Speed up your touchscreen with this easy to use app that doesn’t cost a thing
A lot of the apps that speed up your Android device require root access. If that’s not something you’re comfortable or familiar with, then your options can feel a bit limited. The Super Touch app doesn’t require you to have a rooted device though and it does some pretty impressive things without you needing to have much, or really any, technical know-how. All you will need to get things up and running are your Android device and a Wi-Fi connection. The app isn’t a huge download and it walks you through a lot of what you need to know. Unfortunately, the translation isn’t great, so we’ll guide you through the process. It shouldn’t take you very long to get things sorted and while there are a few fiddly bits that might require a little more attention, with a bit of perseverance you’ll soon be swiping around your Android phone or tablet with the sort of speed and grace you didn’t think was possible.

Steps:-
1. Download The Application
First up you will need to grab the app from the Google Play store. It looks like this and it’s not a particularly large download. It shouldn’t take too long to install on your Android device and when it has done, you’ll open it up to a brief tutorial across a number of different screens.
2. The Easy Tutorial
Swipe through the first screens as though you were flipping through a book – there’s about three of them. Have a read and you’ll come to a screen that explains things in a little more detail. The first time you see this, it will have a button marked Advanced at the bottom.
3. Tap the Advanced button.
Hit the button marked Advanced and you will be taken to another menu. Here you will be able to fi nd out whether your device is powerful enough to run some of the much more interesting features that are available on the app. If it is, you can tap to get them up and running.
4. If you go back
The Advanced Settings link in the drop-down menu will now always tell you that you have enabled those settings, so you can pretty much ignore it for the rest of your time with the app. It does include a help email address if you want to suggest tweaks to the app.
5. Head back to the menu.
When you have set up the Advanced Settings, go back to the main menu. Now tap the button that starts up the smoothing process. You will see a pop-up window that shows you the progress. If your phone is likely to lock in a couple of minutes, then turn off that particular setting.
6. Start it off
Once the progress bar has filled up, you will see another pop-up window. You can scroll down and read about some of the changes you have just made. When you’re done tap Start and Share. You don’t actually have to share anything, but the app does give you the option to.
7. Start the battery save
When you have Smooth Touch up and running, you can engage the battery saving options as well. Rather than giving you a list of options, the app controls everything for you. Tap the button and it will set it up automatically. You can quickly turn them off with another tap.
8. Is it enough?
If you find that the default setting isn’t powerful enough to actually make that much of a difference to your swipes and taps, then you can slide the marker further up the scale on the main page to make the touchscreen more sensitive. This will turn off Super Touch though.
9. Start it again
When you’ve selected the sensitivity you would like, tap the button to start up Super Touch again. Follow the same process as before, preferably avoiding locking your screen and then check to see whether the new sensitivity level suits you. Repeat as many times as you’d like.
⭐key Features / Advantages⭐
- Change sensitivity
In the middle of the screen there’s the slider that lets you adjust the sensitivity of your touchscreen gestures. It’s set to 190 by default, but you can alter this by moving the slider either to the left or right. It goes up to 9,999.
- Stay unlocked
Tapping the Start Smooth Touch button will begin setting up your phone for the new process. It’s best if you don’t lock your screen when this is running, as it can interfere with what the app is trying to achieve.
- Main menu
This is the main menu page of the app. It contains most of the things that you’re going to need to play around with. In the top-right corner, there’s a menu that opens up advanced options and an About+help section too.
- Save battery
The Battery Save option underneath the Start Smooth Touch button lets you quickly set up some power-saving options that tie in with the speed-up touch. They’re not massively detailed, but we will have a look at them in the main body of the tutorial.
