Buzz Launcher-Smart&Free Theme for Android
I've tried many launchers & BUZZ is by far THE BEST! Allows you to customize your phone using others themes or create & share your own! Anyone that rates this poorly obviously has no creativity or appreciation for those that do! Like I said, I've tried MANY other launchers before Buzz & NO other can compare!!!! -customize icons ✔ -customize Widgets ✔ -customize # of pages ✔ -interact w/ others ✔ -make friends all over the world ✔ -share idea's ✔ -Developer Support ✔ -UI friendly ✔ ⚠WARNING ⚠ IT'S HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!⚠ I am NOT PAID for this review!
I've switched to Buzz Launcher after using Themer which lost its support. At first, I was satisfied that finally I've found a good replacement (I especially appreciate the ammount of options and possible designs that you can create) BUT even after setting Buzz L. as the main launcher, it always asks me to confirm it after I click on the Home button. It is SO annoying! If anyone has a working solution for this or a tip for a different launcher, please let me know!
Buzz is the best customisation launcher available for Android. I have tried many but always return to Buzz. At first, the limitations of the icons can be an issue until i realised that my preferred method is to create wallpapers with icons embedded into the wallpaper. Then it was a simple matter of using transparent icon overlays. I have tried many setups with Buzz and have settled on a purpose built 3 page design with different wallpapers, icon sizes and incorporated widgets with specific designed surrounding framed wallpaper backgrounds. Buzz is only limited by the user and their ability to imagine.
The launcher looks amazing, it has many many options and the customization is great. The only issue I have with it is that if you want to add your own widget beside from the ones the launcher offers, it has full access for anything it displays. That basically means that if you have your full schedule or any other important note on another widget/app, the launcher has full access to it, which is ridiculous.
It's so annoying that the feature to lock the App drawer setting hasn't come yet. everytime I restore a previously saved theme my current layout of app drawer changes thn I have to again move the apps around. also no updates has been introduced in a while. what about the random transition of effects? what about adding some newer effect. it's like the app is created but is not being worked on for a while
There is very little I could say this app needs. One small thing would be an simpler way to make your icons, although I have managed to make a few using cut and paste from a sketch app. But otherwise this is a wonderful launcher with a plethora of options. You can spend (or waste) time making your own themes. Infinite possibilities!
I had used Buzz Launcher for a little over a month before reverting back to my stock launcher on 6.0. The battery drain was just too much. Long story short Buzz Launcher set itself as one of my devices admins. Even though I had denied all permissions to Buzz before hand, shaddy. This means I can't delete Buzz from my phone. I have tried everything less factory reset, or rooting my phone but I still have a half year left. UPDATE: STILL NO RESPONSE FROM SHADY DEVS!
There are bugs and lag issue on Android 7.1. Please fix. Also there has always been a horizontal scroll lag on apps drawer for like ever. Update: Android 7.1.1. can't edit screen any more once it's set to lock. Can't open screen to turn the lock off...
had been using go launcher for a couple years, largely satisfied. But the i came across buzz launcher. I really like the amazing customization right down to the sizing of icons.. And primarily that you can remove app labels!! Who needs them. Do it!
It is unique to customizing Android. However, it tends to run the battery harder... Even without any animated features running. I also must comment that the attempt to keep users from uninstalling the app, comes across as highly questionable. I got it uninstalled, but many users might find it difficult to do.
Used to be when editing an icon, only icons for that app would show up in the suggested tab, unless there weren't any. Now I have to wade through a bunch of icons that have nothing to do with the app. (ie getting chrome icons when changing a phone icon). Also wish there was a way to change the icons all at once without having to use a completely new theme. Sometimes I like my layout and just want to change the icons, but don't want to do it 20 individual times. But still my favorite launcher.
The benchmark of all FREE launchers! Hands down the best free launcher in the store. Reasons being: It has lots of customization options. I really like the multiple wallpapers, one for every screen. Secondly it is easy to setup and I don't feel like uninstalling it because I can't find my way like in other launchers. Thirdly, and this is very important, it shows unread badge counts even for Gmail without asking me to buy the launcher or install extra apps just to show badge counts. It also does not "boost" the phone without your permission like other launchers. Well done developers! Please do not change the launcher too much with your next update. Hats of to BUZZ LAUNCHER!
Best launcher ever!!! Fast, reliable, lots of customisation. Great gestures, nice effects. Some improvement can be done only in the "theme" section: I'd like to change only some icons, not to be forced to get the whole theme. After updating to Nougat, letters column in app drawer disappeared. Please fix!
I love this app so much and Ive used it on all my android phones and I won't even stop using it, but please can you transition effects on the app drawer setting using that one pattern is boring. Buzz launcher is the best so far no competition on that.... Keep it up.
lag issue with NOUGAT...ever since updating to nougat 7.0 on my s7edge I have substantial lag issues. It's driving me bonkers. No problems if I switch to back TOUCHWIZ or NOVA launcher. Please fix
It's the best Launcher, that I've ever used! (And I've tried out a lot of them..) Tons of customization, and you can even backup your screens so that you don't lose them. Altogether, it's a must to download if you're a personalization addict like me. I absolutely adore the partner apps, Buzz Widget, and the Theme Wizard. I never plan on leaving this company. Edit: There is one bug that I've noticed recently... I have a Galaxy S6, and with the new update for Android, the App Drawer glitches around a bit (the vertical list scroll direction).
Promotions on my home screen!!! Completely wrong auto folder, lots wrong were do I start there are so many things to dislike. I do not recommend this app, they complete customisation, that's y i downloaded it, but I've found that i want a launcher to complete customise, I will use Nova launcher prime or just oxygen is on my Oneplus 3. Do not recommend at all.
WAY too many floating ads lately. you lot ended up way too greedy. it is the best launcher i have used as of yet. HOWEVER don't spit several floating ads in my face within five minutes. this is how you lose your followers
Bests Themer. EDIT: I wonder what Themer is like these days. Cause I'm done with Buzz. I know for a fact the Buzz team will NEVER fix any of the bugs, like notification settings, and text formatting in HPB. I know this because of how old these bugs are. Floating ass icon, auto comments, useless screen effects nobody uses, all effort has been wasted on bad decisions and stupid ideas. It's clear to me with this Buzz Team in charge, this launcher is doomed to last place.
I would have given this Launcher 5 stars, it is probably one of the best launchers out there, you can customise basically everything but... this is a big but, you cannot use 3rd party icon packs, which is totally unbelievable, come on Buzz devs fix this problem, when is this option going to be available to your thousands of users, please please sort this out and you would be the best Launcher out there!!
It's one of the best launcher , Benefits are ; 1)Stylish look 2) Customerisation of different icons is one of the plus point. 3)Hidden 'apps , RAM Booster , Screen arrangements , Screen effects , and many more features are there but problem is 1)Consumes more battery 2)Consumes more RAM (around 270mb ) 3)Some times it crashes , and shows 'apps are loading' 4)it catches more & more unwanted files
rooted s3 agat kernel oc 1.8ghz no lag best launcher ever!!! Update please help!! Block blue light has disappeared from my notification bar. Ive updated turned off and then back on to no avail.
Hi can you add something to scroll effect?. Where, theres no effect at all.. no flip, cube or fade.. just like whenever i scroll, it would pop to the next page without no effect at all.. please..
Its the best luncher which i ever got. I had tryed 80 lunchers but its the best in it high sppeed luncher no hanging and tge lock screen works superb fast... Thaks for making this launcher ..
This launcher used to be great. Now it's nearly unusable. It crashes in me constantly and I get the worst lag on it.
It will bring out the Artist, hidden in all of us, so enjoy this AMAZING APP AND get in touch with you secret side & find out your inner artistic's style ... (YOU might surprise your- self does your inner artists come from the time or just resonate towards Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Post Impressionism, Fauvism Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Op-Art, Pop Art, Minimalism, and of course you have the many varieties of our current culture... SO my advice is, especially in today's hectic and stress filled
Great customisation. Best launcher and giving it for free. You just have to know every option and that's it and you can change your phone but it's some difficult to customise
Its deserves 5 stars.. By the next update please make the password of screen do not visible.. While we draw a pattern the lines shouldn't visible.. Plz make a option for that.
Well You Fixed The Drawer Bug But There Is Another Bug I can't Able To change Lock Screen Wallpaper When I Select My Custom Wallpaper it gain Redirect me To Wallpaper Selection Please Fix This Issue.
Worst thing ever. For some reason, I cannot Upload my Saved Homapack!!!!! And my Internet Connection is FASTER THAN THE FLASH!!!!
Good launcher. But same bad luck. Badge Notification count not working. Aside my native launcher of nova plus it seems that no other launcher can show it.
I used this launcher a long time ago, for the longest time my default launcher had been nova, I've used go launcher, mycolorscreen which is pretty similar too, but from all of the launchers out there and I have tried them all, this one is at the moment the best when it comes to customization
but.... lately its been sort of glitchy. 5 times this week "Unfortunately Buzz Launcher has stopped working." This is really upsetting because buzz launcher is my favorite ! please fix soon
Eveeything is good ....but buzz locker is not working and everytime when I lock the phone....the screen is inactive........after pressing the home button once only it beComes active.....I am a big fan og buzz launcher please give a solution for this.....I am using Mi max
Good app but i can't uninstall It?! I've seen loads of other reviews saying the same thing
Nice launcher but poor notification badge makes it less useful. Emailed support about it and surprise, didn't get any reply or notification that my message received...
Glad you sorted out the problem! Back to 5 stars! :D
Huawei Mate 9 Pro system crashed once Buzz Launcher is activated as the default launcher. Please fix this issue. TQ
I really don't do app reviews but this app deserves a good one! The best launcher I've ever tried, themes are simple yet really classy. There a lot of features to choose from and it is free! Worth downloading!

"Gathering information from your app drawer... it can take longer based on network conditions." <-- This message is KILLING this otherwise great, sleek, bloat-free cool launcher. What "info"? Why depend on "network" when I just want to launch apps that are IN my phone??? I just want to launch my apps hassle-free, without any waiting. This is basic functionality. So WHY. Please fix this. Then it might be a 5 stars rating in all it's glory.
