Wanted to see how everyone in the community felt about the using the android navigation bar buttons vs using gesture control.
I've used the navigation buttons since they released on android and just recently started trying to use the gesture based navigation. It's been a little difficult for me to adapt to it so far, but curious what others experience has been.
Gesture navigation is good enough for me to use, but bad enough to be infuriating.
Its better than the navigation buttons, because non-tactile buttons are bad generally. Gesture navigation lets you navigate basic system interactions without looking at the screen, but its badly implimrnted. A horizontal swipe often accidentally becomes a back.
A physical set of navigation buttons would be best, but gestures is a solid second place, C tier navigation system.
