There are two ways to get to your apps faster on the new Galaxy S7 smartphones. Users who hate looking through an app drawer will enjoy both of these.
On the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge there is an option to show all apps on the home screen. This essentially turns off the app drawer and puts all your apps on the home screen, similar top the iPhone.
On the Galaxy S7 Edge the edge screen allows fast access to your recent apps so that you don't need to go digging for the app you need access to right now.
