Very creative way to customize your home screen the way you like. Definitely a bit of a learning curve to get things running right, but thankfully the dev provides informational videos next to nearly all options if not all of them. If you want grids and logical shortcuts you can do it. If you want abstract layouts that constantly evolve based on your usage, you've got that too. Really glad they've put this app together and are constantly maintaining it!

Thank you for the thoughtful review! And thank you for investing the time to discover the possibilities. I keep working on the app, my main aim is to improve usability. Feel free to email me if you find any problems or if you can think of something that could be added to improve the app. Enjoy the bubble clouds :)

By far the best and most comprehensive launcher system out there. It has a metric ton of configurations in just about every way imaginable. You can open it by swiping right/left/upward, create a tile (of either Favorites or a subset of apps you choose), as a watchface, as complications on other watchfaces, or by opening the app directly (which allows you to configure buttons to open it). It also has a website that answers most of your questions that pop up. I've been using it for over a year and I'm still discovering new features and new ways to use the app.

Thank you for such a comprehensive review, and for all your support for this project. Yes, this is a labor of love, you can expect more cool options and features added, as long as the Wear OS community piles me up with ideas :)

This app is pretty incredible. I can't believe the amount of detail that has gone into so many aspects of customization. That said, this app is not for everyone; it takes some time to learn. That said, the developer is amazing in the level of support provided right within the app. Almost any question I could come up with as I set things up was answered by a YouTube video that I could launch right from the place where your question probably came to you (on the phone and on my watch). For example, in figuring out how to customize actions that occur with two taps vs. a long press on a button, there was a YouTube link right next to the option that launched a video explaining and SHOWING how to use the option. Every video has been short, focused, and relatively clear. If you take some time to get to know how the app works and to customize your Wear OS watch in the ways that are possible with this app, you'll get a LOT more out of having a smartwatch to begin with.

Thank you for such a detailed review. I am glad the video documentation has been useful. Recently users requested more written documentation, so with the death of Google+ I have now moved all troubleshooting and feature highlight posts into a dedicated (and searchable!) website with thousands of posts about the app. It might be worth a look too.
