Ratings and reviews

This launcher is almost as good as Ruthless however the one thing that bugs me is the colored shadow around the folder. There should be an option to not have that displayed. It's very annoying. Also if you'll can add some ability to customize the app drawer (search bar especially) that would be awesome. But otherwise good customization options. Runs very smooth and fast on my Google Pixel 5

Has potential, but after a few things are changed. Turned off permissions post prior to launch for location, cell network, wifi, notifications, startup, etc. went to settings, turned off google search, assistant card, etc. permissions for sdcard turned off, no permissions for mail found, no permissions for phone calls or sms. So, when network was turned on, but firewall still blocking, began to see large number of network requests, some IPs are in China. What info is being sent? Uninstalled.

Lightweight, snappy and simple- but lacks a few basic features to be the best minimal launcher. Would love to see folder support, an iOS homepage/app drawer toggle and transparency in the app drawer settings. Other than that, definitely going to be my go to launcher.
