Ratings and reviews

(Edit: they've put up a more consistent genre of background photos recently, all geared towards nature/historic landmarks in nature. I love that.) Love it. It's so simple and free and immediately turned my phone minimalistic. Very easy to use and customize. My only wish would that, with their random selection of background photos (which is optional) I'd be able to pick the genre or style of photos I wanted. One day I have the Eiffel tower, the next a forest, so it can be a bit confusing.

It's a pretty great launcher, very minimalist. Makes me think a bit more about what app I want to use. I just wish it had a weather display built in. I like that there's no dada collection involved and no ads.

I'm generally not one to write reviews, but for this, I will make an exception. If you have ADHD - you need this launcher. It's ability to cut out the noise from my phone has been invaluable - I do not say this lightly - it is life changing. I have reclaimed so much of my time due in part to this launcher (along with a few other UI changes you can make on pixel phones.) The fact this is free speaks volumes of the devs behind it. Thank you Olauncher. Truly.
