About CircleLauncher

This widget will help you to start your prefered apps or call your best friends - but with style!

!NEW! moved swipe functions to new free app 'CircleLauncher Swipe'

You can add some frequently used apps, contacts or bookmarks to this launcher and start those apps or contacts with one click from a circle, a horizontal or a vertical line. Use the included launcher icons, load your own image or use a icon from any icon pack (CircleLauncher icon packs, ADW and Go Launcher icon packs supported). If you slide over the icons, they are animated a little bit mac-like ... just try it!

Parallax FX [beta]: look behind the widget like on iOS7! This effect can be enabled in the settings: 'More Settings' > 'More ...' > 'Parallax FX' - the result is highly dependent on the sensor in your phone ... some are perfect, other will not work very well. Looks best with '3D Image Live Wallpaper' :-)

Additional features in the full version:
- custom icons for the icon on the homescreen
- support for ADW icon packs for the icon on the homescreen
- vertical and horizontal launcher versions

Some icons in the screenshots are from 'CircleLauncher IconPack One', 'Minimal UI', 'Glasklart Go Nova Apex Theme', 'Circles Theme', 'Motif' and 'Rain' - the clock is 'lockscreen watch'.

Please don't move the app to the sd card - it won't work!

If you noticed a bug or have any questions, please send me an eMail.

Noticed this was free and decided to have a look. So glad I did. I have a lot of apps and this let's me manage and access them so much more easily. This is fantastic. I notice many negative reviews say they can't find the app after download, you need to add it as a widget to your home screen or home screens. Additionally to save settings you need to configure backup and save in the app settings, once that is done you are sorted. If you have lots of apps, this is what you need. I love this app. A++++

Simple, just the way I like it. Only problem I'm having is that I can't open the settings panel anymore with a horizontal line launching style, because the app icons launch in front of the icon and I can't long press the icon anymore. Please let me know if there's another way.

Had it for about 7 years and still use it on every device I own. It's never locked up, froze or crashed my device. it's always done exactly what it was supposed to do. hands down the most reliable purchase I've ever made on Google Play.

The first circle launcher I added (using Pixel 2 XL) appeared just fine, but subsequent ones never appear, even after deleting the first one added, or reinstalling multiple times.

Been using this for years. By far my favorite widget. I keep a clean and empty single home page, with a transparent circle launcher running. Turned a few friends onto it and they love it!

Q70%

Excellent app. Makes access to what I want to use extremely easy. No annoying, intrusive, alerts. Simple and effective!

Disappeared when I was done editing the widget. No save or apply button. Oh well..

I use it in conjunction with Nova Launcher every day for years now. Absolutely love it.

Been using it for years and it's the best thing ever, especially considering the flexibility to create that aesthetic you want.

Nice app. Keep up the good work. People need to be patient while customization and dev please do something to export the backup in cloud.

I will change this review to 5 stars once they fix this recent issue: for the past few weeks, when I start clicking the widget, it won't respond... It's only after a few seconds (up to 5 or so sometimes) until it starts to register my clicks. The app was perfect until then. I'm guessing... Since it's been so long since it was updated, that they're not keeping up with the new Android versions

I've used this app for years and love it! I have 5 different launchers on my phone (used on Samsung S3, Sony Z2 and Samsung Edge 7). It's extremely customusable! The only problem I've noticed is on the square setting I can't get back into the settings (which I just tried to see how it looked and I don't use this anyway) .

5 years is how long I've had this launcher. This is my 4th phone,same launcher. I'm lazy,so once it's set up,I enjoy the one touch service. Update: People, once u set up ur various types of launchers,before u update, go into each launcher, save each one,update ur app,then go back to homescreen(if they've disappeared)long press, drag circle launcher to homescreen, open,then scroll down and restore configuration, launcher restored. Mainly on samsung devices. Is this square launcher, no, it's circle launcher. So I use the circle and have no problems. People quit crying.

Help it keeps saying icon won't load when I try to change the launcher icon? I loved this on my phone so decided to buy the full version. Different layouts are cool but quite useless if it doesn't blend in with my theme. Have tried installing light version too and restarting tablet. Help! Have a Samsung galaxy tab A 6 if everything works as it should would be a 5 star. Plus help so can change rating, don't wanna regret buying this :(

Really awesome app! There are only 2 reasons I couldn't give 5 stars: - The spread of apps on the double circle is not ideal, especially when launch from a corner. Atleast 1 of the app icons couls move from the out circle to inner and offer a more evenly spaced look. - When trying to use a horizontal or vertical line, I cannot get back into the app settings. The normal method of holding the center of the circle does not seem work, no matter where I click and hold. Both these issues could just be me not reading the settings, but I really did try everything I could see was available

App hasn't been updated since mid-2015. Have used the app for years on multiple phones and love it, but it's really time for an update. There are display issues on the S8+.

Have paid for this app and think it is a great app launcher. It's unique, I haven't noticed any slow down since install and it has a lot of tweaks you can make. I didn't give it 5* because it does need some attention. For those of you who are having problems opening up the Configuration menu when it is not a circle I have found a workaround. Set a long press to hide/unhide menu. Then press the widget and then press your long press button.

Love this app and it's Features, only bad thing is there is no way to move/backup a configuration from one phone to another. So each time I upgrade or buy a new device, I have to configure it from the beginning. Otherwise five stars

For some reason it says "unable to load image" on every custom image type I try to make my icon. I had the same image on my galaxy 6 but it won't work on Note 7! Help please!!

Unable to add icons from Click/Minimal/Switch UI due to error that's states icon could not loaded. Can you clarify if the app supports these icon packs? Also all my icons are themed but the circle launcher shows the default icons, is there a way to change them lime your screenshots without root? Thanks

by D####:

Best mini launcher of all, but a lot of customization seems to have no useful purpose. I use 2-letter category designators rather than icons, keeping my desktop uncluttered. When VERTICAL was selected, I found no way to get back.

Y70%
by Y####:

Great app, however when circle launcher is open it does not show the notifications next to I.e messages. Missed a lot of messages because of this. If this is fixed, or if there's a way to configure this it would be 5* from me

Used to enjoy this, but it causes lots of my other apps to crash unexpected, especially streaming services. Podcast Addict, Reddit Is Fun, WWOZ, Pandora, and more unexpectedly stop working now that I use this, whereas the didn't before. Otherwise, it's a nifty idea. -Note3

Could be what I've been looking for for ages but can only set 1 widget then my launcher crashes. I'm on KK Launcher 5.0. What's the best launcher for these apps (but not stock touch wiz lol)

Down to 1 star for utter lack of support. Bookmarks freeze phone too. I think I've waste my money

Was getting tired of the ugly folder appearances. This works great. If only i could pin it to the bottom row it would be perfect but that might be an android issue.

D70%
by D####:

With the recent android version it has become very difficult to edit after it is set. Is there a work around?

D70%
by D####:

Takes a bit of tinkering to get the results you want, but very flexible and handy. Minus one star because there seems to be no way to edit horizontal or vertical launchers.

Thought I wouldn't use it, but it's great for lumping all of my messaging stuff together! I love that I can add my own pictures to the circle, too!
