Summary

  • Quick Cursor turns one-handed Android use into a swipe-and-tap workflow by placing a virtual pointer on screen, letting users reach buttons, launchers and the notification shade from a small trigger area.
  • The app is aimed at people with mobility or dexterity limits, and also users struggling with larger phones that are hard to navigate with one hand.
  • Setup centers on a customizable edge trigger that can be positioned from top to bottom, resized, and tuned separately for portrait or landscape use.
  • The free version covers core use, while a Pro tier adds trigger, tracker and edge actions plus deeper customization for a $5.99 one-time purchase or $1.99 a year.
  • The reviewer said the learning curve lasted about 60 seconds, framing Quick Cursor as a rare accessibility app that delivers practical everyday help.
