Description

Tired of sidebars? - Customize your device with a Wheel!
Wheel Launcher is an edge screen, a slide out panel that is floating on top of everything on your device and provides a quick access to your favorite apps, shortcuts, contacts, tools and quick settings - just pull the icon on the vertical edge of your screen.
Unlike other sidebars Wheel Launcher is designed to operate with a single hand, it is highly customizable with support for icon packs and themes. Wheel Launcher does not interfere with your main launcher. Wheel Launcher allows you to add any shortcuts provided by your apps, like direct dial, any of your contacts or settings shortcuts, like battery, sound, WiFi and so on. Wheel Launcher is the most comprehensive sidebar on Google Play! Auto hide in landscape mode option when watching movies or playing games.

Comments on Wheel Launcher - sidebar for Android

★★★★★ One of the better ones if not the BEST. My small advise, before ComplaiNed that this App lacks any features pls carefully go through it 1st...because this has almost ALL the commonly requested features. I personally like it so much, its just that a bit TOO Mainstreams to my liking. But will stick with it for Now. Thank You DEV!!!. U certainly know what you are doing. Its just that phones nowadays aggressively terminating background Apps makes the experiences a bit off...

★★★★★ Pretty cool little side launcher. Able to add any apps or shortcuts you'd want, and able to customize to match any background or theme.

★★★★★ Hey, "credit due", when my tablet froze up and the touch screen was nonresponsive, your wheel launcher popped out when I tossed the tablet on a chair. Now, getting everything to work was "f"ing complicated, but it was all possible because your wheel launcher gave me access and opened programs. I'm leaving this review on that tablet, now. So thank you.

★★★★★ Love the app! Nice graphics, smooth animation, and easy to use. You can buy the full version, and also download and use the Lite version at the same time for Double the interface! Only issue I have so far is that both the "triggers" keep auto re-positioning to the top corners of the screen, even though I keep positioning them on the lower sides corners. Workaround is to position the trigger(s) where you want in the apps Settings, then turn off the "Movable" function. Great app regardless!

★★☆☆☆ Great app but it affects my keyboard when I have it to draw over other apps. Unfortunately, had to uninstall.

★★☆☆☆ Good but its slide sometimes vanishes without reason

★★☆☆☆ Get out of 2008. It's 2020. Nobody uses skeomorphism anymore.

★★☆☆☆ Looks very nice but for some reason it doesn't load the apps when I select them, instead it just hides the wheel. I have 7 apps currently in it

★★☆☆☆ I like this app, but the consistent display over app notification is annoying me. I'm uninstalling if I can get rid of it.
