Features & Capabilities

CircleLauncher is back! After a long break, this circular launcher lets you start your favorite apps or call your most-used contacts with one tap. NEW: swipe functions are now in the free CircleLauncher Swipe app. Enjoy a mac-like icon swiping animation and optional Parallax FX that adds depth behind the widget.

You can add frequently used apps or contacts to the launcher and start them quickly with one click. Use the included launcher icons or choose from icon packs. This free version has some limitations, and please don't move the app to the SD card. If you notice a bug or have questions, please email the developer.

User Reviews

Users praise CircleLauncher light for a simple, uncluttered widget-based home screen and a long-standing Start-menu feel. However, launch failures, compatibility issues with newer Android versions, and perceptions of neglect with outdated updates are common complaints. The widget-only access and occasional pricing frustrations add to user concerns. Overall, it remains valued for its minimalism and reliability among longtime users, but carries risk on modern devices due to ongoing support and update issues.

Pros

Keeps the home screen uncluttered and organized with a simple, clean widget-based launcher
Simple and easy to use; has proven reliability across many Android devices over the years
Provides a unique widget-driven Start menu for quick access to apps
The pro version offers more customization options for users who want them

Cons

Won’t open or launch reliably; users report it starts but then does nothing
Not compatible with newer Android versions and devices; needs updates (e.g., Android 12/S23 Ultra)
Perceived as abandoned due to long gaps between updates (last update years ago)
Access is widget-only; no direct app launcher, which many find inconvenient
Pro/premium pricing can be confusing or requires extra charges after initial purchase

Recent reviews

Every now and then someone creates a simple and no-nonsense game-changer. Only too happy to give this 5 stars. In conjunction with KWGT my phone has never been more accessible. whilst I know there's a paid version, this could probably benefit from a donateware option. Plus: Kudos for replacing the settings pop up.

Makes organising often used apps and functions a snap. One of the best thought out pieces of software I've used regardless of platform. Update: I can't update it as it is no longer compatible with my device. I use Android 12 which 40% of users still have so it seems odd shutting us out.
