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. 😘🙏 ### 3/5 — Always need to force refresh *2026-06-21* Even if you pay for the full version, everyday I have to force refresh twice to recover my lockscreen icons which is very annoying. **Developer response:** We have fixed all those issues, please update to the latest version.

Can’t wait to see what they come out with next. ### 5/5 — Fonctionnel *2026-05-29* Pratique , accès rapide aux applications les plus consultées !!! ### 3/5 — Hmm *2026-05-10* It’s ok not the worst. The app its self is kinda a mess and not clean at all, not much cool widget design from what I seen and when you actually use it, it’s not a clean transition what so ever **Developer response:** We are very sorry for the unpleasant experience you had.

LockLauncherApp@gmail.com 저희는 귀하의 평가와 입소문을 매우 중요하게 생각합니다. 다시 한 번 기회를 주시면 감사하겠습니다.🙏❤️ ### 5/5 — My rating to this *2026-04-22, version 2.0.7* This is the best app ever it has the best features you can ever have on the iPhone 14 ,15, 16,17 thank you very much ### 5/5 — Very powerful *2026-04-18* Powerful but not easy to try and master. Thankfully I watched a YouTube video that helped immensely. Now my Home Screen and Dynamic Island are working g marvellously for me. Still more to try and learn. **Developer response:** Thank you for your support and encouragement. If there are any other issues, please contact us by email to resolve this issue for you one-on-one.

So sad. **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Love you! ❤️🙏🏻 ### 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??!!! ### 1/5 — Fort potentiels mais instables et détériore les fonctions de l’iPhone. *2026-04-28* L’application a un fort potentiel car elle permet de personnaliser des fonctionnalités telles que Dynamic Island, les activités en direct ou encore des raccourcis divers et variés. Grâce à elle, on peut enfin aller encore plus loin dans les capacités de son iPhone. Cependant, elle est très instable. Il faudrait avant tout stabiliser et rendre plus robuste l’app. Parmi les problèmes les plus dérangeants : - elle plante et se fige - les personnalisations s’entremêlent dans les menus de l’app (ex. 1/5 : interface qui mélange les réglages de Dynamic Island et ceux de PiP) - cassage de la localisation générale du téléphone (plus d’app météo ni de navigateur GPS, etc.) - quand on essaye de profiter des raccourcis, on est constamment envoyé sur un écran figé de l’app, ce qui casse l’ergonomie du flux. Je pensais que c’était inévitable, mais il m’est arrivé plusieurs fois d’avoir un lancement direct sans basculer sur l’app « Lock Luncher » - l’iPhone peut se mettre à beaucoup chauffer tout seul avec l’activité en arrière-plan de l’app, et nous savons que la batterie n’aime pas quand ça chauffe. Bref, j’ai payé la licence à vie mais je ne peux pas prendre le risque de détériorer mon iPhone sur une application non aboutie. **Developer response:** We’re very sorry for the poor experience you’ve had. We haven’t been able to reproduce these issues in our own testing, so we’d really appreciate your help in sending us crash logs or screen recordings so we can identify the root cause. 1. If the app crashed, please send the crash log to us by email. For the other issues, please also let us know the exact steps that triggered them. This would be extremely helpful. 2. The Dynamic Island and PiP settings will be fully separated in the next version update. 3. iOS Location Services support concurrent usage by multiple apps, so our app should not be able to affect GPS behavior in other apps. Please share your analysis process or reasoning so we can investigate further. 4. Usually, if an app is successfully parsed by AI, it can be opened instantly through its URL Scheme. If parsing fails, we fall back to opening it via Shortcuts, which may briefly switch to the Shortcuts app for about one second. This is expected behavior. If you experienced any other interruption, please send us a video or screenshots. 5. When you mentioned “background,” were you referring to Dynamic Island? Please rest assured that Dynamic Island and Live Activities are scheduled and managed by iOS itself, with system-level performance protection. We are an independent development team and we care deeply about product quality and user trust. We will investigate and optimize every issue you reported. Please contact us directly for one-on-one support at LockLauncherApp@gmail.com. We will do our best to resolve these problems. Thank you again for your patience and support. We will keep making the app better. ❤️🙏 ### 1/5 — Remove from iPhone standby screen *2026-04-28, version 2.0.7* Please. How do I remove this from my iPhone standby or nightstand mode screen. It hides the clock which I need. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-24, version 2.0.7* Added apps to Home Screen. Didn’t show. Deleted app. ### 1/5 — In cahoots with Apple. *2026-04-15, version 2.0.7* I have iPhone X and have been using this app for longer than I can remember. One day it just stopped working because I won’t buy a new iPhone. In other situations they call that fraud. ### 1/5 — "Trial" is deceiving *2025-10-25, version 1.11.8* I downloaded and signed up for the three day "trial". I decided after using it for a while that it was not for me and canceled my subscription. Little did I realize that when I signed up for the "trial" it included a cancellation of next year. So after the three day "trial" trial I was charged for the full year subscription anyway. Most of the time when I think of a trial it's to test out an app to see if I can use it or not. Judging from the reviews the app itself is probably fine for people who need an app like this. However the so-called trial was deceptive in my opinion ### 1/5 — Causing bugs in Carplay and Mac 26. I don’t understand your instructions. Please see review. *2025-10-02, version 1.11.3* This app is showing widgets in Carplay and Mac menubar. Very annoying. I don’t understand your instructions. “last position” - do you mean “3D Touch”. Where is the “hidden feature”? What is the hidden feature called? How do I find it? Where are the instructions? ### 1/5 — 별로 *2025-09-14, version 1.10.5* 아이폰 창을 닫으면 같이ㅜ되어버려 또다시 열어야하고 일일이 ㅠㅠ. 비효율적 같네요 ### 1/5 — Continuously unable to fix the bug *2025-08-25, version 1.10.8* Later on, the widgets on the negative one screen almost never worked properly, the icons frequently disappeared, and it had reached an unbearable point. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-05, version 2.0.7* Very good idea works great ### 5/5 — Me *2026-07-04, version 2.0.7* Wow ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-06-24* Controls things I didn’t even know was possible ### 5/5 — Super App *2026-06-11* Die App ist super gut und alle Funktionen funktionieren perfekt. Ich finde es auch super, dass die App einen nicht wie bei anderen Apps praktisch zwingt premium zu kaufen und alle 3 Sekunden Werbung kommt. Ich würde diese App also definitiv weiterempfehlen ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-06-06, version 2.0.7* Love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
