Loopr – Task Switcher App for Android Review
If you’re not so comfortable with your phone’s native app switcher, you can always look for third-party apps in Google Play Store. One such task switcher app to make waves of late is Loopr – Task Switcher app for Android. It is essentially a task switcher, pretty much like the recent apps menu on your android system, but with much quicker access and a few more options. You can get Loopr – Task Switcher Android app for free from Google Play Store.
Loopr – Task Switcher Features
Loopr – Task Switcher app for Android displays the recently opened apps. In other words, you can use it to switch back and forth between the apps that you’d recently launched. In a way, this is similar to your phone’s recent app’s menu, but comes with a different style. What is different with Loopr app for Android is that it does not put any buttons on your NavBar or homescreen. Instead, you can set preferred trigger zones so that you only need to tap on the edge of the screen to view recently launched apps. By default, the app uses both the right and left sides of your phone screen as trigger points even though you can change that through app’s trigger settings. Performance wise, Loopr app is responsive and runs smoothly. All you got to do is to tap lightly on the screen edge to launch the recent app list. It is not obtrusive either.
The USP of Loopr app for Android is that it is easy to configure plus it is user friendly. You can use the app in conjunction with native task switcher even though it works pretty well as a standalone app. It also features some nice looking transition effects such as zoom fade, fade and slide up. You can also change/vary the color of its app info text and app ring. On the flip side, Loopr does not have a task killer feature. Live Preview that allows you to quick peek the running apps, and Icon Pack’s support, to keep your phone’s look are available only as in-app purchases. It will cost about $2.68 to do in-app purchases. Loopr is compatible with Android OS 2.2 and up.
Conclusion
Loopr – Task Switcher app for Android is a beautifully designed task switcher app that you would come to love. It is slick, easy to use, and most importantly non obtrusive on the home screen. It is pretty easy to configure and customize to suit your requirements. The transition effects look good. But you got to make in-app purchases to enjoy features such as Live Preview and Icon pack’s support. Verdict: Worth checking out.
