Action Launcher allows you to import from your existing layout from other launchers such as Apex, Nova, Google Now Launcher, HTC Sense, Samsung/Galaxy One UI/TouchWiz and the stock Android launcher, so you'll instantly feel right at home.

Action Launcher may request access to the Accessibility Service API for specific gesture functionality such as turning off the screen or opening the notification panel. Enabling access is optional, disabled by default, can be revoked at any time, and neither collects nor shares any data.

Ratings and reviews

From 5 stars to 3.5 - I loved this launcher years ago. I got the premium version and love my setup with covers and folders. At some point though my backed up settings got messed up and many things would change to "name_not_found" and I couldn't find a way to fix it other than starting from scratch. Now for the past year my home screen freezes and I have to fight to get to "restart app" and then the issue is resolved... but I'm ready to switch. Happens 1 to 10 times a day.

My favorite launcher for a long time now, but all of a sudden widgets no longer work and the home screen is often buggy. The widgets I previously had are gone and as soon as I drag a new one to the home screen, it disappears. Folders, whether they have a cover or not, stop working at least once a day and the app has to be force stopped and reopened to work again.

This app used to be quite good, with an active developer. But since the new Android update, 90% of the time, the launcher crashes the second it opens, and OneUI tells me to uninstall it because it keeps crashing. If it doesn't crash, it seems to now have a problem with the new gesture controls of Android, and there's a lot of padding at the bottom, also most widgets just do not work at all. They cannot be placed, and if they can, they don't show anything. Shame. This used to be a great launcher.

What's new
