Please change the way to open launcher in SF2.0 on phone [answered]
It seems that in SF2.0, gesture swipe up from bottom is used to open the launcher. If you operate Jolla with one hand, the thumb is hard to reach the bottom of screen but opening launcher is a frequent-used operation. So please consider a better way to open launcher. Thanks!
As @t-lo mentioned in another post, i would suggest holding back critic in single changes until you "experienced" the whole new package. Our current judgement is a derivation on what we are used too now, mixed with outtakes of hands-on videos of unfinished and unreleased software. You will get my upvote if this turns out to be a major quirk. But for now, i trust Jolla not to change things into worse, as some of the SF2.0 posts insinuate. They clearly seems to be an overall plan where to head ui wise. Additionally, Jolla has a good record in "trust fullfillment" and we can be sure they will not overhear constructive criticism once the thing is released!

Anyway I saw in a Hands-on Video that the launcher can also be opened from homescreen if you swipe up, as we do already now. The bottom edge swipe is just another option.
