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.

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.

Great new start, many rooms for improvement. Need more customization feature like disabling dock, no search bar, custom icon, etc,...

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.
Would love to use this purely because it's open source, saddly I can't get past step two. Any dev knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated
It still needs improvement I am unable to see the phone app in my app drawer
Ok, a good launcher so far. It would be nice to have an option to hide the drawer button and swipe up like the Pixel Launcher...
stuck at chose account... not displaying Google account to select
I CAN'T GET PAST THE SECOND WELCOME SCREEN "select which collections you want to use from 0 apps"
Much better after major updates Would need many more improvements such as customization.. But a great start

- Jorge Galindo. Product Designer Love this categorisation launcher. It's really improved after the update as well.
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.

9 Cards Product Designer Has potential Make it a real launcher and I'll give it 5 stars. Til then it's just irrelevant and a waste of space

9 Cards Product Designer Why cant I make it my default launcher? It would be great an default launcher, now its just an app which disappears with one extra back press.. I am uninstalling it now, will love to use once it becomes a full launcher
For now give 3 stars And i think it would be great if you update it to make it able to use as a launcher. I will give 5 star if you do it. I hope this could be happen.
Beautiful. Amazing Launcher! Please add the option to set it as your default home screen. What's the harm in adding it?
Great app! This is really cool, but I'd love it as a complete home launcher replacement. All it needs is a set of favorite apps at the bottom of the screen and it would be perfect!
Awesome launcher Its such an awesome launcher but can you set this app as a default launcher please?i really enjoyed this launcher so much because it is so easy to use and very simple and won't make me boring. Please add this important feature for the next update :)
Wow. There is only two things wrong with it. One, sometimes the flip animations on the cards gets a little stuck, and the whole app just feels sinister.
Please add option to set it as default launcher What's the harm in doing so?
If this app would be an actual launcher, I would definitely apply set it on my phone. But it isn't. So, for now, I unninstall it.
Not a Launcher This doesn't show up as a home screen replacement, when fixed 5 stars.

9 Cards Product Designer I'm in love Love this launcher and goes great with my phone it just won't let me set it as my home launcher?.
I like it. But like the other subscribers started - wish it was a real launcher. I would use it. It's exactly what I've been looking for
No Buenos Great Idea but what's the purpose if you can't save it as you're default app launcher.

- Jorge Galindo. Product Designer It would be very nice if it was a stand alone launcher instead of just an app organiser.
