Description
Been using Edge Side Bar – App Shortcuts for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you quickly open your most used apps with just a swipe from the edge of your screen. Pretty solid if you’re into productivity and timesaving tools.
Here’s how it works: you can add up to 5 columns of app shortcuts to the side bar. So you’ve got tons of quick access to your favorite apps. There’s also a bunch of customization options – you can change the icon style, background color, transparency, and more. Took me a while to figure out all the settings but it’s worth it.
Look, if you’re constantly jumping between apps, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a little annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job pretty well. Worth checking out if you want a simple way to speed up your phone use.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on Edge Side Bar - App Shortcuts. I've tested a bunch of productivity apps like this and this one's up there. The customization options are great and I love being able to access my most used apps with just a swipe. Beats having to navigate home screens or search through folders. The only real downside is the ads, but that's kind of expected for a free app. Overall, it's a really handy little tool that's made my phone use a lot more efficient.
