Ratings and reviews

Taking away a star because of a simple issue that's driving me crazy: if you set the desktop layout to dimensions that aren't 1:1 (i.e trying to set it to 6x5) it will later set itself to a 1:1 ratio (5x5 or 6x6). Please fix it, it's really annoying. Other than that, great launcher! It works well and has very good customizability. One feature that would also be nice is a "pull-up" dock like in the Microsoft launcher (instead of 2 rows showing at all times, it shows 1 and you swipe up for more)

To the devs: To make this launcher perfect, please add the ability to adjust the scroll/swipe speed/acceleration on the home screen and any menu if possible. Stock andriod 10 feels a bit sluggish compared to other older versions... I would pay to have this feature added. To everyone else: it's super stable, allows for a lot of nuanced changes that transform your experience. 99% perfect

This app is really good. Performance isn't regular across devices especially when dragging and dropping. On some devices, you'd have to force stop the app before you can drag and drop anything. The most annoying one for me is that, weather display (at a glance) doesn't decently update itself or update itself at all. And it regularly disappears. I'd have to change the weather source to something else then back to AccuWeather before it reappears. I'm using Android Pie (go edition)
