I've been using it for a little bit and its pretty nice. You can also set it up to go to the last previous app that was open and in reverse (Separate commands via Activator).

You can set it up to basically whatever you want to open the active app list. It appears like a dock to the right of your screen and is also scrollable.

Here are some pics-

Enjoy :)

Reminds me of QuickDo (appearance), but with less functionality. You can get the same kind of appearance with quickdo's appswitcher, with the added ability to background apps, take a snapshot, bring up ipod controls, etc. from the bar. If they added an ability to launch a specific app, it'd be golden.

Does scrolling down the list show you previews of the open apps?

Yeah it shows you the other apps you have open. Since it only shows 4 open apps at a time, you have to scroll down to see the other ones.
 
I just downloaded it and I like it more than ProSwitcher...its less steps to get to the app you want, in proswitcher you have to flick through each open app one at a time, this one shows you 4 that are open at a time and the scrolling is smoooooth.

Yep it's really nice. Extremely polished IMO for a 1.0 release.

I cant find it in Cydia?
 
That's odd I just searched and it's there. It's in the BigBoss repo. Try again and also try refreshing your sources.

That is odd, I already tried refreshing sources. Closest thing I find when searching the BigBoss repo is "Circuitry slider themes"
wierd...

OK, I just refreshed my sources again and this time it showed up.

Thanks!!

I'm sorry I misunderstood what you asked. Scrolling down only shows you the other apps you having running but not a preview of what's in the certain app like Proswitcher does.
 
A new update is out, I was wondering what changes were made, I know you can now access it from the lockscreen and it also displays available memory. What is the homepage of this app?
 
Very cool program...there up to Ver. 1.5.1 now. This seems to be alot better than Proswitcher.
 
But are they ever going to make it iPad compatible? I really like it on my iPhone, but there is really nothing out there for the iPad as far as background switchers. This would be great. (I know, this isn't the iPad forum, have been watching there also, just not much activity in the iPad JB forum)

just give it time nothing happens overnight! ;)
 
I understand that, good things take time and all. I also understand that it would be kind of hard to do this before the iPad was available and it's only been out for a little while now. I really don't expect it to be ready yet. I'm just curious if the dev is working on an iPad compatible version or not. I figure he/she has probably been buried in emails asking this question so I thought I would just ask here in case someone has already gotten an answer. The less he/she gets bothered the faster it will happen.

Or, I could just wait until OS 4.0 comes out I guess.... but the iPad version will be awhile.

Guess it just shows that you should never give up checking - that youtube video came out yesterday. Thanks! All my searches came up empty but I haven't looked in about a week (my bad), figured I would just check the forums...
 
I have this on my iPad right now. App switching works quite well, but any attempt to activate the dock throws the iPad into safe mode.
