Ratings and reviews

I installed this on my Non-Android TV Box. Overall it works great. The problems I have is I cannot update/change icons. Just like a previous reviewer wrote it is BLANK, and there is no way to choose Icons. The other problem is when I create a shortcut, I cannot move it to any other sections. The shortcut will be placed in the Applications section and you can only MOVE it within the Applications section. It appears the developers have given up on this app. The last reply to any review was APRIL 2019...and It doesn't appear they are interested in updating this app.

Bought the pro version & started having issue that never appeared in the "free" version. The biggest annoying problem is when going back to the home screen, the tiles will disappear. Sometimes the names will still show, some will be blank areas. After restarting the app, the tiles will show, but you cannot select any of the tiles, the screen is frozen. You have to do a full boot to get out back working. They need to fix this, & it's too late to get a refund. Hopefully the developers read these.

This is literally the ONLY decent looking and feature equipped TV launcher out there, if you're looking for an alternative to Google's Android TV launcher, I am so grateful that these fine developers have put their time into making this. Seriously, every other launcher is either abandoned halfway through development, or just plain ugly. These guys took a few clues from Apple, and understand that simplicity is good! But there are also MANY customization options for each application icon that I haven't seen on ANY competing launcher. And it's all very VERY intuitive, and useable with d-pad remote controls, or kb/mouse. Anyway, I really hope these awesome canadians keep updating this (they have every month or so thus far) because I can't say enough good about it.
