Launch Center Pro lets me automate lots of mundane tasks to make them even faster. One Launch Center Pro action I find myself using frequently is searching the App Store. It’s faster and saves me several steps over launching the App Store itself and manually searching for apps.
All you have to do is set up an action for quick access. Here’s how:
- Once you have Launch Center Pro installed, tap on this link to download the action shortcut.
- Follow the prompts to add it to Launch Center Pro.
- Once it’s added to Launch Center Pro, tap on the new Search action that was just added and type name of the app you’re looking for.
- Tap Launch.
You’ll be taken right to App Store search result page for that particular app. Just tap the download or purchase button and you’re done!
This is just one example of the many tasks you can automate with Launch Center Pro. If you’re curious about what else you can automate, Contrast has an entire webpage dedicated to actions.
With the latest version (2.5) you can even add your favorite and most-used actions to the Today View of Notification Center.
We recently covered how to do that:

Give this and a few other actions a try and let me know in the comments what your favorites are!
