Sometimes when you have to find a particular application from the drawer of your Smartphone which is full of various different other applications and you keep messing with your Smartphone especially when you’re in hurry, it irritates a lot. Also when you have to find a particular contact from your contact list and when you have to write the whole URL of the particular site you want to visit in your browser or you have to search it on the Google, its total waste of time. So it’s better to have some shortcuts to access any particular application, website or contact directly from your main screen without going through those little but time consuming processes to access them.
Introducing “Gesture Shortcut Launcher”:
No, I am not talking about futuristic hi-fi gesture control gadgets. Gesture Shortcut Launcher is what I’m talking about. This may not be one of the best 6 Android launchers but it does have promises. This application provides you a really effective way to access many things on your Smartphone using shortcuts. It’s already clear from the name of the app that the shortcuts are the “Gesture Shortcuts”. Run applications and other device features like WiFi, Bluetooth etc. by drawing a quick gesture. You don’t have to scroll from the lists and drawer anymore. Just draw a gesture signed for the application you want to run and it’s done.
There are a lot of things to talk about “Gesture Shortcut Launcher”. Like, you don’t have to fill your main screen with your favorite applications to run them directly from there. Just add their widget on the main screen. Every time you want to access any application, contact or anything else, just open the widget and draw the assigned gesture. This easy-to-use gesture shortcut applications works very smooth and quick. It’s a less space consuming and no time lagging app. Other thing to talk about this application is that many other gesture applications have limited the number of gestures in free versions, so you’ll have to buy the pro version of such apps to add more gestures. Oppositely, this app has no limit to number gestures you can add. Add as many as you want.
