Please consider adding this functionality. I would like to rate it with more stars, but more gestures and a wider range of actions is needed, like starting an app, or other controls of the iPad itself. ## Frequently asked questions about Auto Gesture Detection ### What gestures does Auto Gesture Detection recognize?
