Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Launch Center Pro is run in the background for just a few seconds when entering or leaving an iBeacon region or geofence. If you use iBeacons or geofences and are concerned about battery life, keep an eye on the new Battery Usage section of the Settings app.
What's New in Version 2.7.1
Due to the shutdown of Parse.com, Launch Center Pro no longer supports direct integration with IFTTT. We apologize for the inconvenience. All data and user accounts will be permanently deleted by Parse as it shuts down the service.
IFTTT now has an iOS app that does much of what was supported in Launch Center Pro. If you need to create more complex workflows with IFTTT, give the Workflow app a try.

IFTTT Support Doesn't Matter
LCP's dropping of IFTTT isn't worth a 1 star review. For those who do not know, IFTTT is now charging companies to integrate with its service. Now granted i don't use IFTTT all that much anymore because I found it slow and unreliable... but I wouldn't expect LCP to pay for this support. And quite honestly, if LCP charged an IAP amount to offset the cost of continued IFTTT integration, then people would complain about having to pay for something and the developer being "money hungry".
LCP is a great app, great features. Great support. Any time I've had a problem support has been timely and instant. This app handles tasks better then Workflow in some cases which another review compared it to for some reason.
Workflow is great in its own right, but it's totally functionally different then LCP. Apples to oranges comparison.
Best in its class !
I am not a high-tech iPhone user, so I was initially reluctant to customize my phone with Launcher, or any other third party app.
I'm so glad I overcame that reluctance, because Launch quickly walked me through the steps necessary to text my wife, send an email to three coworkers, or call our sons, in a single step, by touching a custom icon - generally a picture - right on my home screen!
Apparently there's a lot of power in Launch I'm not using, but it was more than worth the price for my relatively simple needs – because Launch made creating these helpful tools very easy and simplewhile doing so was entirely impossible using Apple's base iOS.
So, Five Stars (!!)
neat!!!
I bought this app along with workflow to see which one i like better. This app does work as expected, but 2 things
first, to send contact a message. what? it won't use the pic from the contact? why not?
second, would be nice to export to the home screen. or export to workflow which can export to home screen. workflow is waaaay too complicated to set up, i like launch center pro because it's much much easier to set up workflows.
thirdly, would like to see this app more accessible. sub folders aren't accessible via voiceover or magnifier, which is very annoying for those of us with visual impairments
