Launch Center Pro hit the App Store last summer to rave reviews. The app, which is created by the folks at Contrast [1] , allows users to setup shortcuts for performing iOS actions like launching apps, sending messages and more.
Today, Contrast posted a significant update for the app, bringing it to version 2.0. The update brings about a number of new features and improvements, including a new iOS 7-inspired design, Dropbox support, and more…
Here’s the full Launch Center Pro 2.0 change log:
User Interface
- New icon and UI designed for iOS 7
- New themes available in settings
- New action icon styles and colors
- New group glyphs
- Ability to use photos as icons
- Ability to use web clips as icons
- Prompt labelsFeatures
- Dropbox backup and restore
- Dropbox actions
- Action sharing and import
- Support for multiple prompts in a single action
- Externally launch actions (launchpro://?url=)
- Support for native Facebook and Sina Weibo actions
- Support section added to settingsEnhancements
- Expanded x-callback support
- Expanded actions
- Phonetic contact search
- Optimized Action Composer for iOS 7
- Updated TextExpander for iOS 7 compatibility
- New tutorial video
- Additional enhancements and bug fixesÂ
Out of all of these enhancements, I think Dropbox support takes the cake. You can now do things like upload the last photo taken within Launch Center, copy a file to your clipboard, and of course backup and restore app data.
I’m also really digging the new design. I know a lot of folks think iOS 7-designed apps all look alike, but I think Launch Center Pro 2 looks much better than its predecessorâ€"more like an actual utility, rather than a child’s app.
If you’re interested, you can find the latest version of Launch Center Pro for the iPhone, in the App Store for $4.99 [2] . The update is free for existing users, and Contrast says that it also has an iPad version of the app in the works.
