Easily become my favourite app for tablets, why Google hasn't built this into the operating system for tablets, I don't know. The biggest change I would love to see would be the option to remove the pin icon, ruins the aesthetic for me. Love to be able to change individual icons as well or use multiple icon packs but since you can already use one, I may be being a little greedy there. It astonishes me that so few people have paid for this app.

A free app with a nice function. Just the message from developer of the app being free with its features but donate button printed me to contribute and wish to see this app develop further.

I have been using it for like a month, and it's hands-down the fastest most productive lunch I have ever seen for Android devices. It's Light coding makes it run so fast on mid-tier devices or older devices it makes them feel like premium.

Excellent launcher for android_x86 on a laptop, useful on a Chromebook for quicker access to installed Android Apps and to minimise confusion between Chrome and Android apps, not so sure it's fully featured enough for daily driver use as a launcher on a phone (Nexus5x). Well worth the purchase for the first use case for me in any case. Would like to see...... 1) More control over the visuals - e.g vary transparency, text colour etc. 2) Support for app shortcut icons in the list/grid and option to pin for recents. 3) Support for long press app shortcuts ala 7.1.1 or 5+ with Nova, 4) A way to group/categorise apps in the grid/list, 5) Expansion on the widget list to more easily identify what widget is what for apps that provide multiple widgets 6) Ability to customise the shortcuts currently attached to the overflow menu on the search bar. 7) Maybe review the UI access for those shortcuts - it's quite a hidden feature.

I can't wait to see where this goes. It would be nice to see more of a transition into a full-fledged Home Launcher replacement, instead of it being mainly a addon... definitely want to use this as my full-time home launcher. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for bringing this to the community. Much appreciated!

I'm using on Android X86. Needs a few improvements such as scrolling the taskbar apps and rearranging the pinned apps.

Simple to use. Very fast. Really convenient. Love the ability to jump directly to a specific app while another is open. Not only that, but the developer is friendly and open to suggestions. A few weeks ago, I mentioned wishing for a feature. Just discovered he added it in the most recent version. Last but certainly not least, it's great that it's offered for free without any strings attached. For that reason, I was happy to contribute to the effort. I hope all who enjoy the app will do the same.

Really like the way the app works and would love to see it support widgets maybe by scrolling to the side for a widgets section before it completely replaces my launcher but what do I know. Thanks and keep up the great work.
