Like the concept and design, but like quite a few launcher I've tried over the years, many features that come on device straight out the box now, are monetized and/or heavily limited until payment. I.e folders, widgets, number of apps on screen. Customization options like icon changes, fonts, clock, calendar, weather. $5 annual, $10 lifetime. I'd still recommend giving it a try.

Hi Pygmy G, thanks for the honest 3-star review! I hear you regarding the limits. As a solo indie dev, monetizing helps me cover ongoing costs and keep improving the app. I try to balance this by offering a full 30-day trial with all features unlocked so users can test everything before supporting. Your feedback is highly appreciated!

TL;DR: Great experience, this was my choice launcher across 5 ones I tried. I expect to use it for a long time and recommend it. Long story: The launcher is very customizable while feeling quick to use. The main page hosts 8 quick launch apps for common use ones then the T9 for everything else, so it feels like everything is available at the touch of a button. Calling my wife? Dial her number with the T9. Finding an app? 2 or 3 button presses away. Everything is quick to access.

I really admire you for being able to remember your wife's phone number 😂. Anyway, I was deeply moved by these words, thank you so much for your experience and such very practical insights. I'm delighted to have you on this ongoing development journey for the launcher. Thank you again ❤️

Surprisingly enjoyable launcher. I have a launcher problem, in that I am always looking for something unique, minimal, enjoyable but functional. Rare. So far this is all of those with just a dash of nostalgia, which appeals to the millennial in me. I cannot justify the asking price at all, but the free version is functional enough I will be using it as my primary for a while at least. Well done. Edit: The app says 19.99 atm, but sale is valid: 9.99. Happily purchased. ty!

Hi there, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that the launcher resonates with your millennial heart. I wanted to let you know that I've just lowered the price to make the Pro version more accessible. I hope you'll take another look. Thanks for your support and for choosing my app as your primary launcher.
