    The transparent button settings caught my attention. Now it's clear to everyone that the buttons aren't functioning properly. If the system keys fail or a specific area on the display malfunctions, it's hard to miss it. I really hope for an option to adjust the scale width or enlarge the touchpad area. That would make a huge difference!

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Google Pixel has its quirks when it comes to customization. A minimalist theme sounds like a great idea. Think simple designs with three dots or three hyphens. Clean and straightforward. Would really give the interface a fresh, modern vibe.

    I really like this navigation bar. It has some cool features that make it stand out. First, I can set custom actions for long-presses, which adds a personal touch. Second, it doesn’t disappear on its own. I can keep it there until I swipe it away. Lastly, it has a better design compared to the regular Android one. Still, I can think of ways to improve it even more. Adding support for extra custom actions would be awesome, especially for launching tasker shortcuts. Also, having more than just three buttons would give me even more options. That would definitely take it up a notch!

    The app is fantastic. It offers amazing customization options without any cost. I use it primarily to lock my screen and adjust the volume, which helps prevent damage to the buttons. My only annoyance is with the face unlock feature. When I lock my screen through the navigation bar, it doesn’t allow me to unlock using my face. I have to type in a pin or draw a pattern since it’s technically admin locked. Not sure if there’s a fix for that, but I’d love to hear if anyone has a solution. Overall, this app is really great.

    It's amazing! Everything looks perfect. It fits so well, like it was made just for that spot. The different button styles are fantastic. Watching a few ads feels worth it because it’s all free!

    This app is amazing! It helped me a lot since my phone's navigation buttons aren't working due to a touch issue. The app fixed that completely. One little problem, though. If I tilt my device, it sometimes gets triggered accidentally, and I end up out of the app. It would be great if there was a feature to make it pop up only when I want it. Overall, this app is fantastic for serious issues. I will definitely recommend it!

    That's awesome to hear! Glad it works great for you. The black background thing is a bit surprising. It took some time for you to find it in the color selector. A simple option for black would make things easier. Many people probably prefer that classic look. Something to consider for the future!

    I really love this app. It became super useful when my navigation bar stopped working. Sometimes, though, the app just closes while I'm using other apps. That can be frustrating because I can't get out of them without resetting my phone. I hoped that upgrading to pro would fix this issue, but it didn't work. Is there a way to keep this app open all the time, no matter what? If not, I feel like I wasted my money trying to solve my original problem.

    Wow, that sounds frustrating! The S7 Edge touch buttons giving out can be such a hassle. Navigating without the recent button is tricky. It's great you found an app for virtual buttons! Awesome that it resembles the S8 and Note 8 bar. That's a nice touch! So glad you’re feeling happier now! 😊😍
