AppDrawer (MIUI App Drawer)
AppDrawer is a highly customizable app drawer replacement. You can use it as an alternative to your launcher's default app drawer, or to add functionality to launchers that don't currently support the app drawer (like MIUI for example).
You can use with pretty much any launcher, including: your phone's default launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher, LauncherPro, Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher, Launcher 7, MIUI Launcher, and more!
There are similar offerings out there, such as Faster Drawer -
- or Organized Drawer -
- or even Folder Organizer, but nothing comes close to offering the level of personalization that AppDrawer provides. With AppDrawer, you can literally flesh out hundreds of unique designs and layouts using all the different options to your disposal. Some of those options include...

NOTED ISSUES:[•] AppDrawer may be slow to open on certain phone/ROM/launcher combinations. We are working on incorporating a permanent fix, but until then, those who have ROOT ACCESS can manually resolve this issue by moving the AppDrawer APK to /system/apps/ and reboot -
- You can do this manually with file explorer apps like Root Explorer or automatically with Titanium Backup's "Convert To System App" function. Contact us at [email protected] if you are unsure.
[•] The "Multi-Select" --> "Select All" option in List or Paged view modes will force close. We are also working on a fix. Until then, manually check the apps that you want to edit.

Please add a "long tap for settings" option for phones that no longer have the "menu" button on the back bar. I can't access the settings page to change anything at all...its just a list of all my apps in extra large letters. Love the app, don't get me wrong but please add some kind of feature.
I can not find setting of this app and each icon is very large and in list format.there is no option to change.Only one thing is good it is too quick. Quickest then any app drawer in play store. I have checked almost 5-6 good app drawer. Plz let me know there is any other option or fix this or remove this from play store. It's waste of time.
A simple and effective app. Added an icon to my dock. Many options to customize. But after changing any style app goes to default font and icon settings. You need to input values for fonts and icon style again after changing grid or list style. For black screen at startup, you need to lock the process by sliding down the app icon in recent apps. Then after reboot, it doesnt show black screen. And it consumes 45 mb in cached process which is too much for a simple app like this.
Works wonderfully with Action Launcher. Was missing a true simple grid view app drawer and this does the trick. So far no concerns with resources, either. Highly customizable in terms of font and icon size (don't let the giant default settings throw you). No ads, no nagging. Good stuff. As others have said, a keep in memory option would help with lag, but otherwise nice and simple.
Missing is "custom order" in sort and there isn't a way to send apps to home screens by either dragging them there or in the menu when you hold down on the app. There are a few bugs, like when you hold down on the app to get in its menu it also launches and you have to back out of the launch to then get in its menu, sometimes crashes unexpectantly and there's lag when you first click the app. Sort those things out and it will be a 5 star app. It is essential for anybody using a MI launcher on their phone.
I love this app but I don't like that sometimes when returning to it waiting through the black screen with Grey title bar before loading the app drawer. Please update so that the app remains in the systems memory better. I will give you 5 stars because the features of the app are very simple but useful. I don't use any other app drawer.
I download this app to rearrange my app shortcuts soon don't have to move one app at a time so they where in alphabetical order, seems easy....not with this app all I can get it to do is start then you get a long list of all your apps with super size fonts, what is that all about? Totally useless don't waste your data even trying to download it becuase you will be uninstalling quicker than it took to download & I shall. I think from my experience that this app does nothing unless I am missing something. I thought this was an app arranger nope just cr*p!
I expected less from this app but so far, it's working pretty well. It's the only app drawer app that will let me list my apps simply in a list. It does have some bugs when trying to hide apps and then bring them back, so I just gave up on that. It's pretty touch responsive when opening an app, a little less so when uninstalling but I've figure it out. It's you're looking for an app drawer that will list your apps in a vertical format, then this will work for you.
This app is very user friendly but the user has to do some hard work to customize the app for his/her own preferences. In case any problem open settings by holding the tray button and make changes what you want.
The font size is too big that most app names are being cut off from my screen. How do I access the setting to change the fonts size, becoz I can't find it on this app. (note 4).
When I try to open an app from the drawer it simply minimises the AppDrawer window but does not open/launch the selected app. If this issue is not fixed, this app is not useful.
Awesome. Works well with the Evie launcher. If you can't get it to work on s7 long press the back button for the settings options
I can't get it to work on my Samsung Note Pro, and I can't find any email address to ask for help.
Doesn't do anything but gives list of apps in large font. No setting, no change of view. Nothing that too on MIUI launcher. Is this some kind of joke.
Best application but pls improve RAM & Battery consumption. Battery drains at pretty high rate. Fix it and 5 stars confirmed.
App use to load quick, now it takes about three seconds for it to load the app. This should be instant.
all prior icons that were customized change to last app/icon that was customized... i.e. just customized airdroid, prior to this I customized 2 other icons. I now have three apps assigned the airdroid icon
You need to be able to make folders and be able to organize the apps in the orders that I want. No notifications on messages and emails.
This reflects more on the Play Store than the developer. I thought I was getting trolled with this app as it isn't even functional. Then realized it hasn't been updated since 2014. Come on Google.
Highly customizable and works just a normal app drawer if not better. There is a alight lag when open it the first time, after that its all smooth sailing. If you can fix that as well that would be great!
Only scrolling down the apps that's it, and funny to see how big the apps are haha.. no other option to modify anything.. trash
Could never get to the setup menu to customize it. It just stayed on the giant sizes font look all the time. Am totally bummed!
Just the job for any Huawei EMUI users ,now I have an proper app drawer back again prefect.
Is a great app but it can't let me custom organize my app, which is annoying. Also there is a problem with the manage app all I can see is the app icon ,no words is visible. Hope you can fix it.
I would like to see a 'keep in memory' feature. Also please allow multiple columns in list view. I know 2 columns would fit with the settings I've got
Since I tend to be fickle with my launcher choice, this works perfectly as a replacement app drawer when I use launchers that have rather unattractive drawers. My only complaint is that the orange color that highlights the apps when you select them is very outdated. We're up to Android 4.4 and this app still has the color scheme of Android 2.3.
