Ratings and reviews

Great concept, very light-weight, easy to use. The idea itself requires you to remember the names of apps though since there really is no drawer or "see all apps" option. However, the search is great and if you only really use a few apps often, then this app is the fastest way to launch them. Cool idea, been enjoying it but, the concept takes some getting used to. --- edit --- Developer pointed out you can touch the green circle for all apps! Made a good launcher now great! Nice work!

This launcher lets you tag your apps, view/search/filter tags in the app drawer. This alone is a great feature. It's pretty straightforward for a launcher - it's fast, compact, minimal. My only complaint is that it lacks documentation, and some functions are obscure. Take "minimalism" for example. Turning it on lets you put widgets on your home screen. Turning OFF minimalism disables widgets and does... Something? A really good app, but feels just slightly unfinished.

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.
