ThumbPad

ThumbPad is an innovative app that allows you to control your large screen device fully with one hand, using your thumb only!

- At the store and your hands are full, while needing to check your shopping list app?

Don't worry, you can control your favourite app with your only free hand and still access that far away menu button.

- In bed and browsing your social media channels one last time?

Use ThumbPad to be able to tap anywhere without loosening your grip or having to play acrobat!
