      When we first launched 9 Cards in 2014, the biggest complaint we received was “This product is great, but why can’t I set it as my default launcher?!” You spoke, we listened. Presenting 9 Cards V.2:

      9 Cards is the first open source, fully integrated Home Launcher for Android written in Scala. This launcher is highly-customizable, innovative, and free. It enhances a user’s Android experience through a unique hierarchical interface which intelligently activates app categories based on your daily routine and the places you visit.
      Your phone use changes throughout the day, that's why 9 Cards shows widgets adapted to your daily routine by Moments. If you're working, at home, or relaxing at night, 9 Cards can detect your habits, whether it's listening to music, driving, or playing games. 9 Cards is made exclusively for Android.

      Key Features

      ★ Organize your Apps

      9 Cards does the bulk of the work for you, organizing your apps into collections. Get quick and easy access to the apps you need most without wasting time searching for them.

      ★ Adapts to your day

      Mobile usage changes depending on the time of day or where you are. Most people use different apps at work, at home, or when they’re working out. In conjunction, users often use different apps in the morning while getting ready for the day than when they’re at home relaxing at night. But everyone’s different, that’s why 9 Cards adapts to your daily routine and launches the apps you want, when you want them.

      ★ Discover new Apps

      How many times have you been asked a question such as, "What apps do you use to edit photos?" With 9 Cards, you can share and discover app collections created by the community. Your favorite games, the best apps of 2017, etc. Become an expert or follow someone that is!

      ★ Grow

      Wishing 9 Cards had a specific feature it doesn’t contain now? It’s Open Source! Feel free to comment, commit, submit PRs, and help this project be the best that it can be, we’re all better together!

      Hi guys! Great work on the update, finally able to back to this for a launcher. Only issue is that when I click on a "card" from the home screen it takes me back to the previous card I'd just opened. Needless to say, this is quite annoying. So I open finance collection and go back to home screen, then click on games collection and it takes me back to the finance collection. Hopefully this issue is being looked at. Also options to remove status bar and google search would be great. And ability to hide apps from app drawer too. Thanks!

      A lot of improvement has gone into this since my last review! Looks like a decent launcher now. Need to do some little tweaks to get it working just right for me, but looks good! OLD REVIEW: This is not a true Launcher. It is an App you can use in conjunction with your current Launcher. It adds a hot spot that you can swipe down to have quick access to open your card sections. Navigation is clunky and adds more steps to opening apps than just using your current Launcher. It does have a quick launch feature that is friendlier, but it only usable with Google Launcher. I would use this if it was an actual LAUNCHER, and not a side app. I purchased Pro in hopes for better options, disappointed.

      There should be recent calls first in the start. One should b able to set default home. And the worst all i could add was folders collections you call them. But not app shortcuts to my home screen i wasted 15 mins trying to do.

      I want to try this launcher but it's just stuck at step 2(creating collections). Please fix this ASAP. P.S. - I've given all the required permissions.

      Really wanted to like it but hate the google integration, I don't use google services or search. I don't like that I have to sign into google to use the launcher. I did like the UI, and app categories.

      TOO INTRUSIVE AND JUST DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!! First things first: What kinda launcher demands that we log into our accounts just to use? Just shut up and let us use it already. And secondly It refuses to just let me in. Keeps claiming that i need to select a collection.... BUT THERE IS NONE!!!!!! Again, just shut up and let us use the launcher already.

      The only issue I have so far is the "sidebar" icons sometimes disappear. I don't think some people get the purpose of this app at all. This isn't meant to be a homescreen. It's a quick way to launch apps from within another app instead of going back to the launcher's app drawer. If you don't want that, don't use it.

      Interesting I like the idea and the appearance, but 9 Cards would be better as a fully integrated launcher. As an app, it doesn't seem to add much to the other launchers I've tried. The gestures to open 9 cards tend to conflict with other launchers.

      The performance still very slow as an app drawer!! ______________________________________ Beautiful & Excellent App to replace App Drawer in a clever way, but it's little slow at opening time for loading apps and does not remain running in background to avoid this slowness problem each time we start 9card again !!

      What's the point? The fact that you can't set this as your default UI/home screen is a joke. I don't see the point downloading it at all as it's just an app you have to open every time you want to change the look of your UI. And when you use your close button it closes this launcher and you're reverted back to your previous launcher.
