★★★★★ Erik — App Store
“AppGrid has restored the convenience that I lost by upgrading to macOS Tahoe and I highly recommend this app to anyone that misses Launchpad. 10 stars!”
★★★★★ Gianni — App Store
“With over 200 Apps on my mac, this is INCREDIBLE and works flawlessly! I have been using this developer’s Launchpad app since maybe 2014. The Developer wrote a new app — AppGrid. Once I saw the email, I upgraded immediately. Top Notch and would buy again in a second.”
★★★★★ Colin Oatley — App Store
“I’m absolutely thrilled with this app! It works reliably, is thoughtfully designed, and offers exactly what I was looking for. I especially want to highlight the developer: responses come extremely quickly and are helpful — this is how support should be! One of the best investments in the App Store. A clear purchase recommendation!”
★★★★★ Kevin3210 — App Store
“Excellent Replacement for Launchpad! This app provides an interface very similar to Apple’s late, lamented Launchpad app. I was really pleased to find that it is able to import my Launchpad app groupings, so I can pick up where I left off.”
★★★★★ App Store user
“Perfect for a digital hoarder! Simple to use and importing my prior setup was quick and easy. A must have for people who hoard apps and like to have them organized in folders — which is not an option with vanilla macOS!”
