A launcher with a lot of included downloads

Go Launcher Z (formerly Go Launcher EX) is a home screen customization app that replaces your stock Android launcher.

What does Go Launcher Z do?

Like all Android launchers, Go Launcher Z essentially changes the look at feel of your home screen, as well as adding new functionality.

There are more than 10,000 personalized themes to choose from in Go Launcher Z, as well as lots of transition effects you can apply to get your home screen looking super slick. Go Launcher Z comes with several widgets such as weather, battery monitor, optimization, clock, calendar, etc.

Requires patience

Installing GO Launcher Z is easy, but the initial launch includes a lot of placeholders for the various widgets and tools that Go Launcher has developed. These widgets do not do anything except link to the Google Play store so you can download them.

If you want to customize GO Launcher Z, you'll be spending a lot of time initially removing all the associated apps that Go Launcher wants to you install.

That said, once it's all set up, GO Launcher Z gives you a smooth ride through your device's home screem. For instance, there's a panel that gives you instant access to frequently-used features, and you have the ability to launch apps using gestures.

Easier alternatives available

There are other launchers that don't include first-party in-app links, such as Nova Launcher or Apex, which are a less-intrusive option for users looking for a similar experience. As a launcher, GO Launcher Z works well, but includes too many 'ads' for its own apps.

    I live in Pretoria, South Africa, where I currently own and manage a digital marketing and design agency with my husband and business partner. I've been working in marketing in one form or another for the past 12 years. I initially worked in IT and project management, handling technical projects throughout SADC. From there, I moved on to work for an IBM subsidiary, handling all partners and marketing events throughout Africa. I was eventually head hunted to work for a local company to head up their marketing department, including all digital, social, print, and events marketing. Despite my full-time employment, I would also participate in several writing projects in my own time, including editing and proofreading novels, writing shorts, poetry, and ebooks, and studying other marketing-related activities, such as Google Ads and tools. Eventually my partner and I started our marketing agency, where we currently support several local and international clients, providing copywriting services, social media management, web design and hosting, and related services. Many of my skills are self-taught or learned through online studies, including design and advertising. The written word has always been a passion. I'm an avid reader of Saul, King, Dan Brown, Pratchett, and Koontz. I also enjoy ancient histories, fables, and mythologies, and WWII documentories.
