WHAT'S IN SMART LAUNCHER:

• Automatic app sorting

Apps are automatically sorted into categories, you won't have to waste time organizing your icons anymore! The advantages of automatic app sorting have been recognized also by Apple which introduced it in their App Library in iOS 14.

• Ambient theme
Smart Launcher automatically changes the theme colors to match your wallpaper.

• Designed to be used with one hand
We moved the items you need to interact the most, in the bottom part of the screen where they are easier to reach.

• Responsive build-in widgets
Smart Launcher includes a full set of responsive widgets.

• Customization
Smart Launcher is completely customizable. You can now modify every single color of the theme unlocking infinite possibilities of color combination. Change fonts on the home screen choosing among thousands of fonts from Google Fonts.

• Smart search
The Smart Launcher search bar allows to quickly find contacts and apps or to perform actions like searching on the web, adding a contact, or performing a calculation.

• Adaptive icons
The icon format introduced with Android 8.0 Oreo is fully supported and available for any Android device! Adaptive icons mean not only customizable shapes but also beautiful and bigger icons!

• Gestures and hotkeys
Both gestures and hotkeys are supported and configurable. You can turn off the screen with a double-tap or show the notification panel with a swipe.

• On-screen notifications
Smart Launcher will now show you which apps have active notifications without requiring you to download an external plugin. This makes the feature more stable and reliable.

• Ultra immersive mode
You can now hide the navigation bar in the launcher to maximize the screen space.

• Protect your apps
You can hide the apps you want and if you want to keep them secret, you can protect them with a PIN.

• Wallpaper selection
Smart Launcher includes a very efficient wallpaper picker that allows you to choose between many sources of pictures. You can also backup your wallpaper before trying a new one!

Great app which sadly lacks many major features which unfortunately make it unusable for me. Here are some of those: 1) some system gestures get broken 2) some system animations are removed and are replaced by much worse ones 3) app icons are looking disgusting with every preset (just leave them on default!!) 4) folders look even worse 5) no option to enlarge folders 6) it is difficult to add apps to home screen... And many more. I love the quick search though. I wish that was a standalone app.

Really nice launcher. Here is what's missing * It would be awesome if it had a reduced motion switch (or just use the phone's animation scale variable) to gain time. * Sometimes when you close the launcher's settings menu, it will ask you to choose a launcher to open even though SL6 is already set as default. * Closing apps isn't possible fast enough.

Why new update does not work? I get an error message that "this alpha version is outdated, please update it"! But there is no possibly to update and it's impossible to run the launcher. I am on my phone' system launcher. But I would like to go back to smart launcher. I would be grateful if you kindly fix the issue as soon as possible. PS. I give 3 stars till I get back smart launcher on my phone. 01/02/2022. Thank you very much for fixing the issue.

Edit (22-02-11) Following the big issue, the Smart Launcher team rapidly issued a quickfix and I could use the launcher again. I was worried of losing my widgets since I was in the middle of adding a bunch and placing them in a specific way when the problem occurred. The team is great, I am very glad to have purchased this launcher. Thank you ! (22-01-30) The app is not working anymore, I cannot access my home page nor my list of apps... If I hit my "home" button, I am redirected to the app store page and it tells me I need to update but there are no update available! I would like for the categories not to be displayed in this new grey bar, how can I make it look like how it was before ? I cannot find the option.

What a disappointing product. Full version is not worth the money. Id get a refund if I could. I wanted to find a better app drawer and I did, this one's amazing, but unfortunately it's buried in an unintuitive mess of a UI that's frustrating, and boring with limited customization and misleading "premium features". $21?? To blur a screenshot and call it an effect? Really?? It's honestly a shame cause I'd pay the premium price for just the app drawer so I can use it with a better UI like Nova.

As an avid Android user, I've experimented with various launchers, including Microsoft Launcher and Nova Launcher. While both are excellent options, I've found Smart Launcher 6 to be exceptionally fast, customizable, and visually appealing.One of the standout features is its ability to seamlessly transform all icons, including third-party apps, into a cohesive Material Theme design. This level of customization, speed and efficiency, has significantly has enhanced my experience. Thanks a Lot.

As a long time Nova user, the release of Android 15 and the near-loss of Nova support by Branch sent me looking elsewhere. There are several features from Nova that I still miss very much, such as assigning a default app to open on a single click of a folder while swiping on the folder would open it, but overall Smart Launcher is a decent replacement. It is exceedingly smooth. It has a simple but powerful user interface. The security features are excellent.

The cleanest looking launcher by far. Used ratio earlier and I can say that this is far superior to it. The price also seems extremely cheap, most likely a regional thing but it kept me from pirating it. Kudos to you for going for the regional pricing. It's extremely clean looking with insane customization (that fine positioning is one of if not the best feature there can be on a launcher app), great widgets and many options.
