LauncherPro Beta: Simply the BEST

For those of you who are frustrated(like I was) with the stock HTC Sense for the Sprint Hero, your days of frustration are over. This beta app is one of the best beta apps if not the best app in the market. It truly takes advantage of Android 2.0 and makes the Hero an iphone killer.

With this app you'll be able to arrange all the apps you want at your fingertips without having to drill down in your applications menu. You can categorize and re-categorize and move your icons to your hearts content. You have seven yes 7 screens to choose from and you can also choose which one is your default. You can get rid of the flip clock, replace it, use it the only limit is your neatness affliction towards your screen.

The standard quick shortcuts at the bottom of the screen can be reconfigured(in the new release, after a lot of user suggestions). The quick shortcuts to home, mail, messages or phone are but a finger click away. Nice!

This app is easy, breezy to use, navigate and just have fun with. The only downside is that there are so much open space you can spend many hours adding, deleting and moving icons much to your significant other's dismay. What a problem to have.
Launcher Pro rocks and only looks to get better as this developer does listen to the users and is quick to update. What a concept, are you listening Apple? Launcher Pro Beta is the epitome of open ended developer capitalizing on a default shortcoming. That being said, be quick to jump on this free app as it surely will be a pay for service app in the future, or should be.
