Description
Swirl Launcher makes it fun to browse and launch the apps on your mobile device.It displays supersized icons and large app labels on a smartphone or tablet.
A dynamic wheel swirls every app into an area where you can easily see and touch it.
Here’s how to Swirl on a touch screen:
* Watch the swirling apps
* Tap an app to launch
* Use the Back Button to return to the Swirl
* Swipe a curve on the Swirl to turn it to a new angle
* Fling the Swirl to send it swirling again
* Use the Back Button to dismiss the Swirl itself
Better not try and hit a fast moving app:
* Rather stop, place & tap:
(stop) touch-and-hold to stop the swirling
(place) swipe a curve to place the target well
(tap) lift, then tap the target
* A fast moving app will stop swirling instead of launch when tapped
The leaf-shaped widget on the lower right of the screen can also be used to control the rotation rate. Touch down on it, and slide up or down to change or reverse the current rotation rate. On lift, the swirling continues.
The app icons expand as they approach the focus area at the top of the screen and shrink again when receding from it. The name of the app currently in focus is shown lower down at the centre of the Swirl. New apps enter the Swirl discreetly at the bottom. Once every app has passed through focus, the Swirl repeats.
Please rate the Swirl Launcher on Google Play once you have tried it. We also welcome your comments.
Suggestions for new features will be added to the Launcher wish list and carefully considered for inclusion. Due to our preference for simplicity, we do not guarantee that any particular feature request will be implemented. Bug fixes will be prioritized.
Advanced Swirl interaction hints:
* Curved swiping can be extended to cover multiple rotations around the centre of the Swirl.
* When swirling really fast, look at the smaller icons to anticipate the opportunity to grab an app.
Known issues:
* Swirl has been developed primarily for the tiny screens of smartwatches. Full screen use on a tablet may be unsatisfactory.
* Swirl's magnification may result in pixelization of some icons, if they are not in scalable graphic format. The publisher of an app controls the format.
Patents have been issued on aspects of Swirl interaction, e.g. US 10,877,627 B2.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
