Ratings and reviews

I love this launcher: it's minimalistic, it's pretty, and it has helped me drastically reduce my screen time. I just wish it had widgets I could use for reminders, adding an analog clock in place of the digital, and the weather. Although, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a more simplistic homescreen or anyone trying to cut down on screen time.

This launcher has improved the quality of my life. It reduces decision fatigue. It's been my daily driver for over a year. I love the text instead of icons. I can see the background image. For some that want folders just rename the app in the launcher to add some extra search terms. I also love having a hidden drawer i can use to put like junk apps, or ones i don't use much etc. The reversibility makes it easier to decide.

I've been a long time user, and am leaving 5 stars for now due to it working flawlessly until now, but recently the app drawer is completely broken, along with gestures in general. The drawer pseudo-opens, in that there is no visible change, but pressing on the screen where an app should be opens it, though it's a shot in the dark because all I can see is my home screen. Is there any fix for this? Thank you. Edit: It's been some time and still having the same problem :(
