Launch Center Pro review

Launch Center Pro lets you create custom processes and actions on your iPhone or iPad that can save you lots of time and keystrokes in the long run.

Pros

Lots of options: With Launch Center Pro, you can set up an action that automatically posts items to Facebook for you, or you can create a group to facilitate sending emails or messages to a specific set of people. You can also initiate a Wikipedia search or open a bookmarked page with just a tap and drag, and much more.

Good tutorial: Launch Center Pro provides you with a brief walkthrough of all the program has to offer upon launching it. There are also more detailed tutorial videos and documents available through the Help option in the Settings menu.

Cons

Setup time: Before you can really use Launch Center Pro to its full potential, you will have to take some time to set it up and customize it to suit your needs. Getting the hang of the navigation can be a bit tricky as well, but once you have it down, it will make a lot of things much easier for you.

Choppy display: During testing, Launch Center Pro's main screen did not always display correctly. It features a grid with options that you can hold down to access an underlying grid of more specific items. The icons did not always line up on the grid correctly, which makes it quite difficult to figure out what was there and where to press.

Bottom Line

Launch Center Pro provides great functionality that you can take advantage of to streamline many processes you complete every day. It's not without bugs, and it does take some time to set up. But once you get the hang of using it, you may wonder how you ever did without it.
