Ratings and reviews

By far my favorite stock Android emulator. I came over from a Pixel to a Samsung Flip 4, now on a 5, and this is what made the experience palatable. Would enthusiastically and unquestionably give this five stars — and even pay for it! — but for one thing: Unfortunately, maybe it's the new phone, or the new Samsung UI, but I find the home screen keeps freezing, to an annoying degree. I have to lock the screen and unlock it to get the launcher to work. Really hope the dev looks into this! Thx!!

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)

This is a very accurate and customizable version of the Pixel launcher, and it is VERY close to the real thing. I use the Pixel 3a but prefer to use this launcher because of the customization. The only issue/bug I've found is that my back button is always visible while in the home screen, even when there is nothing to go back to (on 2-button navigation). Overall, however, this is a FANTASTIC launcher for anyone who wants a Stock Android yet customizable experience.
