Imagine always having your favorite and recent apps just a tap away, whether you’re kicking back with a tablet, working off your phone, or running Android apps on BlueStacks. Taskbar takes multitasking on Android to a whole new level, making it way easier to jump between tasks or launch anything you need without digging around.
