Long-Press to Drag should not not disengage after letting go

UPDATE: The dev listens. So changed review from 3 stars to 4 stars. There is some hitching issues when moving the mouse horizontally. I move the mouse to the right and it hitches back to the left as I continue moving right. Maybe the unified server program on windows and Linux needs updating. I wish the server program was better at working on windows and Linux (Steam deck/machine) as soon as the computer is started and it on the Lock Screen where I put in the password. But I’m glad we’re getting updates after 5 years of nothing. Happy I paid for the app back then.



Prior to the new update, long-press to drag would allow you to continue dragging after lifting your finger. You would need to long-press again to disable the dragging. This was very useful when dragging windows from one side of the screen to the other while having your phone in portrait mode. Please reinstate this feature or at least allow us to have an option in settings for it. I used the hold to drag feature everyday but now it takes forever to drag a window since everything I lift my finger after moving it to the edge of my phone, and reposition my finger on the opposite edge of the phone to continue dragging, then the drag would disengage and I would have to long press again. The long press takes at least a second to activate, and the phone will vibrate, so having to constantly reengage the long press leads to a lot of time to do a simple thing like drag a window to the other side of the screen to snap it in place. Please reenable this feature.

A fix is already on the way! Thanks for your patience.

Amazing app

I had been searching forever, when I found this app and it had everything I needed! That was years ago and its been working perfectly since! After seeing the new update it felt like I should say how much I love the app. I thought it was abandoned for a lil bit!

Still broken after last update

Still closing basic control with a back swipe after the last update
Constantly stops working
Has become absolutely useless
I’m now at the point I want a refund
Why after so long without an update did you break it?
Then released another update claiming everything is fixed when it clearly is not
Used to be amazing
I’m now looking for alternatives

I use this every day, genuinely

The only app that doesn’t get worse when you update it!
