This is the one launcher that fitted my needs, but 1. if the voice search of Google be directly accessed like in Google now launcher,(Ok Google Voice command) it'll be much more helpful. 2. and would it be possible to add folders to the app drawer?? Because I like to keep one clean home screen and There are some apps that I don't use frequently but I can't hide as well, and it'll be great to have a place where I can put them away from my day to day apps, but still reach them easily. Thanks for your efforts, I really appreciate it.
This is a great Launcher! Maybe on the next update you can give us the choice leave the Search or Remove it.... Like I said it's a Great Launcher!

Does the voice button work for you? it's right next to the search bar. This is a great Launcher! Maybe on the next update you can give us the choice leave the Search or Remove it.... Like I said it's a Great Launcher!

Most Simple yet Productive Launcher.. Saves your Ram & Battery like magic. Hands down beats all the Launchers. Best features: Superb App Drawer.. With Alphabetic & Regular views. Home button to search for apps, contacts & anything on net. Suggestions: Will be epic if Sorting the App drawer on installation date could be added. A panel to show the most used apps in the App drawer. Keep up the good work. Cheers 🍺🍷
Speechless. This is the whole best, wonderful and smartless launcher. I like this as I must not download third party for notification [ as nova ]. Hope it will remain as same or upgrade to a better one. Also have the double tap to unlock feature. Excellent. If you read this please scroll up and click download. Works perfect on my LG K8.! ALL THE BEST!
My new favorite Launcher. Simple but elegant and intuitive. The swipe down to search feature is the best part. Some launchers have something similar but it's either limited to only apps or only Google searches. This let's you search both and doesn't require reaching for the top of the screen. It reminds me a bit of spotlight search. I also love the folder animations despite being like ios. I've I always found ios folder solution more elegant than androids anyways.
So, I'm using this launcher for quite some time now and am really satisfied. Having so much simplicity and still being able to customize the essential is pretty amazing. I believe though that I encountered, let's call it a bug - when switching the language of the system, the app names do not update. Now you might wonder why anyone would change the language of the system. Well, I'm speaking German but I decided to use my devices in English because it simply is more convenient. Is there any solution of getting the app names updated without having to un- and reinstall the launcher? Thank you in advance.
This is a great app. Of all launchers I have tried this seems to work for me. A couple of things through. Fix your unread badges. It still displays even after reading g the message. Also allow yours to pick a folder that will enable to randomly display wallpapers saved on devices after some interval. This would be a really cool feature. Also how does one acces the hidden apps once you hide them? Kindly fix your unread badges bug it is still displaying a counter even after messages are read
Is it possible to make Evie rotate 90 degrees for Horizontal mode viewing? Nova does this, which I had previously to Evie, and I really appreciated that feature as I use the phone at night quite a bit and hold it horizontally. I hope its not too much to ask for. Keep up the EXCELLENT work! This launcher is the best. I constantly show it to friends and family. This thing rocks! I also put it on my tablet's. Be sure to also get Google Wallpaper app. This with high res Wallpaper is the best.
After using this for a while, it has really grown on me. No more opening the browser, Play Store, app drawer. Just use the search bar at the top. I only have 2 apps on my home screen (apart from the essentials like dialer and contacts etc.) Such a nice clean way to use Android. Will use this with every new phone for the forseeable! Lovely stuff cheers. (Having more recent apps would make it even better. We could have the 20 or so apps that we actually use always available, instead of having just 6 recent results)
Evie, the launcher that everyone deserves. This is a great simple launcher. Smooth and good looking. Almost the perfect launcher for me. One drawback is the folder doesn't rename itself and also when folder is opened, the background isn't dimmed enough. Perhaps it's better to blur the background when the folder is opened to suit the whole theme of the launcher. But I do wish it has the fancy personalised page like in Google now launcher on the left most home screen. For now, I'm sticking with this launcher. Hope to see some nice updates.
Out of 8 launchers Evie has been my favorite. I just wish there was a paid version so I didn't have to see the ads. Or is there another way to remove them? Thanks Evie, sleek, simple and intuative. EDIT: I've noticed that every since I installed my apps crash a lot. Is this a known issue you guys are looking into?

Hi DeAnn, thanks for the kind words! There are actually no ads inside of Evie. I think what you are seeing are the suggested search results. This is a symptom of bugs with our current search algorithm, versus ads. Sorry about those and we are working on a new version that improves search relevance. It is , in my opinion, the best launcher out there. Few tweaks here and there yea but it's still really good. 2 things that should be tho:1) the Evie settings have to be searched . It took me a while to find it. 2) when you open a folder for about half a second the launcher feels unresponsive. If you click on the outside of the folder as soon as you open the folder it doesn't close . You need to wait for a a second. If that is fixed it would contribute to the overall buttery feel of this beautiful launcher
I've tried pretty much every single launcher and this is definitely the best one. It has a simple and clean interface that performs smoothly and there is lots of customization. A couple things that would make it a little better could be possibly an option to remove the search bar, and also add more options to customize folders
I love this launcher! I've been using it for awhile now and it's definitely one of the most stable ones I've used and looks great too. I hope in the future we can choose the order of our screens e.g home screen can be the middle screen instead of left most, and also some way to hide the search bar if not needed.
Smooth and comfort. Would be great if search didn't ignore hidden apps. And an option to drag out apps from app drawer to desktop instead of cloning them. Another small issue is - icons duplicate if you put them into folder twice. Otherwise it's perfect!
Only launcher I liked besides the OnePlus Launcher. Love the minimalistic design, the quick search (with a view of the recent apps), and the ability to customize almost everything. Only issue I found is that CleanMaster lists it as one of the apps causing my phone to overheat. Hope that will be fixed, but overall, great, great Launcher.
Somehow on this launcher, I found it very difficult to drag and drop app icons onto the lowest row of space, just above dock. Other than that, the launcher is very easy to use and there's no lag in my daily usage. There's tons of things to customize considering this is a free launcher. Enjoyed it a lot!
I have tried many launchers, and honestly couldn't understand why so many people like CM or whatever so much. Then I tried Evie. It's like stock, but with gestures and a beautiful design. It's stable, it's fast, it's sooo customizable but not intrusively so. This launcher is really well done! I actually use it over my stock oneplus one!
Please add an option to rename apps labels. It's annoying to see apps lables doesn't show full names. "Samsung note" shows like "Samsung N..." And i hate it. Hope you guys will fix it on next update. Thanks! Almost perfect launcher.
Not terrible, but if you want to use this launcher, don't use the tap twice to lock phone feature. It doesn't actually work. When it's"locked" you can bring the notification bar down and then press home and it will show you that it was never actually locked.
I like Evie a lot - simple, clean, easy gestures from anywhere offer quick access to just about anything with either one click or a super quick search. Makes sense! I'd really like to have the option to replace/customize the icon for a folder, as Nova allows, as I've never much liked a folder display of lots of tiny icons. NOTE folder styles are an improvement but I would still prefer the option to use a custom icon rather than a composite. Otherwise, keep up the good work! Looking forward to what you add next...
I started using this launcher after my previous launcher ads got out of control! I'm very happy with the balance of simplicity and customization of this launcher and it works very well on my S4. The only improvement I would like to see in the future is the ability to lock the icons and widgets on the home pages. Great app!
My S planner widget before this had option 4x4 when I used Samsung Touchwiz. But in this launcher only has the 2x2 widget size. I really hope you can provide the 4x4. I like this launcher. Plus, the notification count is not correct. I have clear all my whatsapp messages but the noti stil display 88.
I gave this launcher a new look after dismissing it a long time ago. I am pleased with the simplicity of this layout and how easy it is to access all of your apps and the settings page. Simply put your most used app icons on the home page and the rest is a piece of cake. Kudos to the developers of this launcher!
Lightweight, fast, does most of what I want it to do. Only things that's missing for me is more spacing between icons in folders, being able to turn the search bar off, and better spacing in the app drawer. But, honestly, these weren't big enough to warrant knocking a star off.
This is the best minimal launcher I've ever used. I have used alot of launchers over the years, but has always been flummoxed by the range of customisation they offer, they always hindered me from using a launcher. This app doesn't do that perfectly. I would have given a 5 star if you can bring back my google now page of left swipe. I miss google now.
The best and most light weight launcher I've used- and believe me I've tried PLENTY. Others are super bloated with flashy hard to use designs/layouts while others have overly simplistic layouts that really don't do much. Evie is perfect. Love that I don't have to have ALL my icons on the home screen. It's worked out really well for me 👍
I'm also a fan of the swipe side to side for apps, calendar, weather and contacts.. To make this awesome I wish I could have a couple pages that I can use my own bookmarks and some cool widgets. Also, a sliding page for whatever sms app were using, and or the abilities to either alphabetiz the app list page or put our favorite say 10 apps at top of list. I know it's alot but this launcher is light, easy on ram and battery, and it's quick. Shoot! This must came to me... Maybe a notification page like ios so it also has some system settings, whatever music apps use (I use soundcloud) oh my goodness that'd be so very awesome. I like the fact that you guys actually listen to the ideas that we suggest! That's another thing that makes this app above the rest! Thank you!
I just recently found out about Evie. I have been trying it out for a few days now and I am really enjoying it. Thanks for a great launcher. Please add the option to add a blank new page, and please also add the option to remove the search bar from every page and just keep it on one page. Also please add the option to auto-sort the apps into folders by categories. Thanks
!Very minimal,clean and smart launcher. Features are all carefully selected. Not like the hundreds of usual junk launchers available in the playstore... Just one issue, the wallpaper is not scrolling,wud b great if the developer can respond with a solution..Thnx. Edited after a quick acknowledgement from the developer: Technically five stars for the launcher

thanks for the feedback! we'll add to the request list. Simple, sleek and fast. Only thing that bothers me are the unremovable search bar that's forever on the top of the home screen. While it's really helpful, there are many ways I can find my apps easily and I rarely used the search bar.
Evie is AWESOME! The best launcher out there, especially the search feature. I have a question to the developer though, is there any chance something like (Evie Hub) come out? I'm really looking forward to it, thanks for the awesome work!
Very nice launcher. Update 5/12/17: Raised from 4 to 5 stars with latest update which gave options for different folder styles (used to be fixed ugly iOS style squares). Now it's truly awesome! Thanks!
