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!

@fishegg: "If you operate Jolla with one hand, the thumb is hard to reach the bottom of screen". That depends on how you hold your phone. You have some flexibility here.

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.

As I see it, there's that old way, and new "pull" from bottom so you can get into app launcher when you're using an app.

Okay, I didn't know the user can still call up the launcher in the current way. I have no objection if pull from home-screen is also available.

From the demos the current way of calling up launcher is still available (pull from home-screen).

What a relief. I havn't seen it on any demo from mwc. Still hope they will make the edge swypes user customisable.
