Android: Swipe up from the bottom of your handset’s screen, and Google Now springs into action.

Swipeup Utility lets you use the same gesture to start a different app, if you prefer.

Either way, though, that swipe gesture is pretty handy.

To change the gesture, download a copy of Swipeup Utility from the Google Play store.

Install and launch the app, and then open up the tweaks.

Select an app or action from the list and enjoy easy access from this point forward.
