There is no hard menu button on Android 6 phone (only back and task list). There is no way to setup the APP.
Thanks

I got HTC m8s with Android 6, and I see the menu as expected. You probably have a phone that lacks backwards compatibility with Android 2.3

I guess @fabys77 has a phone with physical navigation (home, back, recents) buttons, so there's no menu button. You should go to Device Settings and change navigation buttons to on-screen.

Same here for OnePlus 3T which has hardware buttons. And as a user you want to use those because i.e. of the fingerprint sensors and the added screen estate.

If you enable soft buttons an additional ":"-Menu appears besides the regular soft keys which enables access to the otherwise inaccessible menu i.e. for accessing records etc.

Sad to see this software going stale and unusable though there are open pull requests addressing this issue …

Workaround to open the menu that is still working (Android 13):

  • Install ADB on PC
  • Enable Developer Mode
  • Enable USB Debugging
  • Run adb shell input keyevent 82 on PC.

This simulates the menu button press (KEYCODE_MENU), see https://gist.github.com/ctrl-freak/9abb5aea0d89d7bd9df6a3d0ac08b73c
