Perfect Task Switcher (v. 0.9.4-beta) Разработано André Rabold |
Beautiful and intuitive task switcher application which improves the way you use your Android phone. Quickly switch between last used tasks with previews graphics, smooth animations and an easy yet intuitive user interface.
Simply perfect...
FEATURES
* Quick and easy task switcher
* Elegant design in Froyo and Gingerbread style
* Integrates very well with all common home screen replacements like LauncherPro, ADW and Zeam
* Preview of running tasks
* Quickly stop (kill) foreground tasks to free up phone memory and save battery lifetime
* no root required on your phone
HOW IT WORKS
* Launch Perfect Task Switcher by pressing your HOME key
* Press your HOME key a second time to switch to your default launcher (with support for LauncherPro, ADW, and others)
* Swipe through the previews to quickly switch to a running task
KNOWN ISSUES
* Preview graphics are of poor quality. This is a limitation by the Android OS itself. Improved previews for rooted phones and tablets is underway...
* Gingerbread and some CyanogenMod versions do not show previews. This will be fixed for rooted phones soon.
* Perfect Task Switcher does not support Honeycomb.
* Not all key shortcuts (like long-press home) can be supported by this app. This is a limitation of Android and cannot be circumvented.
REMARKS
Task preview graphics are not supported on all Android devices. Quality of the preview graphics is very limited and depends on the manufacturer. As this is a BETA release we've enabled Google Analytics to track your devices capabilities. This anonymous reporting can be disabled anytime through the application's preferences screen.
We're working on improving device compatibility and adding high-res previews for rooted devices in one of the next releases. Stay tuned!

[2013-07-30] A Google User: Not perfect No previews on Gingerbread. Well in the next update.... But last update is from 2011 I mailed the developer to ask him if he still worked on the project. No responce and his website is dead. I hope the developer is still alive, and makes that update. This app has great potential. |
|
[2013-07-30] A Google User: Fain |
|
[2013-07-10] A Google User: Nice but doesn't work This seems legit except it stops whenever I try to switch to an app, so is so far useless on my galaxy s3. |
|
[2013-06-30] A Google User: Crashes with every use Repeated crashes and only effective at closing some apps. |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: Nook HD+ UI looks great but undefined unfortunately force close every time on my nook hd+ =/ |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: Soon to be great (I hope) I like the way this app works, especially the option to activate via the launcher, so I can use it's own button from pie launcher. Unfortunately nine of the previews work on my galaxy note 10.1 (GT-N8010) so it looks a bit crap. Hope dev can fix this. Then it'll be my task switcher of choice. Without previews I may as well continue to use Sidebar. |
|
[2013-06-06] A Google User: keep fc uninstalled |
|
[2013-05-30] A Google User: The best The best, by far, that I've seen. |
|
[2013-05-14] A Google User: No thumbnails Great app, run a little slow on the ascend, and no thumbnails as everyone has been saying. But a great app for phones without multitasking built in |
|
[2013-05-12] A Google User: Works well, does what it says, and bring a needed navigation feature. |
|
[2013-05-11] A Google User: LOVE the concept! Great potential... I've been testing this since first beta on my OG Droid. Current Beta 4 on Moto Bionic with ICS: Will be excellent once kinks are worked out. FC on Bionic when selecting app. Needs option to "flick" one app at a time instead of slide/scroll. Doesn't show app previews (never has since first beta). Dev-PLEASE put some effort into the preview issue and add an option for single-preview "flick" (rather than letting it continuous scroll). These two items will make this the best app-switcher on the market! |
|
[2013-04-30] A Google User: baaad It crashes all the time!!! Xperia J jelly bean |
|
[2013-04-03] A Google User: No more on Android 4 This works excelently on my old Android 2.2 phone. It's fast and I really loved being able to close out of the apps. Unfortunately, in addition to not being able to see thumbnails of the apps, any attempt to switch to one force-closes the app on my S3... I'll miss this app! |
|
[2013-03-22] A Google User: Meh You either lose the ability to access your home screen like normal, or you lose the ability to open your voice search. Not worth it. |
|
[2013-03-18] A Google User: scroll vertically why don't it scroll vertically for easy reading task list |
|
[2013-03-17] A Google User: Makes your tab hang and... Shoud fill the whole ribbon w/ apps immediately without having to scroll. The screenshots should be optionally disabled! Resourse hog! Don't install until a 1.0 ver. is avaliable. |
|
[2013-03-16] A Google User: Doesn't show thumbnails... Doesn't show thumbnail and crashes... |
|
[2013-03-15] A Google User: Crash, crash, crash... ...uninstall. (SGNote2) |
|
[2013-03-02] A Google User: Far from perfect Lived this app before. Since upgrading to a RAZR, Does not work with jelly bean. Anybody got a work around? |
|
[2013-03-02] A Google User: Crashes on usage App crashes whenever I switch a task. Helce not good. |
|
[2013-03-02] A Google User: Crash on Jelly Bean 4.11 (Alps 9 - ARMv7) Crash on Jelly Bean 4.11 (Alps 9 - ARMv7) |
|
[2013-02-28] A Google User: Force close issues of late Nonetheless superb control at switching to and fro recent apps. |
|
[2013-02-22] A Google User: Excellent Something like this should come standard on android. |
|
[2013-02-08] A Google User: Dope Works just as good as 4.0 task manager. Could use a kill all button though. |
|
[2013-02-07] A Google User: Not Perfect crashes while switching the tasks Using xperia ray with ICS |
|
[2013-02-06] A Google User: Crashes on rooted nook hd+ on switch Also there should be an option for smaller icons |
|
[2013-01-22] A Google User: Good but Would be cool if there was a one touch button to switch to the last task. Like a quick alt tab on windows without bringing up the list. |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: good good but previews are.always unavailable |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Splendid Smashing app my deary! |
|
[2012-12-12] A Google User: Junk Don't waste your time |
|
[2012-12-12] A Google User: Need an update As its still in beta but it has the task switching function just what i wanted but once in settings if we try to clear the null which is not present then its just stops the app from opening by using home key so please provide an update for this please |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: crashed Crashed on my HTC Vivid with ICS. |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Sony Xperia S Excellent idea But when I select an app to launch it crashes. No exceptions it will crash everytime. |
|
[2012-11-24] A Google User: 1. problem allow people to remove main launcher form task list. |
|
[2012-11-19] A Google User: This doesn't work properly Sometime it display current application incorrecty. |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: What is 'no preview available' good for? To waste all the screen and force user to start unproductive scrolling! |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Ok But forcecloses in my phone |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Good idea. The ideas good, but the previews don't work with me. And, there's no cool switch animation. I recomend something else. |
|
[2012-11-08] A Google User: crashes crashes when a program is selected. |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Best out there... As far as functionally, I've tested them all, this is the best. It takes only a quick min to master and the long press and Swype feature is brilliant. on my preview tiles there is an overlayed message that says ”preview not available” even though the preview of each program is present behind the text. make the notification bar accessible in tile preview mode, voice integration and options for preview tile display would be my only requests. Well done, team, well done. Peace. |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Awesome app just one thing.... Great app, love the interface. Very natural. Only suggestion is maybe you could make the thumbnail for unknown apps to be the app icon? |
|
[2012-10-29] A Google User: Rooted Xperia X1 CM7 Not really perfect. It would be better if the task switcher would come up after double clicking the home button. Still a great app :) |
|
[2012-10-28] A Google User: Unuseable Constantly crashes on Xoom. Unusable. |
|
[2012-10-21] A Google User: * Could look better |
|
[2012-10-19] A Google User: Doesn't work for me. This doesn't seem to work on my stock/unrooted gs3 Verizon. |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: muy bueno me gusto mucho este task mananger es bastante bueno. :) si no tienes un task manager integrado en el celu usa este |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Same as two years ago No new changes same promises same issues |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Needs improvement but not bad Thumbnails wont show up trust me I've waited also Needs to be a simple swipe up to exit application instead of long press. Still Needs to be smoother |
|
[2012-09-28] A Google User: I think I like it......... grt app |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Great app, but Sliding animation is a little bit laggy and it doesnt show previews. Samsung ACE2 Also notificaitions bar should be visible. But still it is an awesome app. |

|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Great as is, but can easily become the BEST! Small, fast, low on ram consumtion, zilch cpu burden & almost seamless integration with stock and rooted launchers! If they thing of a better app layout I would gladly give it 5 shining stars! |

[2012-07-20] A Google User: Would be great... I really like the way this application is intended to work. I don't like long pressing the home button on my GS3 to switch apps. Sadly it doesn't work properly. The app thumbnails do not show up and the task switcher crashes every time a different app is selected. This is easily a 5 star app if these things get fixed. |

|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Not bad Cannot ignore any apps so your launcher shows up. Says "thumbnail not available" overtop of all the thumbnails. Cannot close all open apps. But still a nics task switcher. Switches between running apps, not frequently used apps. Could be really nice with a few simple changes. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Not working On ics |

[2012-07-06] A Google User: Awesome I just Downgrade from ICS cuz My Neo can't run most of the Games in ICS but I was really missing Recent app feature of ICS until I found this App. This app is perfect for me, There is not search key in Neo so holding menu key isn't working though but everything working fine. I hope developer will add ICS style app switcher soon. |

[2012-06-21] A Google User: Essential app for any device! I love this app, I set it to long press on search and it allows super easy access to any "tab" or running process on your system. Click the checkbox for "Close tabs button" to manage what is running in the background. |

[2012-06-17] A Google User: Bad performance The idea is good but this is slower than using just default home screen with "Quick Task Switcher Widget". Perhaps this is worth using if your device has enough CPU power... |
