GameBox Launcher Beta for Android
The interface is great and give quick access to my favourite games, but it needs an update that improve security. I have set a fingerprint password but just by pressing the home button it can bypass that security and go straight to homescreen which is not good. Hope to get an update on this soon.
Liking it so far coz its nothing like those generic launcher that makes me wonder what so different about them. Suggestion : ability to hide status bar. Any notification deleted from notif tile also removed from status bar. Do something with ^ button in middle bottom, it nearly serves no purpose. Exp: clean memory, customizeable widget as well, maybe put notifitacion here, and also feed, I love feeds. Make the tiles lockable, so no accidental drag could happen that would mess the tiles.
Cool app, but I wish things were more... Responsive. Like the small phone vibrations as I type this message. If you could do that with the buttons in this app, that would make things feel better and not so "flat". Also, it seems to randomly stop accepting input if I try to press a button sometimes. I do really like it though. Gotta love the customization. Edit: something else as well, it would be nice to have the use of folders for the second app screen. Also, a "confirm remove" message should not be necessary when removing an app. Something else that bugs me: whenever I use the "tabs" button on my device, it will temporarily switch back to my old background until I go back. If this could get fixed, that would be great, because the animation isn't that great.
Great for gamers in general. Love the format and customization, as well as the performance settings being accessible on the fly. Only complaints are that it crashes when I open menus too quickly and doesn't go past 10 pages ( I dunno if that's intentional). Other than that its awesome, especially on the powerful s8.
Please fix this data error... When im open the app im see the data error and when im click on (try again) im see the error again... My device is samsung galaxy j5 2016.... please fix this problem... I love to use this app... Please tell me what should i do... Thank u samsung❤❤❤
Looked at Hunter's review and tried one thing. I have MotoG4+ with stock ROM. I use Nova launcher. I installed GameBox launcher and set nova as default launcher. Then I placed an icon of GameBox on home screen and now I can launch it as an app. No hassle. Perfect setup. ????
Could be really good. First thing you gotta fix is the Wi-Fi only. I don't understand why I can't run it with my mobile data. And second, you DEFINITELY allow for more home screen pages.
Launchers pretty good however when I try to open up the Google folder the app crashes. Also I think there should be a landscape mode considering the launcher is for games. More on the explaining part: the phone I was using was the Nexus 5x on Android 8.0 Oreo , when I press on the Google folder in the app part the launcher stops.
Just says Data Error, unable to load game data. Seriously? And Settings just directs me to my device’s Wi-Fi settings? Why? I have unlimited data but no access to crappy, lose all your security Wi-Fi and I wouldn't want it anyhow! A complete and total #EpicFail Samsung! I hope whoever made this is kept far from the smart TV and smartphone design, wow!
I liked it. It's pretty awesome but there is only one problem. I think i should be able to select what is a game and what is not... because most of my games the app doesnt know its a game and i have an app that the app thinks its a game
GREAT app. just one little problem. the game tuning doesnt work for me. im not sure why, but can you patch it or something? please?
Good launcher. Almost what I was looking for. But it's portrait mode only so not good for using as a pseudo handheld console interface using a phone with a controller.
It works and it helps. Only thing is with the notifications, they repeat till the point where one message will turn into 99 notifications. Good launcher though.
I really do actually love this app. I can see how long myself and others have played, gives you complete control over all of your game's settings, and find information easily. A big problem I have with it, as opposed to the normal Game Launcher available for the majority of Samsung phones, this one doesn't have the ability to hide all of your games in the regular applications menu. For some who enjoy that feature, like me, AND this app, that means I have to have two apps in order to support everything I want. That, combined with the fact that there hasn't been a (big) update for this in nearly a year (YT comparability guys? C'mon.), the lack of security for something trying to pass as a GUI, means I can't give it a good score here. But once it gets out of beta (IF it gets out of beta) and adopts what I've talked about here, then this will be worth each five star it is given.
It's great and all but it's resolution and Fx quality it is lacking, not only that but you havent updated in a long time. I had such high hopes for this launcher.
I wanted to try this app because I saw the use of it in some Galaxy S7 reviews, but when I start the app on my Galaxy J7, the app says "failed to load your game info"
As of now I'll rate it 4/5 ???? but I like it This is my recommendations It must have a lock feature to secure user customization The tile should be resize to 1x1 The user added games should be disappear on the apps drawer and the removed games should be back to the launcher And the user can hide some apps (non game) not only game I can't rearrange apps inside the folder (more than 9 apps) example the last item (in 10th) you want to move it in the first, I can't move it there (sorry if I can't explain clearly) But then this app is *awesome*. And I would recommend this to my friends ????????
So far a great app for people like me that have a lot of games.Just one problem ive noticed that when i deleted a game,it was still there,i tried removing it but it keeps saying that i dont have the and the picture won't go away. Please help and great work guys.
The launcher has lots of issues. Sometimes, it makes random new pages whenever I try to add items on the home screen, and I cant seem to remove or move them. The youtube subscription search only searches channels from A-D even though Im subscribed to more. The settings option is also bugged, whenever I try to change the theme or wallpaper it needs to be tapped more than once. Anyways, hope you fix these issues but its a great launcher overall, thanks!
Should I download game tuner from Samsung as well? Or does this app have all of the features that game tuner app has? In other words do they work better together or is it unnecessary for both.
I really like it, I can definitely tell it's in a beta stage because of the weird bugs that pop up, opening folders causes the launcher to crash, and sometimes when I'm moving apps on the home screen, the app will move back or make double of its self Also a suggestion on the home screen you should make it when you swipe up it shows all apps
So far i love the design. 1 question tho, where do i fibd the customization configuration thingy? That game tuning? I cant seem to find it anywhere. Got the answer, this phone doesnt support it. But my s6 work well with it. Ha
I like this a lot,but i am waiting for the full version instead of this betta version.bcoz i m unable to use some feautures on this version like app customization,size making etc..,
After updated this app, I cant find Game Tuning! My device is Samsung J7 2016, and it has been updated to the latest OS with android 6.1, and still I cant find Game Tuning option!? Please fix this because all my game is run with low resolution graphic! and I hate it, please bring back The Game tuning option...!
good launcher but the transition between pages is a little laggy transform the gamelab button into call icon and the center button when it open there will the game lab integrate a game accelerator the ability to change icon pack
Good apps that makes me feel comfortable to use it as a gamer. But some reason the widget always reset once I lock my screen and then unlock it. That's all for now xD
This is the best launcher by far. And if you are a gamer, like me, you should love this launcher! It is easy to use, you can sort apps how you like, and games are the 1st thing that you see when you open your phone. And it's free!!! ????????????
It is not good for samsung j7 prime… except volume feature there is no other shown in this app
Hi this app makes my screen cool and im requesting some ideas to make this app more cool. Maybe you should put a trailer video not only the cover of the said game. Thank You
I don't have Samsung Phone use HTC U11 and love my Gear3 Frontier :) Why Gamebox don't show how many minutes I have played games? This is a bug or just for Samsung phones? And I will close App drawer only use Gamebox please add this features soon ????
Need fixes as after some time the icons are becoming smaller and not restored to original font
Wow impreasive keep up the good work fellas having such a nice day with this launcher add a sidebar chat feeds on launcher it works perfectly when playing a clash of clans
Has potential. Would be nice if you could change icons, hide status bar, make games play full screen like game launcher does so I could disable that app and not have 2 things doing almost the same thing.
It is not having game tuning and customization option , but you declared that option in the image
Some games are missing at the home screen when restarted my phone and it's missing at the Apps menu too
التطبيق لا يعمل بشكل جيد على هاتفي galaxy j7 (700h) عندما اريد ان اغير اعدادت اللعبة يتوقف عن العمل ويعد البرنامج كما كان عليه من قبل ارجو الحل
I just really wish I could figure out how I can use my own widgets, like my Spotify and acorns widgets etc, if there's a way please help.
Amazing launcher, but the tools button in the bottom doesn't appear for me like the pictures shown, plz fix it and give me your contact email to show you more of the problem.
Like the app, but disappointed that i cant add standard widgets.

The launcher's design is quite eye catching and the features and customization with it are something unique to this launcher that let's it stand out over others, however I do believe that having Dr Cho's game lab as a separate application is a better alternative. For Galaxy S8 devices, the navigation bar seems very uncomfortable when set to always show, appearing in white and for some reason, also, I can't seem to find the game tuning options although they did appear once.
