Easy Scroll

Are you having difficulties doing the repeating swipe gestures necessary for browsing through menus or web pages, and for reading e-books or documents? Then let Easy Scroll help you! Easy Scroll introduces continuous scrolling in any app - easily controllable via a floating widget on your screen. This means: no more repeated swiping - just do a short swipe on the floating widget once, and the content of your screen will scroll continuously in the desired direction. Tap the widget again to end scrolling...

Easy Scroll lets you select the speed of scrolling. It also offers the option of scrolling at a slow speed by doing a slow swipe on the widget, and scrolling fast by doing a regular swipe. What's more, Easy Scroll offers horizontal scrolling, as well as Page scroll: scrolling a selectable portion of the screen at one tap on the widget (both Pro version).

PLEASE NOTE: The scrolling speeds Easy Scroll offers are designed for browsing through menus, and for swift scrolling on after you are done reading a page of text.

This app uses Accessibility services.

Easy Scroll performs scrolling by doing an automated swipe gesture on behalf of the user. To do so, Easy Scroll uses the "Perform gestures" feature of Android's Accessibility services. (NOTE: The smoothness of scrolling depends on how much resources in general Android allocates for performing such automated gestures.)


SETUP: Upon first start of the app, tap "Enable Easy Scroll", and follow the instructions to enable the accessibility service. Next, tap "Enable floating widget". Follow the instructions to grant Easy Scroll the necessary permission.

USAGE: To re-position the floating widget, do a long press on it, and move it to the desired position while keeping the finger down. To hide the widget, swipe it towards the nearest (left or right) side of the screen. It will be moved to the left or right margin. (You may have to swipe slowly if the widget is close to the margin.) To bring it back, swipe inwards on it from the margin.

To start scrolling down, do a swipe down gesture on the widget. To stop scrolling, tap on it. To start scrolling up, do a swipe up gesture on the widget. You can select the speed of scrolling in "Normal scrolling speed". In order to activate two-speed scrolling control, choose a value in "Slow scrolling speed". Now, when you do a "slow swipe" (i.e. a swipe motion lasting more than 1/2 second) on the widget, scrolling will be performed at this speed. (We recommend selecting a higher value for the normal speed for two-speed scrolling.)

Pro version:
- Page scroll: First, select a value in "Page scroll". Now, when you do a tap on the upper or lower part of the widget, there will be a fast scroll of the selected length in that direction.
- Horizontal scrolling: To initiate horizontal scrolling, do a swipe on the widget away from the margin. Now, a normal up/down swipe on the widget will trigger a left/right page scroll.
