  • Updated Review

    I needed to go back and fix my unfounded original bad review. I was upset by the switch to subcription model. But this developer did everything right. He keept the features for previous paid users and also establish an optional one time payment for those that hate sub models. So kudos to the developer.

    Highly recommended.

  • Total Ripoff

    After buying this app, and using it regularly for months, I tried to use it again only to be told that every function is now locked behind a paid subscription paywall. This AFTER I already paid for the app. Totally bogus.

    EDIT: The developer sent an email to me, and showed me a way to make it work without paying.

  • I like it, but...

    I like it, but I think it still could get a few things done to it.

    1> I like the “True Black” theme, but I wish it would give you the option of having the “True Dark” and yet the icons (groups and actions) to be a bit whiter. The reason I say that is because the “True Black” is elegant, but the icons are a bit hard to see.

    2 > It needs so badly an easier way to find apps on the “All Supported Apps”. It could be a search bar or the alphabet you see on the side that jumps you to the beginning of the list of apps that start with that letter.

    3 > The schedule part should be more flexible. It could have a custom that lets you select when it’ll be scheduled.

  • Crashes

    I just downloaded Launch, and the first app I put in there (snapseed) crashes every single time Launch tries to open it.
    I really like the concept, but I use Snapseed often, so that is a real disappointment.
  • Developer broke it order to gouge $$$

    Had this app for years, which I use mostly just to launch common apps that didn’t fit on my home screen. Opened it today and everything is locked and I have to pay a subscription to keep using it (paid twice in the past already).

    There was no warning of this - used it this past weekend with no indication it was going to be disabled. Plus past purchases didn’t come with a “we will disable this whenever we want” warning.

    This is not the kind of developer I want to support.

  • This app is worth it

    This app has everything you need. It used to be paid and did not regret my purchase for a day. Their customer service is amazing, nice, and actually helpful.

    The app has all the functions that you see, and more.

    Get this app if you value happiness.
  • I’m just so...disappointed.

    Wait! What?! I’ve been an avid user of this software for years and love it and just upgraded and I am now being asked to pay an additional $30 for software that I’ve already paid for? That’s, like, extortion. I mean, I can’t expect to never pay for software upgrades but I didn’t get any warning. I just updated all my apps as I usually do and then BAM. No more launching. I would happily have used the previous version. I feel like I’ve been betrayed.. And I’m just really disappointed. :(

    Developer Response

    So sorry for the hassle. This is a bug that we're working to fix. In the mean time you can go to settings within the app, then tap Learn More, then scroll to the bottom and tap Restore Purchases. It will likely say no purchases were found, but your actions will be unlocked.
  • Fantastic for power users

    The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I would very much want to be able to trigger time and location based actions from the alerts sent to my Apple Watch. That would make things so much faster than having to pull out and unlock my iPhone.
  • Very unhappy with loss of features

    I have used this app for a very long time and have loved it. However, I went to launch one of my apps from within Launch Center and imagine my surprise when I find that I cannot launch the apps using the same workflow that I have used for a very long time. Instead, I find a lock on the app that I want to launch and can no longer launch my app. This is a very poor way to roll out an upgrade. If you want to charge for new features, great; but don’t take away features that I have had previously for a long time.

    So sorry about this! We're working to track down this bug and fix it. In the mean time you can go to settings within the app, then to Learn More, then scroll to the bottom and tap Restore Purchases. Before you do that though, we'd really appreciate some help tracking down this bug. Email launch@contrast.co and we'll have you run a couple diagnostics to help us figure out what's going on.
  • OK, better for accessibility people?

    hi, I am a user of apples voiceover software, and this app doesn't work well with it I cannot understand how to use it at all, if you could update it so it will work better with voiceover please that would be amazing I will wait for your response before I delete the app, I don't want to delete the app but if it doesn't work well with voiceover I can't use it
