If you can try a free version of the software before purchasing it, you can test it first to make sure it works properly.

My gestures in the gesture area aren’t working

•Some gestures begin in the gesture area and end in the touchscreen, and vice versa. Crossing the border between the two areas with your finger is crucial to making the gesture successfully. Likewise, the drag gesture for opening a menu begins at the top of the smartphone, above the screen, and crosses down onto the screen.

*Gesture area

•If you cannot make the back gesture, check to see if you have the next/ previous app gestures turned on (see Turn advanced gestures on/off). If so, you need to make a short swipe left for the back gesture, and a full swipe right or left for the next or previous open app.

•Likewise, you can’t use the next/previous app gestures unless you turn them on (see Turn advanced gestures on/off).

•To check if you’re making the gesture correctly, see Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick, pinch.

There are small icons in the lower-right corner of the screen

Those icons represent notifications that you have not opened or dismissed. For most types of notifications, if you do not tap a notification after a few seconds, it becomes an icon in the lower-right portion of the screen. If you see one or more icons, tap anywhere on the bottom of the screen to display your notifications.
