THE ARCADE
- Customizable Video Game Hub, Game Launcher & Game Booster with Console Launchers' Aesthetics

Enter The Arcade! Transform your phone or tablet into an immersive and console-like gaming experience, filled with video game graphics that propel you into your next gaming session.
The Arcade is a lightning-fast, ad-free, and fully customizable game launcher and gaming hub app that automatically organizes your games, monitors device performance, and boosts your gaming experience with a clean, straightforward, console launcher interface.
If you are used to Samsung Gaming Hub (Game Hub), Xiaomi Game Turbo, Game Space, Game Mode, or similar, you'll feel right at home – but now with a powerful, all-in-one game booster and game launcher for any Android device with Play Store!

Please note that The Arcade does not include any built-in arcade or retro games - it's a tool and launcher for anyone that appreciates a better gaming experience.

• No background activity when the gaming launcher is not on screen - saves your battery.

The best game launcher. NO ADS!!! FREE! Praise Jesus!! It took me so long to find one with no ads. Finally all my mobile games are organized in one place, without a bunch of annoying ADS like Samsung game launcher or Google Play games. Thank you! I actually wound up paying for the premium features just to support the app, but it's incredible even without them.

this is the best game launcher I have ever used, and I have used a lot. If you want a clean, simple, well designed, and optimized experience for launching games this is the go-to. it even has unique features like changing apps icon and name, although it's locked behind a payment wall (which I believe is totally worth it as it also includes many other features). The latest update was the icing on the cake as it finally included detailed data previews like total playtime and top 10 used apps.

Thanks for your review and feedback! Preventing notifications would be connected to actually activating the Do Not Disturb settings in the operating system. Will investigate what 3rd party apps are allowed to do here and how we could create a meaningful and intuative feature around that.

These are things that we also want! 😊 Just a matter of planning. We will add icon styling options (corder radius, square/tall/wide, text under/inside etc). We will also add more device info widgets, together with some config for which ones to display. We have said ping, but maybe speed as well? Not disturb and other settings maybe per collection?
