Speed up everyday tasks with simple shortcuts. It’s like speed dial for apps.

“Launch Center Pro is an app of verbs. Search. Shoot. Call. Text. Add... With a simple tap-and-slide, you can launch apps, perform actions and more... It's so simple and fast that before long your muscle memory takes over and you don't even have to look. ” —Dave Caolo - TUAW
“Perhaps the highest praise I can give Launch Center Pro is that it finally kicked Safari out of my dock...” —Lex Friedman - Macworld

- Call a loved one - Message a GIF to a friend - Take a photo and message it to a group - Email your boss a report from Dropbox - Quickly search Wikipedia - Scan a barcode and search on Amazon - Jump right to your favorite website - Create a new item in OmniFocus - Search Twitter using Tweetbot - And so much more...

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.

2.9.1
We've reworked a lot of the app and fixed several lingering bugs in preparation for the big 3.0 update we've been working on. We wanted to get this update out now to make sure all the changes we made deep in the code don't cause bugs that would spoil the launch of Launch Center Pro 3.0.

If keyboards in multiple languages are active, there's an option to seamlessly switch back and forth. - Fixed bugs related to case sensitivity and prepend/append in Dropbox actions - In Location Triggers setting a time no longer causes the contents of that row to overflow into the space below - Fixed help view UI on iPhone X - Fixed issue that was causing results to scroll over the search bar when searching for actions in the Action Composer - Additional bug fixes and enhancements

Bogactwo opcji

Ale wszystko nieco toporne. Naczytałem się o tej apce wiele i wiele się po niej spodziewałem, a okazało się, że jest bardzo przeciętna.
To the dev: please improve startup speed - on iP 5s it's not as fast as I wished it was. Plus, there's so way to reset the settings to default - user has to reinstall...
