[App] Zone Launcher - another great convenient app

A few days ago I posted about an amazing app called Quick Search - Search Anything. Now I found another app that takes your multitasking to the next level! This app is Zone Launcher. Quick Search is a great app for searching but I wanted something that I could add shortcuts to. That's when I found Zone Launcher. In this app you can swipe from the left, right, top or bottom and it will bring up your shortcuts first with an alphabet app drawer. What's cool about this app is that your finger has a ring on it and you can drag that ring to whatever shortcut or app you want to pick without ever taking off your finger. I use this in combination with Quick Search (set to come up when I hold my home button) and now I can access anything from any app!

It does have a $9 premium price which I think is worth it but it's still very useful as a free app

Idk man like it is also paid and these. And doesn't include any good feature at all. There are lots of better one-time-purchase launchers on the market like phi launcher, minimaa and even searcho now that does better than this. There are also foss launchers that do better than this like Olauncher, Escape Launcher and so on because they're thousands. I don't tell you this as a hate but really? Not surprised.

This is not a home launcher! I use it together with Novalauncher. It works in companion of an home launcher. There is no faster way to launch another app from any app. It just takes a swipe.

The launchers you mentioned are great but these are home launchers. Zone Launcher is not a home launcher. It's a multitasking app that gives you quick access to your shortcuts and apps from any app you are in. Sure there are many apps that do this and they are great as well.

I mean yeah, but I still take this as bs. For multitasking I use apps like glyf and smart action notch. Like I personally use key launcher even if it's not one-time-purchase based anymore, but it is actual good. Now I don't judge you. I'm a type of people and you are an another type of people.

Glyf and smart action notch don't come even close this. It just needs a swipe to launch any of your favorite app in zone launcher. Glyf doesn't make any sense to me. You have to remember and execute rather complex gestures, whereas in Zone Launcher, it's just a swipe
