Incredibly Powerful but Getting Worse This app gets the job done and does an amazing job of customizing my phone. I absolutely love it. My one feature request would be to add the Lollipop overscroll effect for the home screen. App has barely been updated in the past year. No Marshmallow update or bug fixes (folders appear completely blank on Power Saving mode).

Best launcher Tried a few others including next and go. They have nothing on this. The user has full control over the custom settings. Awesome settings, cool effects, and doesn't lag the system like the others do. One complaint: sometimes, when I open an icon folder, all the icons will be missing so I close it and reopen and they return. Might want to check into that. ( full version user here ) DEFINITELY worth buying. So I did... 😀

Good but with bugs I've been using this app for a few months now. I really like it but there are issues with the notification settings. It works ok for a day or so but then I no longer see the no. of missed calls or unread messages/emails. I have to restart the phone to make it work again. And this feature is the only reason why I installed the Pro version. I like this launcher very much but hope they fix this bug.

Lost gesture functionality in GS6. These phones are big. One of the best features apex has had was the swipe down feature, which I could assign to bringing down the notification shade. Worked wonderfully on my older One M7, but the shade just will not come down on the Galaxy S6. This is a pretty big deal for me. I need to be able to use my phone one-handed, without having to shimmy and shuffle my hand up the phone while holding onto it. This is a big step in the wrong direction.

I am digging APEX (on Galaxy S4) After years of ADW Ex, I just recently decided to change to a modern launcher that stays updated and has many cool options! Two of my favs are the ability to import from other launchers and the endles amount of themes. Two things that are missing in my opinion; 1. The ability to lock apps with a pin code (to keep pics, videos, and other sensitve files safe), 2. More app drawer options, like Verticle 4D. But this is the one! 5 stars if I ever see "pin #" implemented!

Its almost the same as KK Launcher, 99% similarities, except Apex Launcher does not have "turn off screen" option on the "home button".. i wish you can consider to include, as its very useful.. overall, its a very good and productive launcher alternative.. I think the developer has abandoned this apps since no visible update have been done to date..

A launcher with all the goodness Apex launcher(as well as the pro version) has become my favorite go to launcher. I tried action 3 launcher and was thoroughly disappointed. It crashed on me several times. I went right back to Apex. Apex offers deeper customization and a more refined look and feel that I haven't seen in other launchers. Thanks to the Devs who created this no-nonsense launcher.
A great and SMOOTH launcher. Replaced my Launcher 8 when Launcher 8 began crashing when my phone updated to Lollipop. No regrets! ONE REQUEST, though, that I hope the developer will consider adding as a feature: VERTICAL home screen scrolling (similar to what Launcher 8 and Lucid launcher do). Otherwise, FIVE stars.
Met, then exceeded expectations. I have used stock Android launchers on various phones as well as Google Now and a couple of others from the Play Store. They all have their strengths. They all lured me away from iOS. I enjoyed all of them on some level. Apex Launcher Pro runs quickly and smoothly. It is full featured and flexible. It lets you be a power user, or a casual user - or somewhere in between. It's easy and useful. The BEST fit I've ever had.
Love it! Don't ever change the status bar shadow, it's perfect! I switched from Nova Pro to Apex Pro simply because the shadow isn't dark enough on Nova. Apex well worth the money. I did drop a star because the keep in memory option puts a banner notification. Understandable, but my phone is rooted and the app should the advantage of that.
Great I love this launcher, it's one of a kind and customisable to however you want it (within reason). However I have come across a problem in the App drawer since the last update where the pages of my apps seems to stack and the names of the apps aren't readable as there's two layers of text.
Constantly crashed my phone New phone, installed Apex which was great and had good features. Spent some time customising my home screen. Then my phone started rebooting constantly every 15-30 mins. Factory reset and started again with same result.i was about to return phone but did one last factory reset and this time didn't install Apex, no issue, phone didn't reboot once. After 7 stable days I thought I'd give Apex another go, 30 mins later phone was rebooting again. Uninstall and phone back stable. I had purchased pro version too.
No quick settings/notifications Gestures don't support dropping down neither Notifications nor Quick Settings for Galaxy S6. It's surely TW specific limitation but it'd be nice if Apex could work around it. The best launcher otherwise.
I really like this launcher, but... Great launcher with tons of customization, but I think it's not all that compatible with Android 6 (marshmallow). Main issue I am having is that Google's Voice Search app won't work with Apex. Gives error "can't open microphone". Only happens when using Apex and not with Google Now Launcher.
Best launcher for power users Serves all my configuration needs and partners well with APW widgets on 8 screens. 1 issue with large screen 1080x1920 and 401 ppi the screens config window is scaled incorrectly and only the centre screen tile can be seen. Needs fixing?
What happened I paid for this app and used to love it. The last few updates however have made it very unstable. It crashes and freezes constantly my phone runs hot and will lose battery percentage While it's charging. Removing apex launcher has rectified this issue. Returning to go launcher until these problems are resolved.
Best thing about an Android phone I have been using apex pro for quite a few years now and simply love it. It is intuitive, easy to set up and even easier to use. There are so many different functionalities and tweaks that you can do to customize it to your interest that there is no reason not to use it. I often hear of people complaining about Touchwiz for HTC's UI, etc but with this launcher used as your launcher, there's no reason to complain about any of those. This is a nice quick and easy replacement for all of those.
Recommend Lancher This is a very good Lancher! Hands down it beats touch wiz for my note 4. It covered all aspects for modifications and the way things transitioned. My only complaint is that they do not have a full calander widget. This is essential when you are constantly in need of a calander and are inputting tasks. I have emailed the programmers twice asking for some insight in the matter, but it seems like they have horrible costumer service. If you were able to respond to my emails I would give you a 5 star.
Small bug Let me start with, this is the best launcher I have used. It's worked great on multiple phones of mine. However, on my current phone (nexus 6p) the manage screen function crashes the launcher. I am unable to add, remove or change home screens. Not sure what the issue is. Could be with the phone or the app. A bug fix would make this app an easy 5/5 stars!
lost Pro again? I noticed notifications were not showing so I went to Apex settings and noticed Pro wasnt working? So I lost Pro? I reinstalled it and still wont give me the pro features.Its still happening. Sometimes the pro features are disabled then I reboot the phone or restart apex launcher and they turn up. FIX!
I have Apex customized like a hot rod. One and two finger gestures have enabled me to remove many icons from my UI like drawer and camera. All the customizations of Nova plus more. I've been using Apex for over a year and although I often experiment with other launchers I always come back.
Very dissapointed in app and developer The description promises that the paid app includes unread counters when used with the additional notifier app unfortunately this functionality in not consistent. The launcher is also prone to crashing. What was also dissapointing is the developer ignores emails and the faq section of the developers website contains malware. Clearly the developer is only interested in taking your money. Look elsewhere is my advice unless you want to waste your money.
Still getting ads with pro DONT BUY I am not sure why I am still getting ads when I bought the pro version. It's always the same ad from (clash of clans). I am really stating to get annoyed with it. I would love to get my money back because I will be switching to another theme with pro version. Thanks.
Great Features, Incredibly Unstable Edited: Love the features. Nicely simple but powerful gestures, good customization, landscape orientation. Unfortunately it now crashes. All the time. At least once an hour. I had set this aside after formerly loving it. Running Android 5.0 on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Great launcher, simple.........perfect Been using this launcher for years. No reason to ever switch. I do have a suggestion, I would really like to add shortcuts to an app group in my app drawer to home screens........or add a folder that links to an app group. This way I don't have to add apps to folders on my home screens, I just have to sort them in the app drawer. If this could be done that would be great.
Really nice app. Love the ability to lock screens and extra customization options. However despite installing the addon I have lost the notification counters. Not sure if this is linked to me also no longer always getting notication sounds when I received an email or text. Mixed bag of awesomeness and aggravation.
Big Learning curve Three weeks ago my phone was make me very mad. Apps disappearing and moving. IPhone has settings for that. Research tells me it's a Launcher. Say WHAAAAAÀAT? Two weeks later everyone is saying-how you get your phone to look like that. The Big letters. The groupings. The colours. A big Learning curve. Actually the learning wasn't hard, bit time consuming but worth every second. If they gave me room I'd tell you a lot more. I tried. Roy
I CANNOT GET OVER THIS LAUNCHER. It's perfect how it allows all the customization you should need without overpowering the type of device itself. My Google pixel runs supremely and the search bar looks even classier with this launcher. Rare find, sticking to it.
Almost perfect The only thing I'm having issues with is scroll detection/sensitivity on the homescreen and in the appdrawer. Sometimes I swipe horizontally and the page stays the same, my live wallpaper always detects my swipes so the issue must lay with Apex (experienced across multiple devices). A setting to change the sensitivity or simply a fix for the issue would be very welcome.
It crashes like a lot It crashes at least 10 times a day. But I'm not willing to go over to Nova because I spent money on this and it took a long time for me to set it up exactly how I like it. I have send crash reports and crash reports but it never gets freaking fixed. Apex dev, if you're reading this pleaaaase fix it from crashing on my phone. I have a gs6 edge on AT&T I have been using this launcher for over two years I think. I'd really appreciate it if you would fix it. Thanks.
Black screen freezes when swapping to homescreen I've been using Apex for several years since I first moved to Android and had been loving it. However a few updates ago has caused the launcher to freeze in a black screen for several seconds when swapping from apps to the home screen. This is on my LG G3 both on Kitkat 4.4.2 and after the upgrade to Lollipop 5.0 recently. Please fix it as it's starting to become unusable.
Pretty good, and by far the best Lacks a couple of key features, that I would love to see. Add functiom to select multiple apps to add to home screen, not just one at a time. Add function to select a different wallpaper for each screen. Add function to auto hide the dock & notification(status) bar after making a selection from either.
Terrible Bought it so I could create folders, but they just look terrible. Some icons are bigger than others, takes a few seconds to open the folder and is glitchy in doing so, freezes constantly. The free version works miles better. I want a refund!
Third party advertising 😕 Was good launcher but now I have to lower my stars. Funny thing is I am on the paid for version. And Co. E to find out that it installed a third party advertisement called "Feeling Lucky" wtf
Was good, no longer updated regularly Sadly with various bugs springing up this developer has not been providing regular updates. Switched to Nova which thankfully has a layout importer which did a fairly good job of easing the transition with its apex layout import.
Don't buy till it's fixed :Crashes 2-3 times every day almost I purchased pro version I love the launcher however it crashes almost everyday and freezes up my note4 can someone fix this issue with note 4? I have to revery back to the touch wiz and I hate going back. It also does not display all my folders and apps sometimes and I need to restart.
Beats Apple and Samsung! Upgraded to android 6.0 on S5 it got slow, i remembered i used apex long before. It got so well integrated its seemless, high performance. And turned my phone into a brand new power horse! PLUS the amazing features, purchased the pro as a THANK YOU
Folders not opening correctly I absolutely love this launcher, so much so that I upgraded to the pro version. However, after the most recent update, the folders I have created do not open properly. Can you please try and correct this? Thanks!
This had been my launcher of choice for years. I've installed it on family and friend's phones, and three of my own. Sadly it appears the dev has abandoned the app and stopped all work. No updates in over a year, and the small, annoying, unfixed issues continue to pile up. A real shame for what was, in my opinion, the best launcher for a lot of years. Uninstalling today and learning to use Nova. If you're in the market for a launcher, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
Dishonest Loved this launcher. I had used it through three different devices. Could not have given my money quick enough to get the pro version, but I will not use it anymore. Pro version STILL has the adware/malware... All you did was hide it from the app drawer not remove it. DEV cannot be trusted now. Moving on to another launcher.
