I am going to agree with others about this launcher. It really is the best of its kind! And I make it a point to test out a lot of different customization apps often. But I am also unable to uninstall applications with the long press. When I click on uninstall, nothing happens so I have to go into my settings to delete apps. I also agree with another reviewer that custom icon packs are very needed (would also pay to upgrade if this was added). It's a great launcher otherwise!

My favorite launcher because it's lightweight and fast. Only one problem: it doesn't work with the "clone app" feature in my Alcatel phone. This means I can't open a second instance of, let's say WhatsApp, because the cloned app it's not displayed in the list of all my installed applications. Other launchers work ok with this feature on my phone. I hope this gets sorted out.

Nothing in this app makes me want to keep it.. none of the sorting options for the apps on my phone are overly helpful, and all of the apps are spread across multiple screens. I usually keep my apps off the home screen and keep the home screen for most used apps, ones I need to access easily and app folders, and many launchers do just that, but not this one. It should be called Basic Desktop (Super Simple Launcher).
