Action Launcher - Launcher, which is trying to be different
Android / / December 19, 2019
If you've tried some of the most popular launcher for Android, you could make sure that all of them, in general, are similar to each other and, in turn, on the stock launcher from Google. And there is some merit in this - to force users to get used to something new is not so simple. It is much easier to take the already tried and familiar model, and improve it by adding several themes and additional features. However, the creators of Action Launcher took a different path, and offer us a truly new way to manage desktops and applications.
Yes, there are desktops, has a catalog of installed programs, widgets, shortcuts and folders. But everything is arranged quite differently. Catalog of installed programs It is to leave the left panel, which, in alphabetical order, list all your applications. This panel appears after swipe from the left edge of the screen. There is a search string, or you can take advantage of rapid transition with the help of an index. Short touch icon will cause it to start, and holding, and dragging can be moved to the label on the desktop.
Desktops can be several, it is governed by the settings. But more interesting is the special additional desktop leaving right after swipe from the right edge of the screen. Here you can store widgets, shortcuts, contacts, which use most. Yes, access to both the left and right panels can be through, no matter in what application you are working (pro-version).
It is very interesting to work with organized labels. As usual, you can organize them in folders by dragging one another. Along with conventional folders can still be called Covers and Shutters. The first is a folder, which is indicated by the icon of one of the applications. In a typical tapas runs the appropriate program, and if swipe the icon opens the folder's contents. Shutters - are special tags that can be used for normal running programs, but if such a label "pet", you will see the corresponding widget of the program.
launcher settings page contains a huge number of options to change virtually every aspect of its appearance and behavior. However, not all of these features are available in the free version. Generally, Action Launcher always spread in the PRO version, and only just recently got free, several trims option.
