Thomas: NO LONGER DEEP SLEEP NOOK. Color. It appears to be just turning off the screen. Nook used to show awake line turning on and off. Now it shows awake always on when in sleep mode. .Using. battery more when asleep. Was 5 stars before. Please fix |
|
[2012-03-11] Anonymous: Excellent App Very useful on my rooted Optimus V. Wouldn't mind seeing an app drawer button. |
|
[2012-03-11] akarsh: buttons on SGM were almost falling off..but then this saved my phone ! Thanx devs ! |
|
[2012-03-10] Michael: Very good Jerry has done a great job on this, and it gets better all the time. |
|
[2012-03-10] Luci: Great and useful app As the title says, this app is very useful. It seems that with the latest update, a strange bug occurs. Whenever I press the hardware home button in a full screen app (a game), the whole system just hangs for about 3-4 seconds, and then home app is opened. If I kill the Button Savior service, the behavior does not occur anymore. Strange thing is that "Home" functionality is instant with the Button Savior virtual home key, but with the hardware key there is this delay. (Samsung I9100) Edit: It seems that this occurs only when Trigger mode = "Swipe From Side". With Icon Click Trigger, home button correctly function. Bought the full version to show support to developer, but would like also this strange bug to be fixed. |
|
[2012-03-10] Janet: Great App for my Nooks This is a great app I use om my Nook Tablet and Nook Simpletouch. Keep up the great work and frequent updates. |
|

|
[2012-03-08] mjgialanella: Change it back! The latest update makes it almost impossible to use on a consistent basis. The previous version was much more user friendly. Overall, it's been great on my rooted in Fire. |
|
[2012-03-08] Chris: Nice app. This is a great app to save your buttons. My power button went bad on my droid x. I got a replacement and immediately look for a solution for locking my phone without using three power button. This app was perfect. I bought the pro version. Well worth it. |
|
