It is one of the best launchers in the play store with more than 250 personalized settings. It is totally free and there will be no ads inside the application. Once you complete the installation, go to app settings and start customizing the app. You can edit the appearance, dock, gestures and much more on your device in the app settings. Also it will create a new lock screen on your device with shortcuts to phone calls, messages and camera. You can access these apps right from your lock screen. It lets you hide apps to protect your privacy and you can choose different themes and wallpapers to customize the home screen.

 iOS 7 Launcher

There are plenty of iOS 7 launchers available in the play store but most of them won’t work properly. Either take too much of internal memory or it will be very slow or freeze at some times. This iOS 7 launcher is fast and very responsive. People who love the new design of iOS 7 can download this launcher. All the common icons between iOS and Android will be changed by default. Also anytime you can return back to your old menu using the home button. To get the same look and feel of iOS, you can download the control center app and iOS 7 lock screen app from the play store.
