About this app

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!

Ratings and reviews

This is one of the longest used apps on my phone! Going strong since 2011 & still 100% relevant to my phone customization to this very day! However, this launcher hasn't been updated since October 12, 2018 (about 6 years ago) It's highly unlikely likely this launcher will be supported moving forward. This saddens me because many apps that have been the center of my smartphone experience are going away with nothing to replace the experience and utility. (Galaxy S24 Ultra doesn't work well with)

Awsome used it since 2013 if not 2012. Couldn't recommend more. It's now 2019 and I still use it for primary access to my apps and contacts, make sure u back up you set up, have to do for each circle, name your save appreciately, you can transfer the saves when you upgrade a new phone so you dont need to set up again. 2020 still using it on Samsung ultra. Get the icon pack. My favorite app off all. 2024 still a must have with icon pack

This has been a 5 star app for years but has declined over time. The 1x1 widget no longer works properly on my S24 Ultra. Configuration menu is incomplete and doesn't allow many of the functions I prefer. 1x2 works but take up extra unnecessary screen real estate. Still love it, just a little disappointed.
