When you have to change several times between two applications, I find it sometimes a little clumsy to move the app to home and then find refind it from there.

The way you open the Events screen is very prarctical, you can easily just have a look at or open the screen whenever. The same way could also be used when changing between two apps, and the pulley menu with several apps, that could be stored in stack. Suggestions:

  1. Swiping up from the right side of the bottom of the screen opens the last used app. It would be very easy to shuttle between two apps. The Events screen is opend by swiping up from the left side .
  2. Closing an app by swiping up from the bottom moves it to stack, where you could have 3-4 apps. The stack apps are also seen in the Home screen. When you add more apps to the stack, the first one is dropped off.

3.If there are apps in the stack, they can be chosen from a pulley menu at the bottom of the screen.

Hope this makes sense. I think it would make using Jolla more fluent, but have no idea if these suggestion are possible to accomplish :)

Yes, it handles the same probblem. I've often found, that its easier to find an app in the launcher than in the home screen, because there you know where the app is and what it looks like.. That is not the case in the home screen, espedially if you have more than 4 apps open. Not very handy.

Now I'm suggesting a way to change between apps ´with just one natural gesture of the thumb'. Isn't that what Jolla is about ? :) Would make Jolla usability much better..
