Floating Cursor Makes Giant Android Screens One-Hand Friendly
Android Central reviews Quick Cursor, an app that overlays a floating cursor and a tracker on your display to turn large smartphones into one-hand-friendly devices. You activate it by swiping from the screen’s bottom half; the tracker acts as a mini touchpad for tapping and swiping UI elements in the top half. Setup requires granting accessibility access. The app is freemium—the base features are free, with paid options for advanced gestures and customization. It's presented as a convenient alternative to shrinking your grip on bigger phones.
