APUS - what is it? Simple, easy and minimalistic launcher for "Android"

More recently, a very interesting application called APUS appeared in the Google Play store. What it is, many Android device owners guess. But not all are aware of the true purpose and some features of the program. Let's try to fill this gap.

APUS: what is it?

First, look at the full name of the application. APUS Launcher speaks for itself: it is a launcher program that replaces the standard interface of Android-systems.

But not everyone clearly understands that this is not only the usual "beautification" of the graphical shell, although the possibilities here are much greater than in the usual system, but also a means of ordering, if you want, cataloging applications for quick and easy access to them . In addition, in the APUS launcher on "Android" you can use several additional elements to customize the system, and, what is most remarkable, the program has a unique search engine that delivers the most popular Internet requests in real time. And if you take into account also serious enough optimization functions, this program can be considered an "all-in-one" category. A little later, all modules of the application will be examined.

History of development

The very development of APUS application is dated first publication of the link to the program in the Google Play market, which took place on July 2, 2014. The developer was the corporation APUS Group, while engaged in the optimization of the Android OS, which was too slow and had a completely unchanged interface.

To date, the number of application users around the world has exceeded 250 million. So how to designate the launcher APUS? What it is? But this: this is a comprehensive management tool for the Android OS, combining personalization, fast and quality care for the system with many features and interesting features.

APUS Launcher: advantages over "clean" Android-systems and similar programs

We have already mentioned that the standard Android shell does not cause much enthusiasm among many users, since it can not be radically changed. For this, there is simply no opportunity, no tools.

Access to the settings of the "clean" system, full care in terms of freeing RAM, space on the SD card or internal drive, too, are far from perfect. Therefore, most owners of mobile devices and install additional applications, optimizers. The same goes for the improvement of design. It turns out that for both, and for the other two different programs are used. The problem of combining was solved by the utility APUS. What it is, can be seen right after installation. Now we will find out.

First look at the interface

So, the program is downloaded and installed. As you can see, APUS is installed for free. This to some extent also caused the popularity of the launcher, especially if we take into account the incredible opportunities offered to them. Usually programs of this level are quite expensive. In our case, the opposite is true.

But let's look at the graphical shell. It looks clearly airy thanks to carefully selected themes, wallpapers and icons. Icons are just translucent, which only adds lightness to the working area of the screen. The icons are made in the form of squares with rounded corners, which also can not but please the eye.

From above you can see a barely noticeable, almost intangible, search line that runs through all the "Workshops" while turning over. If you look closely, you can see a running line with popular requests, behind which fly balloons. The organization of the search is very interesting. It can choose four main systems, in which it will be produced online with the delivery of results in real time (APUS by default, Google, Bing and Yahoo). If someone does not need this feature, you can turn it off completely.

Organization of applications and files

As for the organization of applications and widgets in the APUS app, user reviews say only that the menu has become very convenient.

This is achieved through the use of smart folder technology, which is that the launcher automatically determines the type of application or user files and then sorts them into categories (games, tools, media, news, communication, etc.) Such an association In groups can significantly save time in finding the right application or file, which is an undoubted plus.

In the design of icons and the workspace itself, you can use a unique function that allows you to blur the background image, and the icons themselves to detail, so that they do not merge with the wallpaper.

Advanced settings and items

Finally, let's look at some additional features. In the interface, you can see that there are not three but four system buttons on the bottom. The button with three dots created by the buttonchanger opens an additional panel in which you can make the transition to some functions (system setup, sending feedback, etc.). Similarly, when the top panel is expanded, the user can access quick screen settings, ring and ring tone modes, system settings, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and data transfer. There is even a flashlight!

As for optimization, personalization and other interesting opportunities, we can distinguish the following:

• APUS Booster - accelerator based on unloading unused applications from memory and optimization of disk space, sometimes reaching 80%.
• APUS Headlines - quick access to "hot" news, fully customizable depending on the user's preferences.
• APUS Discovery is a unique search system for the most popular applications.
• APUS Know - a system for providing information on traffic, traffic, traffic jams, etc.
• APUS "Personalization" - a set of themes, wallpapers and widgets.
• Function "Charge +" - control of the battery.
• The counter of unread messages for Facebook, Wechat, WhatsApp, etc. (APUS Message Center support is required for correct operation).

How to uninstall

How to remove APUS? In the simplest version, you can do this from the standard menu by pulling the program icon down or up the screen until "Trash" appears. It's also easy to uninstall the program in the applications section of the main settings menu of the Andriod system itself.

How to remove APUS in another way? You can use utilities like CCleaner, if any. In any such applet, there is a special section called the application manager, where complete uninstall is performed. In general, there should not be any problems here.

Conclusion

That's all, as for the launcher APUS. What it is, probably, many have already understood. However, it should be added that it is only possible to evaluate all the advantages of this program and the opportunities that it offers Android-device users in action. Not for nothing that this application is in the lead among all similar. And, I must say, there are good reasons for that.
