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.

This app has transformed my watch. It makes it much easier to organize and access apps than the built-in app drawer. It is not an easy app to use, nor to learn to use, but it is powerful and it works. It is essential to use the extensive instructional videos that come with the cell phone version of the app. Otherwise, I could not have figured out what to do. Use the cell phone version to set up the Bubble Cloud Launcher on your watch. That is much easier than trying to do it on your watch. I just queried the developer about a problem and got a very thorough response overnight. That is an impressive level of customer service.

Thank you for investing your time to figure out my app and helping others. With a few other users we are in the process of designing a setup wizard that will make initial setup easier for first time users. Thank you for the positive feedback and constructive critique! Enjoy the bubble clouds, and feel free to email me with bugs and improvement tips
