Thumb Launcher: How to use your phone with one hand

Every year, smartphones are growing vertically and this makes it even more difficult to use them with one hand. That’s why today we’re going to introduce you to Thumb Launcher. So you can use your phone with one hand, in a more comfortable way. In this post, we will show you how to install it.

What is a Launcher?
As its name indicates, it’s the app that launches the apps we have installed in our device, in the Android mobile operating system there are many Launchers developed by third parties.

Thumb Launcher is designed to be used with only one hand. The interface is comfortable and simple, consisting of three screens, the main screen where you can slide up and down to see your apps in alphabetical order. If you slide to the left you can see a search engine. Also if you slide to the right you’ll see a widget section, plus if you slide from the widget screen again, you’ll be able to access a manager of your notifications.

Installing Thumb Launcher

To download and install it, I recommend the following link from the Google Play Store
