### 5/5 — Fast and easy

*2026-08-23*

John at Macstories recommended this app. I was using Launcher but the visible loading of shortcut screen was very distracting. Lock Launcher fixed this with direct load and it’s fast. I also struggled with the launcher widget in config mode when I pulled my phone out of my pocket. 
 There are so many options in this app. I don’t think I’ll use them all but it’s nice to have them
I am highly recommending this app. Well worth the price

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-08-12, version 2.1.1*

Veeeery good

### 5/5 — 다이나믹 아일랜드로 앱을 키면 독 화면이 안 사라져요.

*2026-08-09*

원래는 다이나믹 아일랜드를 눌러 독에 있는 앱을 실행하면 상단에 켜져있던 독 화면이 자동으로 사라졌는데, 지금은 제가 따로 화면을 터치하기 전까지는 사라지지 않고 있습니다. 수정 부탁드립니다.

### 2/5 — I have problems, figuring everything out with this

*2026-07-31, version 2.0.9*

I wish they would put some tutorials on YouTube to figure out all the features

### 5/5 — Direct launch is a game changer

*2026-07-28, version 2.0.9*

I’m so so happy about direct launch, thank you thank you thank!

### 1/5 — Bad upgrade

*2026-07-19*

I already bought this app. With this last upgrade, I need to buy it again to use the same tools that I used before. So sad.

**Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please contact customer service via email for 1-on-1 support, and we will manually restore your account and compensate you.
please contact us via email at LockLauncherApp@gmail.com. We are an independent development team and value our reputation greatly. We kindly ask you to return your precious little star to us, as it is very, very important to us. Love you! ❤️🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Great functionality and versatility.

*2026-07-13, version 2.0.7*

Absolutely love the extra tools and widgets I can add to my lock screen and Dynamic Island, but it also does so much more. Supports Liquid Glass too. Love this app.

### 4/5 — 4 stars

*2026-07-10, version 2.0.7*

Convenient but has to go through the app to reach the apps on your lock screen widget.

### 1/5 — 별로

*2026-07-09, version 2.0.7*

아이폰 창을 닫으면 같이ㅜ되어버려 또다시 열어야하고 일일이 ㅠㅠ. 비효율적 같네요 한번설정하면 계속있어야 하는데 없어져 버려오 어찌하라어??!!!

### 4/5 — Eigentlich fantastisch, aber …

*2026-07-06*

… leider ist es nicht mehr möglich, die Apps innerhalb der Favoritenkiste durch Drücken/Ziehen frei zu verschieben.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Das freie Verschieben in den Favoriten wird weiterhin unterstützt 🙂 Bitte öffnen Sie im Favoriten-Bereich das Sortiermenü und wählen Sie „Default Order“ / „Standardreihenfolge“. Bei „Most Used“, „Last Used“ oder „A–Z“ ist die Reihenfolge automatisch, daher ist Drag & Drop dort deaktiviert. Wenn Ihnen die App insgesamt gefällt, würden wir uns sehr über Ihre Unterstützung freuen und hoffen, dass Sie uns Ihre wertvollen Sterne wieder schenken. 😘🙏
