Description
Lens Launcher is a unique, efficient way to browse and launch your apps.
Instead of scrolling long lists or swiping through multiple pages, Lens Launcher implements two unique features:
• An Equispaced Grid that displays all of your apps, regardless of screen size or app count.
• A Graphical Fisheye Lens to quickly zoom, pan and launch apps using touch gestures.
The Graphical Fisheye Lens algorithm is derived from methods proposed by Manojit Sarkar and Marc H. Brown. Their original 1993 paper is titled Graphical Fisheye Views.
Lens Launcher is an Android Experiment, written by Nick Rout.
Major contributions have been made by Rish Bhardwaj (@CreaRo).
The source code and graphical fisheye lens academic resources are on Github: https://github.com/ricknout/lens-launcher

Please, I remember using it, and it was good, but now, every customization is on the paid version, like even the smallest settings are pay to get. I don't get it why you even kept this free version?? (and no, pro version is affordable but trust me, you shouldn't take the features you offered for free to be included in the paid version you will make people angry) Edit: Thanks for responding and taking actions!

Very cool, well done on the idea 💡. Awesome launcher, really simple, really quick, really efficient, really very user-friendly.

My experience great so far... I want an option to change icon manually if the one icon is not set to icon pack I use

I would rate this as ZERO out of 10. What made you decide to turn essential features into PRO? Now we have to pay. No, thanks. Don't install this if you don't want to pay.

Cool, but frequency ordering kills it. The ordering of the apps depends on the frequency / usage, which means that the location of an app potentially changes every time u use an app. I wish it was default alphabetical. I think the customization for this is in the paid version, not sure
★☆☆☆☆Simone Preston· Nov 28, 2024
This app appears to have no functionality or customization option and was incredibly useless. The home screen displayed all installed apps as small icons, making it impossible to identify or access specific apps as I couldn't see what anything was. Additionally, there was no option to change the theme or personalize anything. I spent a considerable amount of time attempting to locate the launcher app in order to uninstall it and provide this feedback. Why call yourself a launcher? What a joke!
