[Android Apps and Games] m2habert:
Impressions and suggestions

I really like your app. It really has an original take on a "all-purpose interface".

Some suggestions and impressions for your consideration:

- I really would like to have a gesture option to go straight to the "search panel", saving one click (and also helping the flow/thinking). Right now I gesture straight to "history" and then swipe left.

- The history panel does not update fast enough. I'm always closing the history to reopen it again in order to reuse/share a very recent search.

- It would be nice to have some kind of system that would group similar history under a collapsed fold. For instance, if I search for "Trump", "Trump world destruction", "Trump is heading to world destruction" in a very short time, the "history" listing is only gonna get garbled.

Since the last opened page (which I ended up spending more time in) is the most representative of that batch of searches, it probably should show up as head of the fold, and all one would need to list ALL searches would be to touch/click to unfold.

The same works for searching for an app: if I made a mistake and searched for "fiovee", then "fioew", then finally got it right with "fooview", a better layout would visually hide those 2 preceeding searches.

- Speaking of search: gesture searching: ¿Would you consider implementing a "no-vogals, consonant only" search?

Skipping vogals greatly speed up the "user thinking " and the targeting: if searching for "Trump", "tru" will have to deal with "trumpet", "true", "truck" and many other matches; while "trm" will only show "trump" and "trumpet". Vogals really don't carry much "informative weight".

(obviously an exception must be made by vogal-beggining words. Thus, for example, "obm" would be a 3 letter example to reach "Obama")

- Speaking of search: gesture searching: ¿Is there a way to improve the gesture input so it would accept 2 or 3 letters in one single take/draw? Still using "Trump" as an example, if one could draw "trp" in one single "stroke" (see pic), then the gesture would really fast things up.

- I read somewhere in the thread that fvalpha's intention is to ultimately let the user config everything. I love that, specially because I always want to set most used buttons closer to the right hand thumb.

In the same vain I would suggest to, similar to the way that fooview has a "1-/2-/3- circle" option for the "app switcher", that the "screenshot/clipping window/interface" could have an expanded circle with sharing options.

Since sharing is the main action regarding multitasking/processing stuff, any "click-saving" would be great.

- On the same subject, I would like to have the possibility of customizing specific contacts on specific apps as a button/option ready to click. For instance, my girlfriend on Telegram, and myself on (my fave) email app. Those are 2 actions I do 80% of the time and a "right away" click would be greatly appreciated.

- Regarding the same "screenshot window", ¿Why an extra click to edit the text? Wouldn't it be more stream lined to just click on it and start typing away?

Regarding the music player:

- fooview treats an ".mp4" as a non-music file (".m4p" works fine). And most of my music lib is made of mp4 s. It's a problem, I can't even send them to a playlist.

- suggestion: pivot thru playlists from a given music:

Let's suppose there's a track x from a "Foo Bar and its Qux" album and that this same track is written in playlists "Foo Bar best", "Loud Rock", "Great Lyrics" and "Bike Selection".

If there was a "Show track on Playlists" options, one could nicely navigate from playlist to playlist. In the sense that "I like what I'm hearing, but I want something close but different." (The user started the day listening to "Foo Bar best", wanted to expand, then went to "Great Lyrics", etc)

Thanks, sorry for the long text.

Thanks again for an amazing app.
