Ratings and reviews

It's a great app, does exactly what it describes and is unobtrusive. I'm knocking off a star because certain basic features (in my case, a weather widget) are locked behind the pro version, which requires a monthly or yearly subscription. I'd happily pay a one time fee for the feature, but the subscription model needs to die.

So far I've used this and Minimalist phone and I've enjoyed the customization this app allows. It still feels like my phone but more minimal. I'm still feeling out the different setting and changes, so I'll update this once I figure everything out. Edit: it's a great launcher. It took some getting used to the different search shortcuts and UI elements, but I really enjoy it. There is enough custamizability to still have my phone feel like my phone and be more minimalist.

I’ve been using this launcher for almost a year now, and it’s the best I’ve tried. It’s incredibly user-friendly, visually stunning, and ad-free! My screen time has dropped significantly thanks to its smart, minimal design. It’s glitch-free and just as fast as my device's original UI. Highly recommended!
