This does the same thing as a folder with all my games in it. It just scans for games and lets you launch the game from a menu of games, like in a folder. Edit: I downloaded because of the high reviews. I thought it must be an amazing launcher. But sadly, I don't need an app with in-app purchases just to open a game when the phone has a built-in launcher that does exactly the same thing. I see no value in this for me. And the Dev being snarky is another reason I would not use.

No one needs to purchase anything to use this app, or watch any ads. If you're happy with your preinstalled launcher, you should probably not continue downloading game launcher apps - you will just approach more developers with equally ignorant comments. We get tons of valuable feedback from users that dislike our app. But rarely written like this.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Instant buy, even though I was happy with the free features. Great job devs! My only request would be to keep it simple. Any attempts at further monetization should be 2nd to the primary goal of organizing and launching the games you already have, not trying to sell you on new ones.

Thanks for your great review and feedback! And we agree, the main goal of this app will remain to do what other game launchers fail to do (organizing/launching/styling), including keeping the core stuff free. We do need some monetization to stay motivated as we're spending tons of time on this project. The current approach seems reasonable though.

I'm ready to buy the premium version. But what is that Samsung Dex option? I am a OnePlus user and hate all the Samsung products and it's an annoying thing that such an option is showing for non samsung devices. I am a guy who wants minute perfection in every small thing and that's why I love to have a game launcher like this. Then comes this weird option of Samsung Dex to other users like me. This single thing makes me so annoying that this is built for samsung. Roll out a fix for this.

Hi! We're glad you like the app 😃. The Samsung Dex mode is a way to extend a device's screen to another, e.g. a tv. The tricky thing is that Samsung usually blocks all launchers.. Our app is for everyone though!! This was simply a mod to help these users. We fully agree with you on this one. We will hide the setting for all non-Samsung devices. ✌️

What’s new

• Nicer splash screen, and an option to hide it
• UI improvements (less lag, optimized image management, status bar mode, no mixed language)
• Added icon animations (can be disabled)
• Stability improvements and crash fixes
