There are many launchers up for grabs on Google Play. For the layman, an app launcher is essentially a replacement homescreen for the factory user interface, offering added customization options. It is normally recommended for everyone to install a functional & good looking launcher on their Android device.
Lucid Launcher is one such Android app that offers a range of customizations such as an integrated browser, quick sidebar & vertical homescreens. The vertical homescreens offer features like subtle swiping, favorites sidebar, fast app search & a built-in browser which can be disregarded if you do not wish to use it.
Lucid Launcher does not have a grid, which means you can place any amount of widgets wherever you wish. This launcher has 3 marked workspaces: an application drawer, home page & the 3rd is Google search. This app offers many configuration options which help to personalize it according to your preferences.
The layouts for a sidebar can be customized by tweaking padding, icon size, background settings & other features. But the alignment of the sidebar cannot be customized, unfortunately. Another drawback is that the icons cannot be dragged between homescreens. But the developer has promised to rectify this limitation. The quick app search lacks a built-in T9 keypad which also counts among the minus points of this app.
Lucid Launcher is a free app & there is a paid version for US $2 which offers earlier updates, more animations, transparent sidebar & custom text to help searches.
In short, Lucid Launcher performs the basic task of a launcher which is to help to users access the needed apps quickly. There is plenty of scope for improvement as the app is young, though it still beats some of the other staid launchers available today.
Lucid Launcher is a product of a developer named powerpoint45 whose other Android apps include “Ping Pong Evolved”,” MOAGOD” & “African Independence Game”.
