I try a lot of apps. I'll get really excited about an app I saw on the App Store or heard about from a friend or podcast and try it. And I usually use it for a few days or even a few weeks before I lose interest because it only does a couple useful things or I realize it doesn't really do what I need. But Launcher has been my absolute favorite app from the moment I downloaded it a couple years ago. And it continues to add features that make it so much easier to do the most important things I need to do on my phone. With one swipe, I have everything I need just a click away. I can call my husband, get directions home, text my favorite people, go right to a specific web page, turn on/off my lights, Shazam a song I hear on the radio or in a store, or check Facebook instantaneously. I can set up separate launchers for work vs home. I can even set them up based on time of day so I can quickly do the things I need to do when I wake up, go to bed, and all day in between. There have been a couple times when I had trouble adding a launcher, so I contacted the developer, and he was super responsive in adding access to the app I was looking for, and every time there's an update, I find even cooler ways I can shortcut my workflows. It is so rare to find an app that exceeds my expectations. But Launcher does that every day. And it saves me a TON of time, which is invaluable.

Wow! Is all the comes to mind when tried a few years ago. My iPhone broke without a warranty, And could not replace with new one for a year and a half. Decided to reinstall and try out pro version and my Wows! Are tripled at not how much smoother and quick it is, but am amazed at the large number of new and more efficient things you guys have added; especially for the magic launcher for timer. Now if my watch is dead and want to set a timer, I don’t have to double click the home button, find the app The timer is on, then daouble click to go back to my apple nusuc, Facebook, etc., I can just slide down, then left and shows timer; of which is still counting time and showing it counting inside the widget. Amazing! Thank you for saving me lots of time throughout the day, and keeping my accidents on a bike down dramatically cuz of me trying to check msgs or mess with phone more than I should be when riding on-the-go.

I’ve used this App for several years across multiple iPhones and iPads. As I tried to move widgets across platforms yesterday I was reminded of some shortcomings. I have purchased the app and paid for one upgrade only to be met with a second in app purchase to unlock the functionality I really need. I certainly don’t mind paying for apps (I’ve been doing this since day one of the first iPhone release), but an app like this shouldn’t have a multi tiered purchase in my opinon. This is all the more true as there are now totally free options which provide most of the functionality found here. Also, there are any number of new apps not formally supported by Launcher. This also makes this app less useful to me. If I could, I would give this two and a half stars at this point, but that isn’t an option. It certainly does provide some much needed convenience which Apple could incorporate into a native iOS release but never has bother to do so. Shortcuts isn’t remotely a competitor here. If you decide to buy, be aware of what you do, and don’t get with each tiered purchase. I suspect many will need to plunk down multiple purchases to get the real use out of Launcher.....

I’ve tried other similar launch apps, and usually they’ll only have launchers for some of your apps but not all the ones you want, which kind of defeats the purpose of the launcher. This one is able to launch almost every single app, and if they don’t have the url scheme to launch it directly, they can do it through the Shortcuts app 99% of the time, and it sets the shortcut up for you automatically so you don’t have to know anything about shortcuts. Also, in the rare instance you can’t launch a certain app, you can request it, and their development team is super nice and responds quickly. The buttons are fast and responsive. No bugs. At one point I thought the buttons were slow to respond, but it turned out it was only like that on my old iPhone 6, which was slow on everything, so it wasn’t the app’s fault. On a more updated model of a phone or iPad, it’s super fast.It also can do tons of actions beyond just launching apps. For instance, in another launch app I tried, I had tried to set up a launch button to go to a particular page in Settings (Keyboards), and a message popped up saying Apple didn’t allow that and they could only launch the settings app itself. But Launcher somehow lets you go to whatever page you want in settings, so apparently it is possible for them. Great quality app, and definitely worth the upgrade.
