Now tap on the apps you wish to appear at your notification panel, you can select as many as you want since the app has no limit. Once you select an app, the list will disappear and the app will show up on the bar launcher main screen. Repeat the process to add more apps.
Also bar launcher allows you to replace or undo any app. Thus if you add a wrong app by accident, you can easily tap on the app to replace it with another one or swipe the app to the left or the right in the configuration app to delete it from the notification, and if you change your mind, just undo the action.
Once youve added all your favorite apps, you can also rearrange them. By default, the app at the top will be the first to show on your notification panel and the one at the bottom will be the last. To do this, simply tap and hold over one of the apps, and then drag, to change its position.
Now in order to make all the favorite apps you added on the list to show in your notification panel, you need to toggle the "OFF" button at the top right corner of bar launcher in order to activate your favorite apps on the notification panel.
Now to check if your favorite apps has been shshown on your notification panel, just drag the notification panel down and see them smiling at you peacefully.
Bar launcher also allows you to add multiple rows of apps, so you can add over 5 apps at once or simply organize your apps into sections. To do this, tap on the three dotted line on the top right corner of bar launcher and select "Add row". Now just add new apps like you did earlier on, you can see all current app by sliding from the left.

Now you will be presented with three option to tinker with. The icon option allows you to show or hide the bar launcher icon from the status bar when when enabled. So I suggest you untick it.
The priority option on the other hand prevents bar launcher from been at the second line at your notification panel. By default its in " Normal Priority"so you can set it to "Maximum Priority" in other to make it show first at the notification panel.
The “Arrow color” option allows you to change the color of the arrows used to switch rows on the notification panel, so you can leave it to "White" by default or change it to "black" by custom.
