Ratings and reviews

The most recent update has impacted the Google Feed. There are times it will not display at all, and when it does, dark mode seems to be broken and most articles are displaying a white lightning bolt icon. I am still able to tap on them and open the article, so it seems to be more visually broken than operationally, aside from the somewhat common failure to load. Both app and Pixel Bridge are updated to the most recent versions. Edit: Fixed! Not sure how, but everything is working great again.

My favorite launcher as I'm not into tons of mindless "bells and whistles". This one is super clean, simple and allows rotation of home screen. But for some reason my Weather Bug widget won't work and upload info to it in this launcher. Also, I prefer the Google search bar at bottom as it is but it would be nice to have the option to eliminate it as that's exactly what I would do, lol.

This app is very close to the stock pixel launcher. There are just a few issues I have. First, the "dark" theme seems to be the same as the transparent. Second, "display Google app" gives "the bridge to connect..." error. Lastly, the "widget" built in on the top links to the calendar appropriately, but does not display the weather. Also, it isn't removable. Awesome job overall imo. Address the "issues" above and definitely worth 5 stars.
