I really like the simplicity of this app. I like keeping things as minimalistic as possible, and Olauncher does exactly that. It's easy to navigate, and I haven't encountered any bugs so far. It's also helpful to realize which apps you use and which ones you don't. I've personally found that even when there's no bright red button to grab my attention, Pinterest is still the only app I go to (ยดTฯT`)

Cari LaRissa, 2024-12-11Using OLauncher has over all improved my relationship with my phone. As someone with ADHD, out of sight means out of mind, and OL's search feature helps keep me on track. Can't get distracted by Suika Game if it isn't in my face. The only bug for me is that sometimes the launcher crashes, and I'm left in the infinity void between my home screen and app selection. I end up having to open up my task manager to get things unstuck. Hearty recommend!

Dominique Riley, 2024-12-11Fantastic! Everything you would want in a minimalist launcher. I've tried some of the other options out there and gave up on them nearly immediately. This one is different, it just works for me. Even though it's expensive I highly recommend buying the full pro launcher version as it come with a lot of super useful features. I'm excited to see the development of it as it's still in alpha/beta. Can't recommend this app enough
