Ratings and reviews

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.

The idea behind this launcher is exactly as described, and it showed when many reviewers and long-time users of it got my attention. One of the biggest advantages this one has over the others though is that it is considerably designed to allow you to navigate with just one hand: from having an All apps button on the bottom corner of the screen to alphabetizing everything backwards. The only downside is that it can still be slow while the launcher tries to load the app icons when you start it.

1.The app icons of certain apps from time to time goes missing, though everything works mormally. After a restart this is resolved. Please work on this. 2. While using high intensive apps such as Camera, i have noticed that the launcher crashes. So, again i would have to wait a few seconds for it to become normal. p.s the concept of this launcher is quite brilliant. People should try it at least once to get a taste.
