Pro 8 Launcher 4.3
It's a nice launcher that helps users apply a neat launcher on their devices and customize it in various ways. However, the app could use some more tools or features at hand.
Sleek interface with some tools
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, which is quite inconvenient since new users could always find tips quite beneficial. It doesn't have an app drawer, all applications installed on your device are displayed on the home screen and you'll need to simply swipe through them in order to check them out.
You can find some tools under the overflow icon on the bottom of the screen, but don't expect to be able to make lots of changes to the launcher. The app won't import settings and folders that you may have created on your previous launcher.
Customize the app to your liking
It lets you change the wallpaper on the home screen, but don't expect the app to come with too many options. Still, there are some images that you can choose from, but you won't be able to crop pictures before applying them. The lock screen displays the date and time, together with the day of the week on the top of the screen.
It unlocks by sliding the screen right. The home screen resembles that of an iPhone, but it has many more customization options. There's a bar at the bottom of the page, add the apps that you use the most so you would have access to them from any screen.
More features and tools
The app lets you change the date format on the screen, enable the custom status bar and adjust some calendar options. Other than that, it comes with an animation effect that you can change and the option to enable the notification toggle.
There, you'll have access to all sort of functions like WiFi, Data, Torch and you can even boost your phone and check battery levels. Other than that you can enable pin lock to keep your phone protected or disable the lock sound and vibrate. All in all, it's a nice and simplistic app but it's not as complex as you'd expect.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is nice, with some features under the settings menu but it could use some themes to choose from. |
Function8
It works just fine, but it needs more tools and effects that you could apply on your screen. |
Security6
It needs lots of permissions from your phone, including to areas that aren't connected to its features. |
Battery6
Consumption is a bit high, so keep an eye on resources when using this app. |
Price8
It doesn't have any in-app purchases, but it does have a few sections that recommends users some other applications that they could install. |
Compatibility8
The app should work on devices running Android version 3.0 or later, making the app available to many users. |
It's a nice launcher but it could use some more features.
