Action Launcher receives a major update with loads of new features

If you're among many of Action Launcher's fans, you'll be happy to learn the Android app has just received a significant update that expands its functionality further through new features and improvements.

First off, developers announced the application's name had been changed from Action Launcher 3 to just Action Launcher. Also, the new name comes along with a new icon that fits better.

A new animating, Android O-style clock icon for the Google Clock app is now available to Action Launcher users. The new clock can be used as a standalone widget as well, as long as your smartphone runs at least Android Lollipop.

Starting with this version of the launcher, all new installs of Action Launcher will use Pixel Launcher style. Additionally, the app benefits from the full integration of Pixel Launcher's UI styling for displaying App Shortcuts.

Moreover, developers have decided to make some premium features available for free. The new launcher should also be less aggressive in prompting users to upgrade to the premium version.

The changelog mentions the update contains lots of polish, which should make the app look and feel like the Pixel Launcher. Numerous memory optimizations have been implemented as well, along with battery usage and scrolling performance enhancements.

Apparently, the update includes a bucket-load of bug fixes and other improvements, so for more in-depth details about the new Action Launcher make sure you check the source link below.
