Comments on Apex Launcher for Android

★★★★★ Very nice app for changing your home page look

★★★★★ I have been using this app since its inception. I have tried every other launcher, and they are all trash compared to this.

★★★★★ I have been using Apex since Android 3.0, and it has continued to be one of the best. However, the multi view is NOT working on ANDROID 12.

★★☆☆☆ I purchased Apex Launcher Pro, and to my disappointment, it does not show the notification badges. I tried to cancel and get a refund of the $9.69, but I was unsuccessful. You would be wise to avoid this app, unless you enjoy paying for something that you won't get.

★★☆☆☆ Pls remove some glitches and add new update getting bored used every time this launcher pls add something new

★★☆☆☆ This is the worst launcher I found this application crashes and corrupt the settings and interpret home screen launcher. This application access user data and information. This is application is like a malware... I highly recommend don't install this app launcher never ever install this 🙏

★★☆☆☆ I'm planning to buy this, after testing. I thought it's a bug free app, but it's unusable now after setting App Lock pattern, I can't add widget & it's restarting infinitely & asking for default launcher. Backup & Restore not working.
