The Action Launcher for Android has seen numerous versions and updates already since the first one was released and welcomed into the world of launchers more than two years ago. Action Launcher by developer Chris Lacy is one of the more popular app launchers on mobile that’s been receiving a lot of updates from allowing “OK Google” to a Quicktheme, and Quickbar feature among others.
Chris Lacy usually posts a long list of new goodies on every app update and today is no different. A number of stability and bug fixes are included. While on Battery Saver mode, the app now behaves correctly and without any other problem.
As for app improvements, users who are familiar with the Action Launcher will notice that ‘All Apps’ now defaults to a vertical grid with Quickfind. Quickbar also now features Google logo by default and you can now use applicable icon pack shaders.
