Ratings and reviews

So far I like what I see. I don't seem to have any control over the order of icons in home screen folders though. Otherwise, great start! Changing to 5 stars. Developer had a VERY quick response to show me where to find the option to arrange folder icons. Looking forward to future with this launcher. This really seems to be the Nova Launcher replacement we've been looking for.

[EDIT 1:] found a bug (minor) when changing the shape of the icons... if you already have icons on the home screen, they will not change unless you resize them. [EDIT 2:] another bug (could be my phone) very rarely but when opening the recent apps window it won't open for 5 or so seconds. Went from 11/10 to 10/10 this is still the best launcher I've ever had in my 15 years of android phones.

good launcher, lotta neat goodies and very customizable. what I would like to see is; - Making the glass effects more immediately accessible by automatically setting the internal launcher (if at all possible, I *think* android apps can retrieve the user wallpaper?) - more search functionality, Nova Launcher's search towards the end of its life was incredibly powerful, and Octopi's feels lacking in comparison otherwise this is really good and I'm excited to see where it goes
