Can’t figure out how to change it. Delete them both and retry only does the same thing again. ### 3/5 — Some bugs to fix? *2023-01-09, version 1.6.8* When I add a second shortcut on the Home Screen launch, the same shortcut icon appears (I selected different icons for each). Please fix! Also, the leave a review button on the app doesn’t work… ### 3/5 — Lock screen widget disappears *2022-12-27, version 1.6.7* App is amazing but my only issue is after a while the lock screen widget disappears so i have to open the app again in order for the widgets to come back. Besides that amazing app. ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2022-12-20, version 1.6.7* Handy little app but I have two issues with it. Firstly, the floating tool bar doesn’t always appear at the bottom of the screen, even if the app is running. Secondly, when I try to add a contact as a phone call short cut, some of them cause the bar to not show at all. If I delete that shortcut, it shows the bar again. Bugs? ### 2/5 — Works Part-Time *2022-11-26, version 1.5.9* The dynamic island disappears from the lock screen every five minute - pointless that I paid for something that doesn't work. Will report this app to Apple. PS. If this app worked it would be brilliant - it simply doesn't work. ### 3/5 — Only 2 icons can use. Have paid version *2022-11-20, version 1.5.7* I purchased this with the promo code. I can only add 2 items to launchify screen. Anymore the icon goes away in dynamic island. Ideas? ### 3/5 — It's good, but there is one annoying feature... *2022-11-17, version 1.5.7* This app is good, and 99% of the time does what it is designed to do, however... The rocket icon stays open on the dynamic island and it's very, very annoying. For this reason it loses two stars. I don't want to see the rocket on screen the whole time I'm using my iPhone. Please delete this feature, or at least give us the option to disable it, and you will get my five star approval. ### 2/5 — 😏 *2022-11-07, version 1.5.6* Widgets keep on disappearing on my screen! ### 2/5 — 🚀 *2022-10-31, version 1.5.5* Does anyone know how to get the dynamic island to work because I seem to can’t! And it feels like you’ll have to pay for it to even get it working and to be fair the lock launcher seem to be better app than this because you don’t have to pay for it and works great! ### 3/5 — Nice app but still need improvement *2022-10-26, version 1.5.2* I particularly like the latest update with live activities but it still unstable. I had live activities showing different apps i was using and the next day it was gone…no more live activities. Please fix it ### 1/5 — Too expensive for custom apps *2022-10-17, version 1.2.1* You’re out of your mind with a subscription for this type of thing. One time purchase and you got yourself a deal. ### 1/5 — Does nothing *2022-10-02, version 1.2.1* Followed tutorial and can even see it as an option to add after clicking on add widget. Idea is good but maybe someone who knows what they are doing can build a better version not some exchange student in college making his first app. ### 4/5 — Question *2022-09-29, version 1.2* How can I choose whatsapp ordinary for my widget? Because when i choose whatsapp only whatsapp business comes ### 1/5 — No 1 times subscription *2022-09-28, version 1.2* Stop asking month / year subscription. 1 time it gives you the chance to feel free for good. I just installed and ready to uninstall it. Good luck with your business ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-09-25, version 1.2* Followed instructions to add a widget. Clicking on it pulls up the desired app, but then clicking on the app doesn’t do anything. Not functional. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2024-05-12, version 2.0* App and shortcuts are horrible, do not download! It’ll mess up your settings, I tried the battery charge shortcut and it turned off wifi, made my phone into low power mode and turned my brightness all the way down. ### 1/5 — Randomly charging subscription *2024-01-30, version 2.0* Out of the blue, they’re charging a subscription fee now. I’ll happily pay a one time fee for something like this but a subscription? No, I’ll find another app ### 1/5 — Doesn't stay open *2023-03-03, version 1.6.9* The whole reason of this app is nullified by the fact that it doesn't stay open. So unless you want to open it every few hours, stay away. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2023-02-13, version 1.6.9* It randomly disappears from the Lock Screen which defeats the purpose. They force you to pay the special deal price of 3.99 before you can try it or you won’t get the deal. When you add a new widget the icon for the new one replaces the icon for an existing one so now you can’t tell them apart. Takes forever to fix if you are able to. Overall very disappointing and cumbersome. Save your money until apple does their own thing or try a different one. Wish I could return it. ### 1/5 — Dynamic Island not working *2022-12-15, version 1.6.6* Paid for full version but dynamic Island function not working. Only the lockscreen. I world like refund. ### 1/5 — Dynamic island wallpapers notch bigger than actual notice. *2022-12-11* The Dynamic island wallpapers included with the app the notch is bigger than the physical one. I tried contacting support but it sends you to a vanilla type company website. Also it would be nice to have the widgets on the Lock Screen live activities disabled (but keep the regular shortcut to apps widgets) but have it enabled for the dynamic island. Plus why would you need a battery % on the dynamic island when you can just enabled the built in one on iOS 16 **Developer response:** Hi Bobby, You can find the support email in the App Store description. About the Dynamic Island wallpapers, you can resize them with a Pinch To Zoom in order to apply them to your iPhone screen. The reason to have the battery % on Dynamic Island is a "nice to have" but not mandatory feature to have. All of those set of features are optional. If you have any further question, feel free to contact us via email. Cheers, Launchify Team ### 1/5 — Really good, but .. *2022-12-07, version 1.6* Great app, very handy and makes life easier. One issue is that with time it is removed from the home/lock screen (12-24 hours), so you have to launch the app again to open it and have it visible on the Lock Screen and Home Screen. Why is that? Can it not be on full time so I don’t have to do that? ALSO, since the update - there is a ping noise that happens every 30 seconds. I have to close down the app and then the rocket leaves the dynamic island and the apps are no longer available on the home/Lock Screen. VERY POOR!!! I essentially can no longer use it !!! ### 1/5 — Dynamic Island *2022-11-17, version 1.5.7* The Dynamic island is ruined with this app. Please only implement on the Lock Screen. Keep my dynamic island free. ### 1/5 — You need to fix it *2022-11-02, version 1.5.6* All the icons on lock screen keeps disappearing all the time and it’s upsetting cause I paid for it Absolute waste of money . Not working most of the time , won’t recommend it ### 1/5 — Dynamic island *2022-11-01, version 1.5.5* You are lier. Dynamic island doesnt work . I bought the premium but there is no difference . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good app👍 *2025-01-15, version 2.0* Hi it’s me Eyad and this app already helped me a lot thanks for making this app it’s a 5 stars keep up the good work👍 ### 5/5 — Highly recommend! *2023-02-07, version 1.6.9* For only a 99 cents a month, this is extremely worth it. I use the features from this app every single day, multiple times a day. Super easy, convenient, and affordable! ### 5/5 — Best thing *2023-01-02, version 1.6.7* Best app ever ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-10-27, version 1.5.3* It does work just like the tutorial video instructs. You need to pay close attention to the video and it works like a charm. I love it. ### 5/5 — It works! *2022-09-28, version 1.2* Pay attention to the instructions. I missed the most important point. The creator was kind enough to help me. ### 5/5 — Love itt *2022-09-24, version 1.2* Easy to use, makes launching app from the Lock Screen easy! ### 5/5 — Best. App. Ever. *2022-09-22, version 1.2* Literally not just saying that. I kinda was suspicious about it because I thought it would be too good to be true. The fact that I only had to watch a short video to work it out and now I can open the notes app and Facebook messenger from my lock screen in one second is so cool! Might pay the premium down the line if I want to add more than two app widgets in the future but two is a good amount! And there was so many apps in the database too! Crushed it! ### 5/5 — Rating *2022-09-20, version 1.1* This launchify app is brilliant….such quick and easy access to your favourite apps straight from the Home Screen…. Good work can’t wait for the updates 👌 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2022-09-20, version 1.1* Amazing I know maybe 2 free but stats enough for the avatar user you should get this app ### 5/5 — Mouhameth *2022-09-20, version 1.1* Really well made simple and clean --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
