User reviews
Sadly still the best launcher on Android, much better than newer launchers (including SL6), by far. This is in spite of things like the notifications plugin and the best themes being no longer available and backup/restore not working and searches failing if there's an ampersand in them (still a problem in the latest 6, despite my reporting it long long long ago and a number of times). It's light, fast, and just works. It's sad people have forgotten that customizable minimalism is a thing.

This is a novel, somewhat minimalistic launcher I am taking great delight in. Super smooth, great animations. Is it possible to have more than 15 categories with text? Maybe if the category bar could slide up as more categories are added. I've memorized icons for the last 25 years and my brain is tired... I want to read text... Super job, guys. Well pleased.

Love this launcher , had it for years , but just bought a new a54 and the screen gets very warm and the battery seems to drain quicker than I think it should so I've uninstalled for now , really hope I have a faulty phone and it's not this launcher cos I love it. We'll see how we go for a week.
