Hate the button on the left side. Usage on a 4,7" phone is not possible with one hand.

  this is actually a great point. Presumably, the top left corner was used because that is the placement for the "back" or "previous" button. Unfortunately, the back button was placed there because it is just out of reach for most users to prevent accidental taps. Now that you bring it up, since some of these sliders are actually used quite often it doesn't quite make sense to have these menus exclusively triggered by a button in the top left. I guess it could have also been due to the resemblance to a menu and most "file" commands were traditionally in the top left.

  Android's tab UI (in the ActionBar) already has this problem. And iOS has always used the upper-left for the navigation bar's "back" button anyway. The menu button is just a different sort of back button when you're at the top of a particular hierarchy. So, yes, we're asking the user to move a bit more, but I wouldn't call it impossible. Making a completely one-handed UI would mean breaking a lot of conventions.

  These look like mostly iOS apps, targeted to a smaller screen. So it's not quite such a struggle for iPhone users. Your comment does reflect the design struggles of Android, with it's varying screen sizes. What is a one-handed reach for most people on one phone may not be a one-handed reach for most people on another phone.
