2024-07-26 | Kylie Jensen | This app use to be amazing. I used it for years with no problems. But since the last Android update, the app crashes non-stop. | |
2024-07-23 | Vic Herold | I have loved this launcher for the last 4 or 5 phones that I have had. I am now using a S23 Ultra and the home page crashes, and I have to switch to the default launcher and back to ADW in order to use it again. It happens 4-5 times per day. I think it is time for an update. | |
2024-07-20 | James Meyers | Not working well anymore. I have been using this launcher for years. However, the last few weeks it has been buggy and stalls out regularly. | |
2024-01-29 | Melissa Shepherd | ???? I have been using adw launcher for about 10 years. I have always thought it to be the BEST launcher on the market, with so many themes that are really nice without ever looking cheesy or child-like, and so many options and customizations, resulting in phone you can be proud for others to look at, and different from the rest. Lately, however, my adw settings are not enforced and not working, and I don't understand. Getting a lot of force closes also. What is going on here? | |
2022-11-08 | M8884 | Uh, hello? Developers? Updates? Security issues, notification failures, issues moving icons across screens/not being able to Uninstall app by moving icon up to "uninstall", font issues, screen zoom issues, new found ad intrusion issues, among many other issues you'll find by testing devices such as Samsung Galaxy S5, Note 5 up to S9, S9+, S10, S10+, and Samsung Tab A series, as well as Cloud Mobile devices, and other tested devices. This promts security, coding/GUI updates, don't you think? | |
2022-06-15 | Kaleb Diaz | Great Launcher app, highly customizable from colors and fonts to themes and skins all the way to dock and status bar types and window transition animations to home screen and app drawer layouts and customizations. Highly recommended for anyone still running a phone using Android 4.1 or earlier. Really fun, satisfying, and efficient and most importantly reliable Launcher app. I've got mine running with an old school cynogen mod 9 ROM. I love it. | |
2022-02-26 | Kasia Piekutowska | Was working fine for years, then recently stopped working as a default home, all of my widgets are gone, and I can't install most of them again, as its says "app is not installed on your phone" Please fix that issue. | |
2022-01-02 | FreeState Rifle | Have used this app for years but it will randomly decide it wants to close every time I use the back button and reverts back to stock android theme. Eventually it will ask me if I want to use one or use always and it will fix itself for a while. | |
2021-12-05 | Jesse T | I like so many have used this app for years. Hands down one of if not the best. However @developer. the last few days I have noticed an issue With widgets, Google calendar and weather clock are having random issues and failing or not loading. If you remove it and reapply it works but will fail again. Please fix. Something changed with Google or a Samsung update. Over all still an awesome app | |
2020-10-15 | mythrandil1 | Hands down the best launcher I've used on Android. Ive used many but keep coming back to this as default. Guess I missed the memo that this branch in no longer in development so ill have to try version 2. thanks for a great 6 years. |
