Leave a Review Lock Launcher
Really cool when it actually works
I love this concept, and when it actually works, it’s awesome. But every time I set it up, a day later it’s not longer on my Lock Screen. I have to go into Lock Launcher, turn the island off, then on again and it works. I have to do this after about 24-36 hours after I turn it on.David Cr.
Great concept…
After reading all of the reviews I was very excited to download this application. I downloaded and bought the app, installed it and started to figure out how to use it. I was able to add apps to the Lock Screen launcher, it appeared once on my Lock Screen and has since disappeared. There’s not much help in the support documentation, and I can’t determine if it’s user or application error. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I really like the idea of a Lock Screen launch pad versus widgets. Thank youShow lessChicken candles

I’d like to start off first by saying this app is pretty great. The customization it brings to iPhones is phenomenal. There are however a couple of kinks that need to be worked out sooner or later, but I have no doubt they will as the app gets updated pretty consistently. One gripe I have is that when the live activities feature is turned on, it slightly makes the dynamic island wider. They have customization options for the left and right side of the island, but even with both set to “none” it still makes it larger, even if just by a little bit. Secondly, the need to reopen the app and turn it back on every 12H is kind of tedious. I can see myself forgetting about it eventually and not returning to the app to re-enable it. This should get fixed asap, because it shouldn’t be too hard to run a refresh in the background without needing to open the app.
Even with these gripes the app is an easy 4/4.5 stars, just fix the small issues as soon as y’all figure out how!Show lessBlaze624

Thank you very much for your suggestions, they are very helpful to us and we hope to get your five stars, we are consistently optimizing and iterating the product. 1. The "None" on the left and right side of the island is really using blanks instead of spaces, so this extra bit of width is given by Apple by default and we have no control over it. If you want the island to be the smallest, you can also try turning on pure mode, or just swipe left on the island to close it up, which is Apple's own interaction logic. 2. Currently iOS 16.1 specifies that live activities are to be kept for a maximum of 12 hours, and dynamic island Island is to be kept for a maximum of 8 hours. We are working on an auto-renewal feature to help users keep it for longer. In addition, we currently also provide a launch item to turn on dynamic island to with one click, and you can quickly activate dynamic island to by adding it to the lock screen interface. We are an independent development team and we care a lot about word of mouth, we implore you to give us back our precious little stars, thank you so much. Love you, ❤️🙏🏻!Excellent app
Really great features and ease of use, would definitely recommend! I love that you can set custom images and corner radius. I just wish you could have the option to use live activities without the island launcher , and maybe the option to disable live activities when music is playing so it doesn’t cover the album artwork. Other than that the app is perfect!Show lessKennyRoo590
Suggestion
First of all, I think this is a very great app. But there’s one thing I would like to see, compatibility with Shortcuts so that you can turn the Live Activities on using a shortcut. This way after the 12 hours, you can have an automation in Shortcuts to turn it on every 12 or so hoursKingAZFlo
Dynamic island countdown?
Great app but I don't get why there's a countdown on the dynamic island when we have a live activity on? Would be better to just have the app icon or something.Llamayu
Nice live Activities Launcher app
This is a great app for the new update iOS 16.1. It may seen confusing at first, just play around with the app by discovering the features. It is very easy to use the functionality.Brad Shippee
A very handy tool for iOS16
I was able to configure two of my most used apps to the Lock Screen. The apps weren’t that popular so it takes some digging to find the correct URL scheme. But once done, it works like a charm. Highly recommended.yisu0719
