Use gestures to search for items on your Android

Gesture Search is a cool Google application for your Android. It allows you to search for contacts, applications, music and other items by drawing the first few letters of the item's name directly onto the screen.

The idea of Gesture Search is pretty cool. If you have lots of applications and items on your phone, or if you want an alternative to searching by typing and scrolling, you should definitely give a try. It's easy to use, and really fun!

You open Gesture Search either by opening the application normally or using the Double Flip, a physical flip of the phone that opens the app. Once the black screen appears, draw the first letter of the item you want. When options start to show, refine the results by typing subsequent letters, or start over by drawing a short line to the right.

Once you've used Gesture Search to find the item, just click as normal to open it. There's a getting started guide that will teach you everything you need to know, and you can access it multiple times if you ever need a refresher.

Gesture Search is a useful and fun way to search your Android phone by just touching the screen.

User reviews about Gesture Search

I really hope so too, I Iove the app.

by Glenn Sanderson

I have been using this for years, absolutely love it, it's character recognition is accurate and fast. Unfortunately the latest Samsung S24 UI 6.1 will not allow it to be installed, very disappointed.There is another Version of Gesture Search available on Play Store but it is terrible.

by Jim

Great App, until the last Android update! Now it doesn't work. Hoping the developer fixes it.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
