User Reviews

Users praise AUG Launcher for strong customization via custom gestures, a clean minimalist UI, fast access to apps, and solid security options, along with widget/icon-pack support and low resource use. Yet many reviews point to stability issues—bugs and occasional freezes—and raise privacy concerns due to odd behavior and pop-ups. Feature gaps, such as app sorting and batch-folder organization, plus questions about pricing and ongoing development, temper enthusiasm. Overall, the app is highly capable for power users, but reliability and transparency improvements are needed to satisfy broader adoption.

Pros

Powerful custom gestures and runes to open apps and folders.
Clean minimalist home screen with fast access to apps.
Security features to lock folders and sensitive apps.
Widget and icon-pack support for customization.
Fast, stable performance with low resource usage across devices.

Cons

Bugs and lack of ongoing development lead to instability.
Freezes on the home screen after configuring settings; privacy concerns (unauthorized access to Google Photos).
Widget duplication/ghost widgets disrupt visibility.
Unwanted/pop-up behavior and suspicious activity when managing apps (e.g., slow removal, random boxes).
Missing essential features like sorting by name or installation date and easy batch-folder organization; pricing/not freely available.

From Feb.2023 I felt this app as worstest of all. Just tried today for any changes, but No. 👎👎➕️👎👎➕️👎👎

Really unique . edit: this day I still love idea of this long-term but I think I've been using it now over 3 years on and off and there's still no search function on the app drawer which makes just basic searching for apps that way and incredibly time-consuming if you use a lot of them. gestures don't always work but you can customize them which helps. but not much has changed since 2022 when I started tinkering I'm not going to delete it. It's starting to feel more like a party trick though.
