About this app

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.

What Happened?! After the update, I had to restart my phone, now I can't install the widget.. It doesn't work. Been using this app through many phones, HTC, Sony and now Samsung. And it works perfectly. Can squeeze like 10 apps in each button, so it is like a Swiss army knife.

I've used this app for 10 years or more and love it! It's the best app for organizing apps. However, after the update this weekend I've lost a lot of features I had with it. The widgets are just one size, I'm not able to customize it as much as I used to can you please bring back to some of those features? And a little warning on the update would have been nice instead of waking up to my phone being completely blank and I'm on my screens and having to reset up the Circle Launcher for everything.
