    Today stopped working on my android 13. Cleared cache, restarted phone.... no result. Any possible reason for not working? App opens fine, settings are all ok. But side bar doesn't draw out.

    Unfortunately, the app still does not work on newer model's. I purchased years ago & each time I get a phone I install. The app does install, but half the features don't work. *****I have reached out to them, but nothing happened. Remember they have had "YEARS" to fix this problem. If they respond I will leave follow up feedback and a date.*****

    I love it. Can you add the ability to choose from recently open apps as well? Would also apriciate it if the bar stays active on the screen even after selecting an app so it won't collapsed? Thank you

    Better than Sidebar 2 so far (by same app developer). If it doesn't stay running search "Battery Optimization" in the settings and set Sidebar Pro to "Not Optimized". Works great still on my rooted overclocked Galaxy S5 with Lineage OS Android 9. Just installed today. Thanks again! Legit purchase, too. Later!
