Description

CircleLauncher is back!

After the long time without updates, the widgets may no longer work correctly - I apologize for this.

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 or contacts 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.

Comments on CircleLauncher for Android

★★★★★ Troy K · Aug 26, 2022

Used it for years. Makes my phone experience far less clunky (is that a word¿). There may be other similar apps, but Circle launcher is always one of the first apps I install on a new phone. I usually just make the icon transparent and just use an area on my desktop for opening, which also grants a better view of whatever wallpaper I'm using. It's just great. Thank you developers.

★★★★★ Royal Finesse · Jul 22, 2020

Great app, I've been using it on and off for years. It still functions as promised which leads me to this 5-star review. I currently have the LG v60 dual screen, and use the stock home screen, so it works well for me.

★★☆☆☆ Max G. Mahaffee, Esq. · Apr 5, 2023

Small but quick in function. UPDATE in 2023: Now using on my latest phone, the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Problems with icons too small & cannot adjust to normal size! NOT being updated on a PAID app.

★☆☆☆☆ Fabulous False Bay · Jun 17, 2021

I've used Circle Launcher for years. Loved it, great app. But it seems this app has been abandoned. Last updated in 2018 and sadly no longer compatible with newer Android versions.
