Ratings and reviews

I doubt I'll ever find a better launcher for me, any and all searching stopped the day I found this. The ability to have a completely clear homescreen fully displaying my wallpapers, and with one tap bring up my recent apps, favorites, and search, is what I never knew I needed. Lots of customization options, gesture options are cool too. Could use deeper color options, and if it could auto-change colors based on wallpaper, even better. Overall, peak. Thank you.

Best launcher I've ever used and ive used all the major ones (and many others too). Too many are focused on all these useless gimmick features. All I wanted was a nice clean, empty, screen. This launcher achieves that perfectly. Been using for almost a year now with no issues. I would like to see some additional gesture support but other than that I have no suggestions. It's perfect and exactly what I've been looking for. Oh and it's FOSS. I'd give this 6 stars if I could.

Works well. Kinda wish I could swipe for a page of widgets or something, or for the ability to use app shortcut folders in the little shortcut area between the search bar and the app list, though. You can accidentally remove app icons from the shortcuts but a restart fixes that. Sometimes tags disappeared from an app listing in the past. There's not much to complain about. Maybe there's something that could meet my needs better, but I always come back to this launcher.
