Ratings and reviews

Overall, this launcher is quite useful in organizing my home screen and simplifying its appearance. However, there are a few areas where it could be improved. For instance, when I attempt to use the search bar for a Google search, it redirects me to an unrelated app. Additionally, I have encountered instances where my apps have disappeared, necessitating a search for them using a different search bar. While I appreciate the potential of this launcher, I may continue using an alternative option.

Works great even on an older device running Android 9. My main gripe is the search function, it doesn't give very good suggestions. For example if I type "play" it'll show me PayPal and several other unrelated apps instead of the play store or play books. I have to type "Play store" for it to show up, which is frustrating and time consuming. Still it's one of the only launchers that scratch my "Nothing Launcher" itch. Love it and hope it keeps growing in the future!

This Launcher has the best idea for a Minimalist launcher. However, it lacks in some ways. It doesn't have stackable widgets for example. One has to swipe all the way to the top to get to the 9th widget. Icon size can't be resized either. Also, the default widgets on the home screen could be slicker if not adjustable, especially the 'Now Playing' media widget which looks kinda big. As it keeps improving, I'm certain that someday, this will be the best minimalist launcher. Even ahead of Niagara
