I love the app

Super app ever

Felton Greene

JUST AWESOME

Francisco Rafael Cervantes Del Valle

It's a great and easy to use app. However I dislike the add notifications I keep getting because they are only about sports and I just don't care about sports. If you can let us choose what adds we can get, please let us do it. Thank you!

Revathi Naadimuthu

Edit on 5/8/17 - can set my own wallpaper now! I really like the concept but I wish the side tabs would open up the actual native app, not Starter's own version of the app. For instance, gmail is not the native gmail app but their own version of it. Same thing with Facebook. I would also like to be able to set whatever app is like as a side tab. Original review: Not allowing me to set my own photo as a wallpaper. Just shows up as gray. Uninstalling... Will update review if fixed. On Galaxy s7 edge.

I can understand needing revenue, but there's too many ads, and no way to disable them even by a purchase

Steven Dino Windfeld April 12, 2017

Choosing apps for categories is terrible, for instance, the filters filters out most camera apps and scanning apps, not even ScanBot nor Office Lens can be chosen. Fix your filters or remove them, they make your app terrible

Meraz Technology April 10, 2017

Need some improvements. Some times when I look the screen and try to open it it doesn't open. I need to click power button multiple times

Celltick April 12, 2017

Hey Meraz, You seem to be using an older version. Please upgrade to our latest version to check that that problem doesn't persist. If it does, you are welcome to disable the application from Start's settings. Thanks, The Start team

TheHumanNacho April 18, 2017

I manually disabled every news widget, yet the app continues to pull 5MB per day from my data plan. What the heck!

Can't have a lockscreen after another ..

Celltick April 12, 2017

Hola Alvaro, Sólo Ve a la configuración de tu teléfono (desliza a la izquierda) y elegí la opción “ninguno” en la configuración de la “pantalla de bloqueo”. La opción “bloqueo” te permite tres niveles diferentes de seguridad. Selecciona el que te gustaría y luego sigue las instrucciones para establecer la seguridad. -The Start Team

R Schoeman April 1, 2017

I would give this app 5 stars, except that it has decided NOT TO ALLOW ME to take Huffington Post off of the lock screen. I do not appreciate the attempt at brainwashing, or forced conversion, or whatever. How much do they pay you for that? Or do the app developers do that in a zeal for leftist evangelization? In any case, extremely offensive! Drop it, and I would change this to 5 stars.

Celltick April 3, 2017

Hey there! Thanks for contacting our support team. We were able to find what the issue was thanks to your feedback, and we have fixed the problem! Please try it out by disabling the starter again and restarting your phone. We would really appreciate it if you could let us know if this worked out! Thanks and sorry for the troubles, The Start team

Jart A April 1, 2017

Please make it STOP resetting the starters after I turn them off. I mean.. Huffington post.. Really? Ignoring my turn off of this doesn't make me want to read it more - it's annoying. Don't let your app annoy it's users. There's too many others.

Celltick April 2, 2017

Hey Jart! Thanks for contacting our support team. We were able to check what the issue was thanks to your feedback and we have fixed the problem!

John M. Fritsch March 28, 2017

I am trying to figure out how to select a weather widget and also how to create my own theme. I've tried several times and I'm just not finding it. So far, the app is pretty nice but these two questions I have are keeping me from fully utilizing the app.

Celltick March 28, 2017

Hi John! You should click the (+) button !! There you will see which widgets are available for your device. Thanks, The Start team

Daniel Matsuyama April 2, 2017

While the starters on the side are a nice idea, I've found that every day it resets back to the starters THEY want you to have. I'm constantly having to remove them from the side of screen to clean it up only to have them pop back up the next day.

Celltick April 2, 2017

Hi Daniel, Thanks for contacting our support team. We were able to check what the issue was thanks to your feedback and we have fixed the problem!

Thanks and sorry for the troubles, The Start team

Cody Wooten March 29, 2017

I really have enjoyed this for a while, but recently it has been forcing me to use certain setup starters which I do not want to see. I keep unselecting them, and the app forces it back later. I'm tired off changing it over and over because what is forcing me to see is trash and click bait that I don't want in my life. Five stars if this changes.

Celltick March 29, 2017

Hi Cody, We appreciate you reaching out to our support team. In order for us to further assist you, please shoot us an email at start-support@celltick.com with details on the exact starters that keep returning. Thanks, The Start team

Chris DeVries April 2, 2017

Like it, except Huffington Post starter icon won't stay turned off. Irritating, because I do not use or want this.

Celltick April 2, 2017

Hey Chris! Thanks for contacting our support team. We were able to check what the issue was thanks to your feedback and we have fixed the problem!

It locks up my phone all the time. My phone since the last 2 updates crashes 4 or 5 times a day.

Celltick March 26, 2017

Hi Diane, Thanks for contacting our support team! Please be aware you are using an old version of Start. You are able to download the new version with fixed features by scrolling up this review screen and clicking upgrade. Goodluck! The Start team
