App Description
Unleash the power of S Pen with PenStar.
With PenStar, the power of S Pen is in your hands. No longer do you need to depend on developers to implement Air Actions in their apps. You get to customise which S Pen gestures perform which actions in any app.
Whether you're navigating your device, controlling media, or performing your own custom actions, PenStar makes it all possible with just a flick of the S Pen.
Every S Pen gesture can be customised:
• Click
• Double Click
• Long Click
• Left
• Right
• Up
• Down
• Pointy Left
• Pointy Right
• Pointy Up
• Pointy Down
• Circle Clockwise
• Circle Counterclockwise
• Shake
Supported actions include:
• Last App
• Open App
• Auto Rotate (Enable / Disable / Toggle)
