2024-12-03 | Simone Preston | There's minimal in being helpful and organised, and then there's basic and boring. This app is basic and boring. There's no design feature inbuilt to change the wallpaper. There is a setting for the wallpaper to change daily but no option to select or deselect ones you like / don't like. Similarly, there's no theme or icons customisation.. you get what you're given and no way (I could see) to reorder or rearrange apps list. There are better launchers out there, also worse too but better is best. | |
2024-11-27 | K3vpe | I've been trying a few minimal launchers out. Lime is bare bones, but that's a good thing. Exactly what I want. I was using smart launcher for a couple of years, and it just got to be too much. I love notifications on this launcher. number badge. Crisp, clean, and sound. I would like maybe font customization, perhaps, and maybe to only have apps on the screen. Instead of name with app. This is a solid launcher. All in all, very well done! | |
2024-10-14 | JE CJ | It has just the right balance of simplicity and style. I found a glitch though: On the home screen, the Android control center often does not appear when the right side of the screen is swiped down; instead, the notification panel appears. This error is not encountered in Niagara, Kiss, and most other launchers. | |
2024-09-24 | Gregory Dearth | It's minimal. But it doesn't take advantage of an up swipe or right swipe. Only left swipe and down swipe work and neither are customizabke. And there isn't any widget options whatsoever. | |
2024-09-13 | Robyn Hovey | Can't add widgets. I use my phone as a medical device. This is literally life and death for me. Widgets are sometimes essential. There's a difference between minimalist design and restrictive design. All I want is widgets and text-based home screen (no icons). A Google Now add-on would be a nice bonus. Why is that so hard to find? | |
2024-07-26 | Ayushi Singh | The wallpaper option is still quite fuzzy and unclear.... It would be great if distinction and clarity over it would be provided.... Also on my homescreen, a logo of Lime with 4 written on it is constantly appearing.... I really hope this is some kind of glitch and gets solved, bcz if it's something permanent, then it's quite bothering and not preferable!!!! | |
2024-07-26 | Mike Du Plessis | This is just a copy of OLauncher. It's slower,(when returning to the home screen) there's like a 5 second lag before home screen apps show up. Also all the Pro features in this app is totally free on O launcher for example, app alignment, gestures and more. | |
2024-07-06 | Eric Saltasia | I've been using this app for a while and I really loved it but for some reason like the past week it keeps deleting apps off my home screen on me. it's just randomly I'll go to the home screen and only a couple of my apps are still there and I have to go back to my list and re-add them again. it's getting very annoying. If it isn't fixed soon I'm going to have to find a different launcher cuz it's a huge waste of time having to re-add everything and then sort it | |
2024-04-30 | Robin | Bought the Pro version and this app is almost perfect! Two things I wish I could change: 1- Search (put a search widget on the home screen or be able to search the web from the app search box). 2- Fix Drawer Mode (adjust the columns in the app drawer when using the grid mode so 5 or 6 apps are in each row similar to standard app drawers). | |
2024-01-23 | ALEENA SHAJAN | The interface is excellent but the reason I give only 2 stars is bcoz the app keeps hanging all the time! It doesn't move from the home screen and often opens different apps than the one clicked. Also its hard to find the apps because it doesnt support grids in the app drawer. Another set back is that you cant access the hidden apps through a gesture or something like that....we always have to unhide it to use it! |
