Ratings and reviews

This is handsdown my favorite launcher for Android. That said I think there is an error in this launcher. Every time that I miss a call the live tile says I have two missed calls but it is only one. I like this theme a lot but just wanted to report that bug. It is all live tiles. Not just the phone. If a developer ciuld fix that bug then I will give 5 stars :-)

really like the launcher. some suggestions and small changes that I think could be good for the user experience -larger search bar on app drawer and make the apps behind it untappable. I accidentally tap them often -after searching an app in the drawer and opening the app and coming back, search result should be cleared. maybe if the user returns 10 or more seconds later (so they can still have the results in case of opening the wrong app)

Really love the overall look and simplicity, but more customization options are needed to be perfect! For instance, more sizing options to create bigger tiles for full calendar views like Samsung and Google calendar widgets. The full month widget can't fit into the currently biggest tile option and gets cut off, looking horrible. Needs more support for icons, please. Also noticed some bugs... I can't make folders at all. As soon as I drag one app shortcut into another, they both disappear.
