Love the app, but it doesn't like to play well with BossPrefs or SBSettings. Too bad, otherwise killer app

Really really great. While the beta was buggy for me and I uninstalled it, the 1.0 release works great. Flawless so far. I use this with Quickdo and Kirikae (for Spotlight as I am using Pogoplank). Works brilliantly.

This is a great app and the developer makes great stuff. Can someone tell me what theme is used in the above screenshot?

In reply to Faraz.

Actually I have seen this now – but only with one app – the Phone app. All others, even built-in apps like Mail / Safari close just fine – but the Phone app seems to take down ProSwitcher with it. Anyone else seeing that?

In reply to joetomasone. Ah yes - Kirikae can be easily added back into the mix thanks to all the activation options for this one. I'm good with mQuickDo and ProSwitcher for now, but will be keeping that option in mind.

Well that didn't take long. AppSwitcher is EASILY THE WINNER! The added improvements of choice invoking methods, and the ability to have page dots, dock icons at the bottom, and just a more stable feel than multifl0w makes it easily outshine the others! I had read that this one was coming soon…thanks for the post Patrick!

Alright, giving it a shot. Been using Multifl0w…gonna compare and see which I like better.

In reply to Mike11. Good point - updated the post to mention it is in public beta. The source will still need to be added regardless of its beta status until it is picked up by one of the default repos included in Cydia.

I think you should have mentioned somewhere that the reason why you have to manually add the source in Cydia is because ProSwitcher is not final yet, it's in public beta!

In reply to patrickj. Me either. Closing an app with the "x" or by sliding it up keeps me in ProSwitch.

Minor error – perhaps other are experiancing it as well.

When you activate ProSwitch via. your "shortcut" and have those apps running in the background – The error I experiance is that when i chose to "turn off" an app via ProSwitch the ProSwitch functionalitet "goes away" and i have to restart ProSwitch from my short cut.

Anyone having the same prob?

Faraz

I am LOVING this! Pinch for Overboard, spread for ProSwitcher, double-home for Kirikae, down-swipe for mQuickDo!

In reply to donovanwatts.

Yes sir. In Cydia, go to the 'Manage' tab and choose the 'Sources' item – then tap on Edit, then Add – and enter that URL and hit Add Source.
