it's good but it lacks some customization features. A, I wish I could put the clock wherever. typically it sits way too high or way too low and I feel like I should be able to place it wherever, just like a widget. B, the pinned apps, while being a good idea in theory, people would want all their apps as accessible as possible. since there's no way to place widgets on your home screen it should just stack on top of each other in rows on 2. good so far and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback! A lot has changed since then. You can now place the clock anywhere on the home screen, and we’ve also added full widget support for more customization. Would love for you to check out the latest version and see how the app has evolved.

Features are good. But there are some bugs. there is a major bug that in app drawer cannot be scrolled when the swipe starts from any app icon.

Thanks for the feedback. About scrolling: are you referring to swiping from the dock icons? Those icons currently have swipe up/down actions, which can interfere with app drawer scrolling. If you’re facing any other bugs, please write to us at support@philauncher.com so we can look into them.

Really great app guys! Question: in the big report/feature request forms it says you can upload logs. What kind of logs do you mean and where can I find them?

Thanks a lot, glad you like the app! 😊 We now use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, so crashes and most technical logs are automatically collected on our side. You don’t need to upload logs manually. If you notice any logical issue or unexpected behavior, please mention it in the form with steps to reproduce it. That helps us a lot.
