The Smart Launcher home screen launcher, created by Ph. Jack Wallen/ZDNET, provides an interface that closely mimics the look and feel of the iOS home screen used on Apple devices. This free application includes advertisements, but they are said to be less disruptive than those found in other launchers. Some users may see ads when opening the settings page, though their appearance is described as random and they can be easily dismissed by swiping them away. The launcher was tested by the author after trying nine different options, with Smart Launcher 6 being found to be the most similar to the iOS aesthetic. The free version includes ads, but a paid Pro version is available for purchase. This Pro version removes the advertisements and adds features like smart widgets, a blur effect, a 3D perspective wallpaper, a license that works across multiple devices, an ultra-immersive mode, folders on the app page, contextual widgets, and more. The Pro version can be bought through an in-app purchase, with options for monthly, annual, or lifetime subscriptions. Smart Launcher includes a hideable dock that can be activated through the settings page. This dock can be shown or hidden by double-tapping the screen, allowing users to free up space for widgets or access the dock when needed. The launcher also includes swipe gestures that let users display a news feed or access a blank page for adding widgets and shortcuts. The free version of Smart Launcher comes with two predefined themes: "Ambient" and "Material You." The Pro version adds more themes, such as "Opaque Glass," "Matte Glass," and "Liquid Glass." The launcher is designed for users who want their Android devices to look more like an iPhone while still retaining the features and flexibility that Android devices are known for.
