Meh, interface not adaptive for iPad

It’s been years since Apple provided the capability to compile apps which scale and display well on both iPhone and iPad. But no messing with that here! If you want to use it on an iPad, you’ll either have a crummy zoomed phone app or use it at iPhone size (and a small-screen one at that).
I rarely use this app despite having it for years. I use my iPad more than my phone and the developer’s decision to more or less not support the iPad means it’s unlikely I’ll start.

Scheduling not really

I bought this app so I could schedule an action but it really doesn’t do it. Probably a limitation by Apple. All the app does is give you a notification that you have to swipe and enter your passcode in order to launch it. There’s no way to even respond through my Apple Watch which would be very convenient. Also, to schedule an action you have to go in and edit the action. I run the same action at a different time everyday and it would be much better to be able to drag the action into a “schedule section” and choose the time and day to do it from there.

Historically perfect

Update: THEY FIXED THE LOCATION BUG! This thing is *perfect*!

Combined with IFTTT and Workflow, you basically have to sit back and chill while your device does everything you’d otherwise have to waste about ten differently-placed taps on. Launch Center Pro is the app Apple should’ve made and built into every device they’ve made so far. It’s the power-users answer to all their prayers — and then some!

The one AND ONLY problem is the location bug which got introduced in the last update. Location-tracking will automatically turn itself off, for some reason.

Again, it’s the ONLY flaw in this otherwise piece of ART! Ignoring that, it’s a STEAL at the price the developers are selling this at. It could be on for $15 or more, and still be underpriced.

Thank God (and the devs) for Launch Center Pro!

Automate actions

I use it to instantly access functions within other apps.

•Creating a template for Day One journal entries
•Remind me to run a Workflow script every morning

Functional but still buggy

I have recently reinstalled the app and found out the the settings shortcuts are fix. I can now use Launches widget again to quickly access settings such as Bluetooth, cellular data etc. I was very happy because this app was back to being functional and because these functions mentioned above was the main reason why I use the app in the first place. However, I was quickly disappointed when I realized that the GPS/Location shortcut still not work. Overall, I think this app is unique and functional and worth the money as well as a space in my phone. However I am disappointed that the developer team didn't test their product thoroughly before push it to the market

Waste of time and money

Too hard to use. Very limited apps, unless I just couldn't figure it out properly

Very good, but not quite as useful as expected

I think this app is well/designed, with great options for a extensive range of customisation options. However, I thought I would end up using this more than I actually am, which is disappointing.

With quick actions on my new iPhone 6s, there are some things such as composing a new tweet or copying my clipboard to my Mac with Command-C that I can do a lot quicker, thanks to this app.

I do have one suggestion, however. My suggestion is for you to create a free version (perhaps with ads or limited features to differentiate it from the pro version) so people can try it out before they buy it. To be fair though, even though I was slightly disappointed with how often I use it, I would still buy it anyway because of the great customisation options.

Terrible waste of money

A waste of money unless you are very very lazy and can't be bothered locating an app. Didn't live up to expectations even slightly. Save your money and use the cheaper alternative that actually works or just click a couple of icons

So much potential

Edited December 2014
What I said in my first review stands, but I'm increasing the star rating because I do use this app a lot.
Sadly, app developers aren't all forthcoming with their URLs. I've figured a few out. But it's a hassle to add then that way.
Let's hope more apps are added because this is potentially such a great app.

... so few apps.
There are some common/popular apps that are not supported by this app, which limits its usefulness:

- skype
- one Note (can't stand Evernote)
- Note Suite
- Tripit
- gneo
- whatsapp
- Swift Key
- Airbnb
- Notability
- Air Keyboard
- Parkopedia &/or Parkbud
- Voice Memo

But it IS pre-loaded with "featured" apps (most of which you have to pay for). I have the apps I want, and am not spending more money when I'm happy using them.
This app has BRILLIANT potential. But I'm finding it frustrating, not being able to populate it with the apps I need to access in order for it to be indispensable. :(
