Incredible app, customizable with immense detail, can be as minimalistic or as complex as you want to be. I love how you can place anything where you want it and resize and rotate them to any pixel you please. UI isnt exactly the most intuitive and friendly but it has nearly everything you could want in a launcher, it just takes a bit to learn to navigate. It has everything except support for aftermarket icon packs, its still very good regardless. Make sure to lock anything you dont want to edit

I love how customizable everything is. U can add things on there jus the way u wnt them, to a "T"! The one thing I wish we had the option to do tho is adjust the color of different items/stickers we are provided w/ to decorate our home screens. I think the only other thing besides that is perhaps the ability to write with diff fonts straight on ur home screen other than that y'all are, 🪭-F*CKN-TASTIC👏🏻🎉💯

If you don't mind navigating with an air-mouse, mouse, or mini remote keyboard trackpad, this is quite possibly the best Android Box launcher I've used, and certainly the best such offering in a very long time. While that may not be it's intended purpose, it shines where other launchers fail (particularly on newer versions of Android). The Pallets, Applets & access to widgets (with a simple ADB command string), are amazing features. An option to use D-Pad navigation would make it perfect. 👍👍

I really liked this launcher because it was the closest thing that I had found that was comparable to Buzz launcher with its community and customization. But lately it glitches and its getting worse. It changes your icon images, adds the dock settings to the wallpaper, and its really annoying having your work just changed to random photos. I'm ready to delete and move on.

I've always loved this app, but after redownloading it recently I've been dealing with a really frustrating bug that's completely destroying my want to use it. I prefer to have my phone and texting apps on the home screen itself so the dock is free for others that I use more often, but 5 times now I've set up the apps in my dock only to have it randomly reset sometime later to just the phone and facebook messaging app. Extremely annoying and would appreciate a fix.

Really like it so far but dislike the app drawer and lack of customization within it. Let me customize the app drawer the same way I do the home screen. The vertical scroll is weird AF and I don't like horizontal pages. A normal vertical scroll would be okay.. Don't see other options. The size of the app drawer icons too. Etc. I absolutely LOVE the home screen customization. Great, unique launcher. Also doesn't seem to allow kwgt widgets. Seems like a great combo being missed.

Love!! It's the best I have seen as far as making your home screen into a fun, personal stylish work of art since Buzz launcher was given the ax. The only improvement I would make is for you to be able to give each home screen its own individual wallpaper. It's a bit glitchy and for some reason I have to keep making it my home launcher, which is a bit annoying but other then that chefs kiss! I can't wait to see what new options they make available. Good work my guys, gals and non binary pals!

I have this launcher on both my phones, and it's my #1 fave of ALL the many ones I've tried. I can trickle away hours upon hours editing and perfecting my many saved home screens! I only use it all the time on one phone, and almost daily I find myself editing a new scene. My s10+ has SO much on it (every corner of my life it seems), that I have another preferred primary launcher I use for it, but no points taken from WiDE... I do still access it and enjoy a different look quite frequently. A++

I love, love this app! The best launcher I've ever used! Super for organizational purposes. It has great tools, and has a wonderful lay out in place for organizational purposes from the "get go", such as empty memo pad sheets on the screen ready for quick use, etc., yet is also very versatile so that you can arrange it exactly how you want to. You do need to explore and experiment a little to see all it has available for you. I also love that you can add as many pages as you want.

Truly amazing, capable of customizations I haven't seen elsewhere. Freeform placement, resizing, overlapping things, even the ability to place widgets in the dock area: unheard-of, next-level! There's also lots of built-ins, like resizable picture frames, applets, even virtual pets if you desire to have them. A few more things would make this well worthy of five stars. Live wallpaper/KLWP/general system wallpaper support for starters. Also needs Tasker support and a few other capabilities.
