FAST App Search Tool
Just type in a fraction of the name of the App you want to launch
- most of the time 3 chars are enough.
If you have an Device with Jelly-Bean or newer you can use the Google Now gesture to open this app.
The app is smaller than 70kb
FAST is an recursive acronym for FAST App Search Tool
You can choose between 3 Themes: #1 dark #2 light #3 transparent ( try this with some Live Wallpaper :)
A single click launches the App
- a long click gives you 3 Options: #1 Go to the App details #2 Open the App in Google Play #3 Open the App as a Notification for FAST access at a later time
The App is GPLv3
- you can find the source on GitHub: https://github.com/ligi/FAST

Thx ligi, I use it every day! Really useful, thx! With the add more label feature i create more icon for the most used apps to easy find. Its so interesting, when i use it as my home page, and also have another fast app search tool on it! Somehow once i wanted to duplicate that fast app icon in the main fast app page, that i use for make two categories, but somehow there created abaut 20 fast app logo when i just want to duplicate it. :D But this small bug just happend once and actually was fun.
Good App. I really enjoy using it. How about an update please? There is a need for extra app sizes. Also need some more sorting options, ie another page to sort by type, SMS another with favourites, etc. Let's talk please.
The fastest tool of you have several hundreds of apps, and need to search by package, app, etc. name, with partial matching. If it doesn't work, just make sure to clear cache because it may not pick up recent app installs or updates
very nice one but i needed the search box to appear at the bottom , there is no option to customise thst unfortunately. pls look into the possibility and incsn keep this. else this is of no use to me on OnePlus 7 which comes with a search in app drawer already
very good! i like it a lot! fast, good overview, no bugs yet detected! a few more options for app sort would be great like recent and recent plus usage. and more options for icon display... great app, thanks a lot!
Great for the fold 2 as the samsung ui keeps app search at top in app drawer and you cant use custom launchers properly with the dual screens. Thank you!
It,s very Usefull !!! When my phone is error , i can't see app . But i can see playstore . I download this then set the theme as default. I can see all my app. Thank You FAST App Search Tool
Wonderful for finding the app I want. Is it possible to include lite apps as well? I used to save a lot of websites directly to my screen and find it to be so helpful. Now I use the Hermit app to make lite apps and that's even better. It would be wonderful if all apps came up in a search. Thanks!
great app faster to search your apps in case you have more than 60 of them installed like me . you need to wait for some while when you install a new app as fastapp won't be able to index it immediately.
Works well. I don't use it much, but when some app has an odd visible name it helps that this searches the com. names as well.
I disliked it because normal phone use is not anymore as easy. But if u are frustrated with million of icon this sollution might work for you.
Super light, no permissions, no nonsense. 50kb (0.05MB) app with no permissions... This is superb in this age.
Best ever designed app to search for apps especially in MIUI since it doesn't come with a search option
Very helpful quick search for finding that one certain app on a crowded device. Great! 5 stars
simplicity is the king 👑. It's fast and reliable. no ads
amazing. this app does not need any permission. works flawlessly.. awesome...
Super fast, no adds and advanced search settings
Excellent app. Good sittings for search. Thanks a lot!
Awesome app but please add T9 mode also. Thanks.
Super cool for quick anywhere home button searches
Pretty good, but cannot locate the app's icon
Simple and the job well.
This is a piece of work, not good! Not a help!
spam it lets you search apps but it removes your home screen
Search TO find out more about applications store in my place for the other one of my favorite part time job and projects in the world of my life is that you can use to do it on the same
this is awesome app ..i like this app very very much ..nice nice features
simply useful; thumbs up!
Instead of app want widget
too hard to use
Great app. Super fast. If there are ads I don't even notice them. But no updates since 2017? I love the option to change app name and make it searchable. (I don't know why apart from daftness, but some app names don't match Play Store listings. Tracfone app is called 'My Account.'). You can set preferences to search package names as well as bring up the App Info tab with a long press. I have 5 Android devices and this app is always the first I install.
