John - Launch Manager
"I've installed at least 10 different launchers over the years, hoping that each would do what this one does. It speeds me to the programs and other items I want. It is easy to see and work with finger taps. It looks clean and cool. It installs and runs smoothly without a hitch. Very nice program."

Anonymous - Launch Manager
"Fantastic little application. Unlimited number of thumb-accessible shortcuts at the click of a button. You can even place a shortcut to other pages, making navigation quick and easy. I also love the shortcuts to my favourite contacts. Doesn't take up much memory, and the support is fantastic. I've assigned this app to my right softkey, and one-handed use of my PPC has never been easier! Love it!"
