Ratings and reviews

Z launcher was my all time favorite launcher for the scribble search and usage-based app presentation, so I'd been dutifully installing it from repositories ever since it was abandoned. ReZ is exactly what I'd hoped Z would be by now if it were still in development. Much to my surprise, ReZ is even better than the original (I prefer the app tray and the second page for widgets). Thank you for creating this!

I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban! Used it as main launcher for a couple of days, but the main problem is complexity. Traditional Z launcher was rather primitive and it was AWESOME. I think that main thing that users need is lightweight and super responsive launcher.

Wonderful to see that ReZ brings the usage experience of the Z-launcher back to us. It works like a charm, and can do more (like the list of work apps). I am 😊
