FAST App Search Tool

ligi

About this app

Find and Launch Applications fast and for free with a small App that needs not a single permission!

Just type in a fraction of the name of the App you want to launch - most of the time 3 chars are enough.

If you have an Device with Jelly-Bean or newer you can use the Google Now gesture to open this app.

The app is smaller than 70kb

FAST is an recursive acronym for FAST App Search Tool

You can choose between 3 Themes:
#1 dark
#2 light
#3 transparent ( try this with some Live Wallpaper :)

A single click launches the App - a long click gives you 3 Options:
#1 Go to the App details
#2 Open the App in Google Play
#3 Open the App as a Notification for FAST access at a later time

The App is GPLv3 - you can find the source on GitHub: https://github.com/ligi/FAST

Ratings and reviews

Great app. Super fast. If there are ads I don't even notice them. But no updates since 2017? I love the option to change app name and make it searchable. (I don't know why apart from daftness, but some app names don't match Play Store listings. Tracfone app is called 'My Account.'). You can set preferences to search package names as well as bring up the App Info tab with a long press. I have 5 Android devices and this app is always the first I install.

Thx ligi, I use it every day! Really useful, thx! With the add more label feature i create more icon for the most used apps to easy find. Its so interesting, when i use it as my home page, and also have another fast app search tool on it! Somehow once i wanted to duplicate that fast app icon in the main fast app page, that i use for make two categories, but somehow there created abaut 20 fast app logo when i just want to duplicate it. :D But this small bug just happend once and actually was fun.

Good App. I really enjoy using it. How about an update please? There is a need for extra app sizes. Also need some more sorting options, ie another page to sort by type, SMS another with favourites, etc. Let's talk please.
