My BIGGEST peeve with this app - You can't actually add any widget that requires any sort of customisation before it is placed, because the panel closes automatically. For example, if you select a photo widget that requires you to choose the photos you want to be displayed, you can't actually do that, because the panel slides shut when you try. UPDATE - I tried disabling auto-close after watching the tutorials, still doesn't work.

I left Zone Launcher for this. Panels is just as cool—if not better! Although I think, I don't know if it's just my device—but the panel opens way too slow when triggered.

This is what Samsung edges should be.

I find it really handy being able to pull a panel on the screen with all the apps that I use regularly. That way, no matter what app I'm in, I can switch instantly to a different one when I need to

One annoying bug - even though all notifications are disabled for Panels, the Android system still issues notification about displaing over top, which I cannot get rid of. The handle also disappears after one swipe, then reappears after a couple blind swipes.

what an awesome app - if you put some time and effort into setting it up, you'll make your phone very easy to navigate and won't want to go back. thank you dev for your excellent work!

Good when it actually works. Trigger bar disappears all the time which makes me have to launch the app again for it to show. Annoying!
