Lock Launcher already lets you fire up apps right from your Lock Screen, but its Dynamic Island update takes its capabilities even further. Now you can store a goody bag of apps inside the Dynamic Island, and expanding it with a long press lets you launch any of them with just a tap. Instead of scrolling through pages of apps to find the one you need, just store your favorites in the Dynamic Island. It’s like a second, even more expansive Dock in addition to the one your iPhone already has.
