App Bar Widget

About App Bar Widget Android App

App Bar Widget is a resizable home screen widget that displays a scrolling list of app shortcut icons. You select the apps that are shown and the order that they are displayed in. You can also choose to use normal sized or larger icons and whether or not scrollbars are displayed. App Bar Widget can be resized vertically as much as your device's home screen will allow.

App Bar Widget allows you to fit more icons on a home screen without burying them in a folder.

The App Bar Widget settings screen allows app selection and ordering on one screen. Tap apps to move them between the all apps and selected apps lists. Swipe apps in the right hand selected apps list left to move them up or right to move them down.

This free version of App Bar Widget allows a single widget to be used and contains a single banner ad at the bottom of the settings screen. The Pro version, available from the Play Store, has no restrictions or ads.

Internet permissions are required for the single AdMob banner ad on the settings screen.
