"Note to HTC One M8 users: you must disable Fast Boot in order to have Sidebar start on boot, otherwise you will have start the app manually. I`ve used this app for some time, and I love it. It`s great for quickly accessing favorite apps and also for killing running apps."

"I find the app very useful. Unfortunately, every now and then, it will lag, and I`ll repeat the swipe to activate it and end up swiping my icon right off the sidebar. Since I can`t change position of where the icons are, I have to delete everything after it before re-adding it back in. Please add the ability to edit the order of each icon."

"It`s almost perfect! 2 issues. 1) should have the ability to choose and apply an entire icon pack via the settings menu... The change-one-icon-at-a-time-from-the-side-bar thing is quite cumbersome and time consuming. 2) The aforementioned icon changing doesn`t even work. Every time I try to select a different icon, doesn`t matter what icon or for which app, it simply says ``Error retrieving image``."

"I am liking this app so far, I just wish they could make the activation point visible if wanted in a way that was not disruptive. Also I noticed that the icon pack are not working when I tried to switch the icon, it would be great if it would use the icon pack I am using with the Nova launcher by default."

"Using SlimLP and it doesn`t have the Ribbons feature.. Looking for an app that could do the same thing and found this gem. Its beautiful and works amazingly well with no lags or hiccups. My only problem is there`s no way to change the icon with a theme pack. Every time I try to change the icon, I get the error ``Error retrieving image``. Really annoying not being able to simply set an icon from a theme pack. Tried both Kodev`s Nox and Dekk packs with no luck."

"The sidebar slides in fine but I have to touch an app icon 2-3 times for it to actually open. It`s faster to just open my previous app tray than do this. Needs an update because it`s currently a waste of money"

"A great app with a few flaws. Consistently resets the swipe location and recently I have had to turn off `drawing over other apps` for it to allow permissions for anything else. Kind of annoying"

"Can`t reorder icons, need to be able to add multiple apps at once, app list takes ages to load (other apps do not have this problem), weirdness happens when there`s an app that has been uninstalled on it, I couldn`t remove certain icons or insert one above it (for apps that are still installed), I had to remove 5 apps that I no longer have installed from the settings manually"
