Rockit Launcher Beta for Android
Its a great innovative launcher to have but there are something which needs to improve asap. First I can't able to create folders, Second there is no launcher setting I can't able to find.
This is one of the launcher with a purpose, please keep evolving it so that it stays alive!
The app drawer background could be blur so it won't be affected by the wallpaper. It would also be good to have the apps on the main screen categorised. Other than that, this is really good!
This is a good app if you use your Google Calendar a lot. It does make apps faster as well and I can find my apps pretty easy, I like it.
cool and functional app..i will put 5 stars when you put widget support if you ever doit...in any case amazing job
More options would be good.
there is no settings of the launcher and it cannot change the icon
But laggy
The calendar page could be made a widgets page
Needs more work but good nonetheless
Dark theme?
I'll give you 5 stars if you allow this launcher to access widgets. To the developers: You have a wee gem here, listen to the comments and keep up with the good work.
Does have a annoying ad in the calendar area and there isn't any settings for the launcher at all
No translucent status bar ? Really ? Its 2016 not 2012
Has potential but needs more customization
I can access everything in my phone that I want on one menu and everything else is one swipe away. Well done.
I am really picky about launchers and have probably tried every one on the play store... Here is what is important to me: 1. Live wallpaper support. 2. Minimal yet functional.. 3. Clean user app drawer. 4. Ability to apply widgets.... This launcher does well with most/ I really really need my music play widget available at all times and an agenda.. The stock agenda is quite good and pulls everything off of google Cal, with live wallpaper behind.. Need icon pack support. Settings?? Where are the settings?
Too big apps in all apps and how to open the launcher settings
This is a very functional launcher for a power user. Gives me what I want within 3 swipes or taps. Everything happens in 3's be it tabs, or calling favourite contacts or searching for apps and contacts. Am enjoying the beta version, cant wait for additional features like widget support. Perhaps a single swipe to access camera option, customizeable tabs to swipe to. For e.g.; certain users might prefer swiping left to a native notes tab or news tab versus calendar or a music tab, hmm a lifestyle tab perhaps?
I am giving Rockit Launcher a try on my quest to simplify tasks and embrace the minimalist approach. I've had the same home screen layout on every Android phone I have had for the past 5 years, so I expected this to be a bigger adjustment than it actually has been. The key here is functional simplicity. To complete a task on my phone, the first step, which is typically opening some app, should be the quickest. For example, previously getting from A to B used begin with 10 possible paths, which all then had additional forks in the road, etc. Now it's more like 2 choices and you're there. While you may think that's going to limit capability, it doesn't because it eliminates having to decide how to start doing something. I really like the swipe up search function. My only concern would be possible battery consumption, but for now it hasn't been an issue. Goodbye to the days of searching through page after page of apps and hello to Rockit!
Update 8/2/15: Appreciate the feedback from the team. For the time being, I've uninstalled the theme. Once there is an update that addresses the crashing, I'll reinstall.
Simple elegant
Rock-it Launcher is a truly minimalist launcher with a really low memory footprint, its clean aesthetic sense is a pleasure to work with and use. The best feature of this launcher is the "Rock-it Bar" which sits at the bottom of the screen waiting for the user to flip through an alphabet line, once the user moves his finger across this line the screen gets populated with every kind of content the phone has to offer. This is really cool as the apps and contacts which usually take minutes to find are revealed immediately. This is a promising new launcher with a lot of potential.
At this stage, it couldn't possibly replace my native launcher. I see great potential and some awesome ideas, but it can't stand alone as is. Great for someone who wants the most basic of launchers with a clean, light interface. Keep up the good work! I hope to see more from this.
With a wallpaper it will be great
I would definitely use this as my main launcher if the favorites bar were removable, its an interesting idea but redundant to people who arent that social or dont need that kind access to 5 people
Does have a annoying ad in the calendar area and there isn't any settings for the launcher at all
Very good but crashes a lot :(

I am not afraid of using something new. I have used this app for a month and here is my summary. Pro's. It keeps you organized and you get to apps a whole lot faster. It is in alphabetical order. You also have a homepage for app you use a lot. It is very crisp and clean. I actually had couple of compliments on it. Cons. The row of letter are way to small almost useless. The one tap feature does not auto fill and I get a crash about once or twice a week. This is beta so I know it's getting better.
Liked the simplicity of this launcher.
Awesome
Very user friendly & light..
Dark theme?
Very user friendly..!!
Awesome app..best app ever made. If you don't download this, you will regret it for rest of your life.This app will be remembered for generations to come.Another milestone achieved in the history of android apps .
Just needs better animations

One of the best things about android is customization, but this launcher has 0 settings. Your stuck with the contacts order, your stuck with only today on calendar, no widgets and no icon pack support. This launcher could easily be 5 stars if it embraced android instead of forcing you to stick with their say so
