Ratings and reviews

Clean, responsive, and unintrusive UI that hasn't failed or bugged out a single time for me as of yet. This launcher is perfect for minimizing my youtube and social media "cravings." The only thing I would hope for is a future functionality that alters the appearance of the "recent apps" tab on samsung (the button with 3 lines at the bottom left of the phone) as it is still retains it's colorful app icons and app windows, just like the base launcher.

This launcher is where it's at! After reluctantly having to ditch my longtime launcher due to weird glitches on my new phone, I tried a handful of options. They all were meh at best. I wasn't sure how this one would feel, but after a day or two, I was in love! The simplicity, the feel, the beautiful wallpapers, the quick search... I love it all. My phone is now a tool instead of a distraction. Thank you!!!

Blocking Android Auto use is a non starter for me. Too bad - I liked the app. But having to shuffle back and forth every time I get in my car keeps me from using it. Update: thanks for the response. Unless I'm missing something - the Olauncher interface doesn't work with the default launcher selected. So if I want to use Android Auto, I cannot use the interface
