Will change if you tell me how to stop app from blocking permissions from other apps like motobody and maps.

D70%
by D####:

Great app but I have to uninstall to access permissions for other apps (screen overlay detected). Re-organizing my apps each time is not fun....

N70%
by N####:

There are so many good things about this app, I really want to use it. But the app says it may not swipe if other launcher is looking for a swipe from the left...but I don't have other launchers installed. NOTHING swipes from left side on my Moto 360 2nd gen. I'll upgrade if I get help and it works.

N70%
by N####:

Everytime I go and swipe it never works. Open app then the swipe works. Next time I want to use it, no swipe! Gotta open app.

N70%
by N####:

How long do I have to wait before I see the the launcher show up on my watch?

B70%
by B####:

Nice app, just wish there was a way to exit the app drawer again after opening it. If I open it by swiping right, and then swipe right again, I can feel the watch vibrating, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Would be a nice addition imo.

I70%
by I####:

I had written a negative review about this app cuz I could not make it work on my lg g watch r. After install it wouldn'appear in apps on my watch even after sync fron wear app... I had to reset the watch, reconnect to phone, reinstall wear app, reinstall the launcher, resync and the app appeared in the watch r applications. Manual start and bingo. It works !

Also this launcher has very few customizable options for the end user. It does run very smoothly but those microscopic font/text label sizes and tiny icons makes this launcher almost unusable unless used with magnifying glasses.

K70%
by K####:

I have tried every other launcher for my moto 360 2nd gen, and this is the only one that actually works well every time. It works so seamless I would swear it's part of Android wear. This launcher works every time on the first swipe from the left side just as quickly and easily as the native wear launcher swipes in from the right. This launcher does exactly what it is supposed to do, and it does it flawlessly. There is no need to take out the phone to adjust settings as everything is done right on the watch

So far this is the best launcher app for me. so far. I say so far because Ive only had it on my huawei watch for a short time. I can open my watch face and hold the left side of my watch , feel a vibration and swipe right and there are all my apps. I can select the number of rows (I selected 2 rows works perfect for the round face) I can move my favorite apps to the top; of the rows and I can hide the apps that I don't use. What more could I want for a launcher? I would next like to see the battery drain and will u;date, but so far I'm loving this. I can't tell you how many launchers I downloaded and deleted before finding this one ! Most of the others have lag or you have to swipe a couple of times to open them. Not this one!

K70%
by K####:

Tried most of the other launchers out there, they are all slow and laggy when used with Facer watchfaces, this is the only launcher that is fast and snappy. Takes a while to set up but once it's done, your good to go!

W70%
by W####:

This launcher seamlessly opens up real use to your watch - making it easy to use with quick to access. The sexy app scrolling and smooth visuals combined with great config options simply make this app first class. Brilliant Many thanks!

The ordering right on the watch of apps (vs. phone) and in any order seal the deal... making this my launcher of choice. (Update: Still my favorite - now on my third Android Wear watch - LG Urbane 2nd Edition.)

nice config..light launcher...cool

Using this app on moto 360 2nd...Installed and had some problems with swipe to open but problem solved by adjusting swipe area in the app settings. Great application nice job!! Finally a good launcher I have tried several with no luck.

L70%
by L####:

Love the way this app allows you to see your Droid Wear apps in rows of icons rather than a list, however, I'm unable to launch the app with a swipe from the left side of the screen. I am not running any apps that launch in the same fashion, and I've manually launched the app on my watch (more than once) as directed upon install. I would be ecstatic if I could open with a swipe; this otherwise defeats its own purpose as I have to scroll through the cumbersome app list in order to launch this app each time.

K70%
by K####:

Works great on my LG G Watch. Now i can get to my favorite apps faster as they are in my order. Only problem is sometimes it can be a challenge to open and close the launcher would be 5 stars if that was not an issue.

D70%
by D####:

I hate to give such a great app a low star rating. This is by far the best android wear app UI bar none, literally, but on my LG URBANE there's just one problem. Every time I enter settings mode I don't know how to exit. Maybe I'm missing something simple or maybe it's a programming error, I don't know. Minus one star for having to restart watch after settings and minus one for not being able to hide apps. I think dev did a great job making this app. And I will not Uninstall or get refund. Love app

K70%
by K####:

I have the LG urbane and this works great... Two suggestions if you will, have the ability to hide apps and also, allow to pin apps via double tap and remove from pin same way to start an app when watch turns off.

K70%
by K####:

Setup is a pain in the tail! This app is not with the cost! The arrows to move apps around are way too small, I clicked 12 times just to move my heart monitor app. Total waste, maybe you should make the initial setup on the phone or have options on the phone.

K70%
by K####:

Decided to keep for now. You should swipe left to go back to the watch face. You should swipe right to go into the configuration. It doesn't make sense to swipe right to go to config when you just came from that direction (from main screen). You should be more like Mini Wear Launcher in this regard. What they've done is intuitive. UPDATE: the app doesn't even stay active. Have to keep restarting it. Mini Wear Launcher is always active, even after restarting the device.

I use a Sony's smartwatch 3 and asus fonetab 7 and would not trade them in for anything and try and make them work better for me the launcher works better now a hiccup the first time I installed it but the second time I installed it works better than I thought.

Best app that I have downloaded so far. Makes all apps easier to access on my watch.

Tried this app twice on my Moto. Really wanted it to work. Unfortunately, could not use it as a launcher.

Cannot remove haptic feedback, cannot close the launcher, cannot hide apps from list. What CAN this app do?

Need the brightness and quick controls for WiFi

I've tried them all but this is hands down the best.

J70%

The only thing I have against it, it would not let me power off my watch. I installed it again and now it is fixed. I'll give it another star and give it time to proof it's worth.

I like it's app

R70%
by R####:

I personally love this launcher better than the others ive tried. Looks better and works better plus the ability to choose where to slide finger and how big of a space is a huge plus. My only complaint tho is should be able to customize app tray from phone as well as on watch. Its rather annoying having to tap up 25 times to put apps where you want em in order. Thanks for the excellent launcher

Works as expected.... Much easier now to open apps. A simple app, but makes life so much easier.

by T####:

It worked fine for about 5 hours ...then everything started going wrong...my brand new watch (lg watch urbane) started malfunctioning...it wont let me exit the app or access anything else...everytime I tried going into settings to restart..it redirected me back to the crashed app. I want my money back.

Missing the option to hide apps

Needs to have the ability to put apps in alphabetical order automatically and also to increase app icon size. :)

U70%

What ever fit app you try to open it opens steps

Seems more reliable than other launchers. Would like to see the ability to hide certain apps from the launcher, as well as increase the size of icons.
