Ratings and reviews

From 5 stars to 3.5 - I loved this launcher years ago. I got the premium version and love my setup with covers and folders. At some point though my backed up settings got messed up and many things would change to "name_not_found" and I couldn't find a way to fix it other than starting from scratch. Now for the past year my home screen freezes and I have to fight to get to "restart app" and then the issue is resolved... but I'm ready to switch. Happens 1 to 10 times a day.

My favorite launcher for a long time now, but all of a sudden widgets no longer work and the home screen is often buggy. The widgets I previously had are gone and as soon as I drag a new one to the home screen, it disappears. Folders, whether they have a cover or not, stop working at least once a day and the app has to be force stopped and reopened to work again.

I purchased this launcher several years ago and it was awesome. Fast forward to 2022...setting this to the default launcher works once then it will ask me every other day to set it as default again. Everything in settings is working but super slow and many times it entire app crashes! Not sure what is happening but the developers need to work on it. It getting more and more unreliable. 2025 update. I can no longer add widgets to new homescreen. Drag and drop option no longer works!
