Ratings and reviews

I've had this a couple days & so far, & I like it. It doesn't seem to use a lot of RAM or battery & stays on for the most part. It's only about 20MBs too. The only annoyance is that the toggle to move items around the notch doesn't actually move them, so you won't see whatever is under the notch. The ads can be annoying too. They popup randomly & pressing the "x" doesn't get rid of them (maybe because of gestures being enabled?), but it says they go away if you pay.

It's a really good app, really useful and a good way to personalize your phone in a useful and productive way. But it has a slight imperfection, for example, when I want to trim a photo on what's app, its quite difficult with the status bar expanding through out my screen by just slightly toching the top part of the screen. If they fix that, then you can count on the five stars

This gets killed off by Google after some time (some sort of goofy background optimization or something like that) and I have to reboot to get it back. But when it is running right, it's worth it. There are a few quirky things in there but I'm sure Tom will tweak and adjust as he goes along but there hasn't been any updates for quite some time. Looking forward to improvements and added themes.
