SwipePad: Faster app switching for Android

Multitasking work on Android devices, that’s nothing new, but the tap and hold technique is not the fastest way for you to switch between apps on Android.

SwipePad is a free app that allows you to switch between apps on your Android phone faster and it looks way cooler. All you need to do is swipe across the screen to call out a pad with all your running apps. The gesture to call out the pad is customisable so you can have a gesture that you’re comfortable with, and you can also add shortcuts for frequently called numbers, apps or just about anything else you’d like to have access to in a jiffy (like folders or files).

We tried it out for ourselves and it’s a utility that we can really get comfortable with. If you are running an Android device, it’s something we recommend you try out.

If you need more convincing, head over to after the jump for a demo video on how SwipePad works. To download, search for SwipePad in the Android Market direct from your Android phone.
