Wonderful. One way to think of it is that you have a list of all the swipes and button push combos, more than you can think of ... and then you have a list of all the possible programs and DAs and system actions possible ... and this lets you connect one with the other. You have nearly -complete- control of your Palm, configured just the way you want. One reviewer mentioned wanting Go-to-top and Go-to-bottom. My copy of Easylaunch 0.16 does these, as well as Go-to-begin-of-line and Go-to-end-of-line. Make sure you explore the lists when you get it!

Without a doubt, my MOST used app!! I use it in concert with "MegaWiki" and "TealAlias". Just "stroke" from "home" to "display-right" for instance to call up whatever app or function that you have chosen to assign to that stroke or tap. I too am switching to OS5 soon and my main concern is, "What am I going to do if I can't use easylaunch anymore?!"

After switching to OS5 this is the hack I miss the most. I found a $14.95 replacement called QLaunch which is very similar. I am still waiting for EasyLaunch to be ported, though.

Best hack ever by far. I used it a long time on me Handera330. Now, I got a Sony TJ25 from my company. Any way to create an EasyLaunch for OS 5? There is nothing more helpful than EasyLaunch, I'd just love to get it back!

Excellent program. Saving me lot of time as I have to access different software repeatedly. Works great on my CLIE NR70. Use it all the time and in fraction of a second switch between different progarams

I've used this before on my 6035 smartphone and it worked great (5 star). I can't get it to work properly with my Treo 300. Having problems getting the Treo 300 to recognize basic functions like "press and hold". Any help out there? As far as the program itself, it is great!

I have been using it for along long time. Just the best DA launcher around. Wish it would also do "Got to top" or "Got to bottom" as added features. Keep up the excellent work!!!

Excellent! I've been using this program for a long time now and it is extremely useful. Starting up the various applications on my Palm IIIxe is sooooo convenient with EasyLaunch! Simply superb!

This is the best utility software for the palm... I used it for a long time... and now I have the best palm out there, a Tungsten C, and hacks are no longer supported. Any way to create an Easy Launch that works with System 5?

This program works fine on my m100. Can open programs with a single stroke of the stylus. Very good!
***** [Aug 27, 2001] by AustraliaCroc
The most important program you need for your Palm. Especially makes carrying out "copy","paste", "select all","power off" "show private records", "previous records", "page up", "page down" more efficient, but also launching programs is faster. The finest hack available without exception

Keep up the good work. Great app. Good support. Use it daily. Thanks!

This application is the reason that I got X-Master in the first place. I have over 6 MB in use on my Palm IIIxe mostly in applications. EasyLaunch allows me to swich between the ones that I use most with one action rather than going to applications and searching through catagories etc. Well done.

Good job! Useful and fun. Recommend you try it.
**** [Apr 5, 2001] by rocephin
This is a fantastic program. Now I can launch my apps without using my stylus. One gripe though... if u execute the same stylus stroke twice, it will crash your palm. Other than that, no complains.

Great hack! Makes finding things so much easier. Very useful... and that's something that's beginning to be hard to find.
