- It is a free to use app. So just download and install that first in your phone.
- To get maximum features from this app you will need a device with Android 4.3 or higher. IT works well on Android 4.1 or higher OS.
- One you are done with the installation you have to go in the settings to customize it as per your need. This is going to take less time.
- The entire download size is around 1.72MB. I am using this with Smart Launcher where it works well.
- Next time when you get any message you can drag that from bottom to view it. Here you can also go ahead and configure custom notification sounds.
- There is a smart blacklist option available in this. If you don t want any update related to browsing or other stuff you can block those apps in it.
The settings menu in Floatify gives you a lot of options. But many things are not available that is because of free edition. IF you go with Pro you get more options to use. You can also enable gesture control in this.
