Ratings and reviews

while I do wish we could add widgets or even like secondary home pages designed for widgets, I appreciate the simplicity of this launcher, its style, and the parts that can be customized. would love to also see a larger pixel art wallpaper selection, perhaps it could even be a shop in partnership with real pixel artists or something. I'm glad to purchase the premium version and look forward to how this launcher progresses.

I had an issue with the licence and I contacted the developer and he replied within minutes and fixed my issue. The launcher is great and would recommend it to anyone that wants to freshen up there phones UI. This has made my old phone feel like a new phone... thats retro! awesome app development! keep up the good work.

Now hanged on Initial setup of theme. Not moving further.
