Comments on Activity Launcher for Android

★★★★☆ C.A. Bharat · Aug 18, 2026
Really good and useful. The only thing I can think of can be added is a better search option. Like when we search keywords related options will come. Right now we need to search exact settings. Other than that it's absolutely great!! Well done!👍🏻👏🏻
★★★★★ Black Silvery · Aug 24, 2026
Activity Launcher 2.4.1 — 84% ⚙️ Very useful for Android power users. The new favorites, Quick Settings shortcut, plugin system and improved loading make this version better, especially if you like accessing hidden settings or creating custom shortcuts. Still needs some polish though, especially with broken activities, old shortcut compatibility and the newer ads/Pro setup. 84% fair.
★★★★★ Sameer Raza · Nov 3, 2026
That's good you can use this to see your hidden features of your phone.
★★★★★ Sahib Singh · Sep 6, 2026
I am using an oppo device running ColorOS 16. Unfortunately oppo decided to hide the extra dim option which helps to reduce the brightness to the least which is pretty useful at night when you are in bed. Thanks to the activity launcher I was able to find the hidden features and enable it.
★★☆☆☆ Sanidhya · Sep 26, 2026
Before the update I was able to see notification history properly but after update I'm unable to see, fix this issue asap.

★☆☆☆☆ Oguche Joshua · Nov 6, 2026
The font color and background color are same, so it's hard to view the notification history
