Just curious how many people use Assistive touch to minimize use of the home button? And do you really find it helpful?

I use it religiously on my iPhone and iPad ever since I discovered it some time ago.
Many fine it annoying and gets in the way. I don't
Give it a go. You can always disable it.
Good Luck

I also use it 100% of the time, comes natural once you get use to it.

I've been trying it out and do like it, I just wish that you could put it in a permanent spot, like an app icon. Because I'd rather set it in the dock rather than it float around. But that would take away from using it within apps.

I use it often especially when I'm in the car and using my dash mount because it doesn't jar my unit it's just a simple screen tap

I've used it before but I found it to be in the way more than it was helpful

I've told my wife, sons & daughter-in-laws.
No one likes it.
I stand alone.
Good Luck

I just jailbroke my 5S and installed Activator. I think the part I don't like is that it's constantly on the screen, if Assistive Touch was more gesture-based I think I would like it.

I've used it after since dropping my phone on the corner by the sleep/wake button. It isn't logical, but I'm a bit afraid ill run down the button and maybe break it if I use it too much.
