 While the standard "App drawer" is highly customizable, the **App drawer (pager)** widget provides a different structural approach and unique features.

A user may prefer this format for the following reasons:
  
-  ***Paging versus Scrolling:** The fundamental difference is the paginated layout. Instead of a single continuous list, applications are organized across distinct pages that are navigated with a swipe. This can improve organization by allowing users to group apps by category or frequency of use on separate pages.+  ***Paging versus Scrolling:** The fundamental difference is the paginated layout. Instead of a single continuous list, applications are organized across distinct pages that are navigated with a swipe. This can improve organization by allowing users to group apps by category or frequency of use on separate pages. **Quick scrolling** is also offered as in this ++demo|{{:section:section-widget-app_pager-quick_scroll_horiz-v4.gif}} ⇔ {{:section:section-widget-app_pager-quick_scroll_vert-v4.gif}}++ of both vertical //and// horizontal scrolling.
   ***Built-in Search Functionality:** The 'App drawer (pager)' widget includes an integrated app search feature. This provides a significant advantage for users who want to quickly find an application without scrolling through pages or returning to the home screen to use a separate search widget.   ***Built-in Search Functionality:** The 'App drawer (pager)' widget includes an integrated app search feature.

   ***Tagging:** App Group differs from App Drawer in that tagging is //not// available within the drawer since there is no menu system. Tagging can still be done through the App Drawer but cannot be set anew within the App Group. This should not be a significant loss when deciding to use this widget, since the quasi-tag system by group already populates the widget with the desired objects/folders.   ***Tagging:** App Group differs from App Drawer in that tagging is //not// available within the drawer since there is no menu system.

- ***Scrolling:** The layout supports vertical scrolling, which is essential for displaying numerous items. Users can customize the scrolling experience using options such as **system scroll animation**, **snap scroll** (to ensure items settle without being cut off), **hide scrollbar**, and **quick scroll** (see the demo ++here|{{:ui:ui-widget-app_drawer-quick_scroll-video-v4}}. Notably, the App Group currently **does not** support horizontal scrolling (paging) like the specialized App Drawer (pager).+ ***Scrolling:** The layout supports vertical scrolling, which is essential for displaying numerous items.
