It will be a straight line to the top if I slip down to the mquickdo bar.
PS : only quickreply.

Would you like a giveaway of this app among the users? I'm from the developer team.

I actually have the same reaction to OmniFocus – superb app, super powerful, but just too much for me, for my way of working. I use Things on iPhone and desktop (Mac only) and love its simple, elegant UI.

Exploring other options = never a bad thing. I haven't done that in quite a while, but iPhone OS keeps me pretty content most of the time. I have my gripes and complaints (often), but still don't see a mobile platform I think can match it.

Thanks for your kind words – and look forward to your thoughts on Android and WebOS.

I also gave the app a try. At first I liked the ability to launch apps from my lockscreen. However, I ended up going back to the default way or more traditional way without it. Sometimes I think we try too hard to make thinks simple. Like Omnifocus for example, great todo app for some people but just too much for me. As much as I like the iphone 3gs, I find myself exploring other options……like android. HTC Sense in Hero is just the beginning and the webOS is totally fresh. Do you know what I mean………Great review though 😉

Cool, glad to hear you 'joined the club' – Is there a club? 🙂 That's a nice setup with the swipe to enable backgrounding, would be nice if there was disable backgrounding action as well though.

Glad it's working better for you. I never had much success with the swipe up either. I'm liking Brian's suggested setup with Switcher bar up at the top and a quick slide down from right about middle of status bar to pull it up. Finding it easy to pull up mQucikDo that way, and SBSettings via its default swipe action as well.

I love it. I'm starting to miss my home screen because i rarely see it anymore!! Between using mQuickdo and intelliscreen(where i can read and launch my emails, sms, return missed calls, check news and sports all from the lockscreen) i'm hardly there anymore! But mQuick do is great! A major feature that apple should have integrated into the OS. But that's why great devs have jobs right?!?! 🙂
Well I figure i might as well add my 2 cents about my prefs with mquick. I've found myself using backgrounder quite a bit more often now. I've assigned it to short swipe left. And app switcher to short swipe right. That way if i'm in an app or game that I know i'll want to return to and not relaunch, just invoke backgrounder with a swipe. Then i can go do whatever needed to be done, swipe for app switcher and jump right back in without missing a beat!!
What I wish i could make happen was an auto-invoking of backgrounder when you use app switcher to jump programs..maybe next update 🙂

-John Steele – I think it depends more on the programming of each specific app whether it it will resume after being interrupted by a call. From my experience, the majority of apps do that automatically.

Well, I take back what I just said. I installed again and it now works pretty well. I can't seem to figure out how to swipe from bottom up. It only works from up to bottom.

I found it a fair bit of a challenge to get used to at first – but once you get it, it works very well and is so worthwhile.

The most interesting feature is the swipe up/down to switch from app to app but this feature would only work 1 out of 10 times. I had to remove the app for this reason. I might give it another try…

Hey Brian – glad to hear you're liking the app as well. Will update the post to reflect your correction on how to add apps to the bar. Also, thanks so much for mentioning your preferred positioning and gesture for the bar. Just gave that a try and like it much better!

Right now, if I am playing Crash or Real Soccer '09 and I get a phone call my existing progress is lost, after I hang up the application is restarted, but not resumed.

Please continue with this series I am a new iPhone user (waited until 3gs) and am very on the fence about jailbreaking!

It is quickly becoming one of my staples. I haven't purchased it yet. I'm making sure it plays nice with everything else I do, but I will almost certain purchase this in the next couple days.

Quick comment about your explanation of how to add apps to the quick launch bar; It is not necessary to background anything to get it on the quick launcher. Just run the app and while it's running, open up the app switcher and drag the icon down.

I also noticed inconsistent behavior in the various gestures. I ended up moving the bar to the top of the screen where the status bar is and it seems to work better. I disabled the short and long swipe to the right gestures in order to not conflict with SBSettings. Long swipe down from the status bar opens my app switcher. Swipe right opens SBSettings. I'm loving it so far. My only wishes are for badges to show on the quick launcher icons and possibly a second row for more apps to quickly launch.

Keep up the jailbreak posts. You're finding a lot of goodies real quick!
