Z Launcher Beta

Hey Nokia, you are good in innovation & quality but this which you developed is good but you are not giving any option. Home is something for me. I want want to keep it blank I don't want that to be filled with somebody's name or some app or something with is really necessary. Yes it is great idea but give an option for us... Don't use lumia mind which fetch you nothing. Give a second screen let me make a slide and let me give a command or like any other gesture to pop-up that window

Works really really well on my moto G 2nd Generation. The only problem though is while swiping the screen. Sometimes it gets a little cheeky as it interprets that as a gesture, and also, if you uninstall an app, it still shows the app icon, but given the fact that it is still at beta phase, I expect a lot from you guys. I would definitely suggest this launcher to anyone who wants a luncher which is simple to use and is not beefy like other launcher which consume a significant amount of power and resources.

It's a great concept but I'll jump to the suggestions since it's on beta. Add icon size. App drawer and app list on the right are the same thing!! Add option for list/vertical/horizontal app drawer. Paginated widget page. Change the clock widget or add more actions to it other than calendar/clock/missed calls. Improve gesture recognition. More pages for the dock. Hide notification bar. Simple folders that go with the launcher design. Option to change wallpaper transparency, add blur option. Thank you.

First of all I want to say I was and wil be a nokia fan. Its definitely the best launcher I have used. But it needs a few fix like: 1) it needs more accuracy understanding the alphabetical type , otherwise it will be of no use.2)There must be an app drawer , in vertical menu page people can access the app like folder structure of windows. Hopefully this things will be sorted out in go live phase. Best of luck 2 nokia developers.

I like using z launcher.its simple no fuss and fast. But i wish i could put two three shortcut fixed on screen. For example contact or dialer. When i am out and need to call someone i just want to press the icon not search for it. And when i want to lock my mobile without using physical key wish i could use a simple scribble for that. And a lock screen made by nokia with this launcher will be great with some widget from nokia. I am so much waiting for ur devices to launch so i can go back to using nokia

Love the scribble part. I just have to think of the app I want then scribble the first letter of the app name and voila it's there! No need to search on the screen or in your app drawer no need to scroll to find what youre looking for. It saves you alot of time and keeps you focused on what you want to do. The only thing I would want in the future would be the inclusion of Google search bar on the homescreen. Makes it even more convenient to search from the homescreen.

Seriously I have seen many launchers like Google Now launcher C Launcher etc but yesterday I watched the Nokia video about the coming back and I saw their launcher I simply love it Nokia has been best in all things in all ways and this seems so innovative that your launcher adapts you and at the end I am pretty excited to see Nokia with an android os. Best of luck guys. And I wants to say that I will recommend to every Nokia lover out there. People so emotionally attached to Nokia. My first phone Nokia 1209

Its very nice app and comes in very handy. No difference in battery consumption so i am giving 5 stars. But some apps other than z launcher from play store consume more battery power. By the way i am big fan of nokia... waiting for the launch of new smartphones...

not for fancy pants wearing feather in the hat types, this is the to the point - no frills - performance minded - simple and effective way to do it. of course every person will have a different perspective, I say that out of the others launchers that this is the one for me. major things i like include drawing on the screen to find a app, which has become second nature now. and the launchers above average learning, it is very awesome imo. if you like precision =get this

I loved the unique design which is nearly like nokia lumia. But still needs lots of improvements because user always dont want to see only recent apps, show recent activities like recent chats, messages, missed calls. I would suggest you to take a look at microsoft's arrow launcher which is simply perfect. This Z launcher has very relaxing design like u sit in a car and dont know how internal parts are working. Overall great in itself. No hustle bustle kind of thing in this launcher, its has clean UI.

Hello Nokia Inc, I am big fan of Nokia gadgets from my early childhood. And I am eagerly waiting for new Nokia comeback in the market. Well talking about Nokia Z Launcher is one of the unique Launcher I have used till now. But I am more addicted to app drawer not in a list form. So make some options that may allowed users to customize the drawer. On home I would like to see Google search widget. Some launchers stock wallpaper other then blackish one you are providing. Some font customizing option too,Thnk U

An almost never ending search for a launcher which redefines the android using experience ends here. Finally a launcher which not only is neat and polished, but also intuitive and useful. I tried and used almost all the good launchers in play store for a long time but was never satisfied. After using Z Launcher for quite some time, I am sure I won't be using any other launcher now till something even better comes up.

It seems like Nokia may have dropped this project.. it should not die. Can Nokia hand it's source to the public for further development? I have been using it for years and really like it. It works well as is but as many products it can grow.. the time I don't like it is when I forgot the app name.. but remember what kind of app it was.. on the full so list I should, for instance, be able to group all games together

Great to see Nokia active in the public mobile space again. I'm assuming that this is a trial for whatever device they'll make when their contract restriction with MS runs out. I'm surprised at how old school international Swiss this is. I'm strongly reminded of the gorgeous Zune player interface of the mid-00s. There's also a bit of Sailfish in there too. Excited to see where this goes!

Searching apps by gesture makes this launcher user friendly.... And it looks cool... but should also add option to turn off screen by double tap or something. And even after uninstalling apps, its icon stays in the menu for a while. if you can get app list by swiping to left, why should there be an extra button to go to app list alone...??? It also lags a little bit while to open the app or anything we click .

Love the app. Really does ease up things. Identifies whatever I scribble with ease. Looks so much more interesting and apart from the lauchers available on todays android devices. It is not perfect though. For instance I couldn't figure out how to add an app to the home screen. But considering the fact that its on its beta phase; they will sort out things with newer updates. Don't have to scroll through all the apps. Thanks to the Z Launcher.

Brilliant so far, seems slick with options for the full app list and widgets. Would be good to have top half of main screen as a widget or two. Also drawing a shape to use apps used most I think would be a good addition. Been looking for a default launcher replacement for my 6P and this might be the one! Slightly sluggish.

This is my favorite launcher I like different is this is it . im in the play store daily looking for something different then nova or touch wiz .it givea me a clean home screen and a creative way to find apps. The only things I didn't like is that u have to go to settings to uninstall apps and also can't make folders If those two don't matter to u then this is the launcher for u

It's a very innovative launcher. Its easy to work you around. Looks good. A new way of thinking how to operate a system or launcher. You can at this moment do some customisation. But there are room for more customisation, more desktops(swipe to left, right and up) Double row of shortcuts at the bottom where you can hide the last row.(swipe up to show last). Some things I would like to see. Here is a Question. Why are there a shortcut to apps when you can swipe ?

When I delete an app, the icon stays on the menu bar on the right. But the app is not there. It can not be interacted with whatsoever, it just stays there. But the launcher is very great. And I hope that Nokia or Microsoft or Lumia returns being the best phone in the market. I changed my nokia 630 for a samsung galaxy S7. But i have used the nokia 735 and the newest ones. But android newest phones are better for now. I hope you guys can make the best out of it.. you guys won't probably read this so... Yeah.

Love the minimalistic design, especially how neat everything is but I've got a couple of suggestions. 1.) I can't seem to be able to delete icons that are in the bottom tray once I put them there. I think that's a pretty crucial problem. 2.) The ability to draw a letter and have the app appear is great, but I think some work needs to be done with character recognition and the amount of time before the launcher reads the character.

heyyyyyyyy this launcher is super cool and fluid and very unique I love it, but it would be very nice if you could put a notification badges so it can show us our missed calls or messages from each app. PLEASE I really need it for my business work! I got so many missed clients bc I couldn't see how many people was contacting me. thanks

This is what we call innovative. I certainly loved it but many easier things gone harder. Thers no folders which means you have to remember the name of all the apps. Honestly i d/l and remove so many apps a week. Please add folders so i can put them in a category and pick new apps faster.. love u Nokia anyway

I like this a lot. I'm not really a big app user. Probably only a half a dozen apps really get much use, but I like that this allows me to have a "left" screen (swipe left) that has a couple of widgets (Weather Underground and Google search) and a "right" screen that is basically a list of all apps. The way it learns what apps and people I use frequently makes the letter writing on the home screen very useful, too.

the idea is interesting, the interface is light and clean, but i need an option of turning off the feature of usage-based app list on home screen. also, the scribbling is making app access slower for me. smart grouping and nice alphabetical listing as it's made in aviate serves my needs much better.

(1) I have uninstalled some apps using this launcher but it is still showing them in app list ..why?? (2) When i exit a heavy app it lags to load the homescreen ... it needs to be fixed. (3) Sometimes it wrongly matches the character when i scribble to open app . ..(4) One feature i would love to have is the direct option to change homescreen wallpaper . ..... Fixing these points will make this a stunning launcher... Its still my default launcher for my Moto G4 Plus ..Well Done Nokia Keep it up

Really neat design, but I'd like you to work on a few things: 1. When the gesture displays the probable items it should be a scroll list , so that the users can see all the possible things. 2. How about some folders? 3. Search option in the app drawer would be a nice idea. 4. It'd be great if you add add the Google search bar on the home screen as a widget near the time widget. All in all , great launcher. Welcome back Nokia. Hope this launcher gets better with the final build.

It's an launcher which adopts to the user usage pattern. I need not got to any screen to find my favourite apps. It would most of the time be on my screen or just a gesture of the first letter of the app name will get that app for me on the screen. It's very light. Does consume any ram comparetively to other other so many launcher I have tried....I tried more than 30 launchers on my Nexus 5. Top reason for this launcher 1- light consumes less ram 2- easy access to apps due to adaptive feature 3- unique look feels cool to use it 4- does not prompt me to use the app just cos I installed it.i search for the app I need n I use it. 5-Looks pretty good with good wallpapers and suitable icon pack 6- best way to place widgets

One of the best launcher i have come across, give it a week and trust me you will be addicted to it. Things i expect it to include :double tap lock, scrolling widget page(only 2 widgets can be included now)

Simple, innovative, it just works. I've tried many launchers and preferred highly customizable ones (Apex was old favorite) so I'm surprised I've been super happy with this. Please keep up the great work! A couple suggestions: 1) There's button and swiping for the app list. It's redundant. Keep the button and add a second desktop. 2) 9 and G are poorly recognized, I have to change my handwriting for them. 3) Clock/calendar widget's buggy, can't access calendar sometimes.

A great app. Suits me. Since its a beta u cant expext it to be perfect. But still I wish I could add more widgets and use some of the classic Nokia style wallpapers. Also can u guys please introduce options like grid view for apps and other minor stuff

Definitely one of the best launchers I've used. I really like how much they've simplified launching an app, which is arguably the most important function of a launcher. One issue I've found is that the app drawer doesn't refresh when you uninstall an app, which means that the icon for the uninstalled app will just stay there until you restart your phone or force close the launcher. Still a very good launcher with some unique features and notable for its simplicity.

It does not allow to add shortcuts of apps by long holding them. And wallpapers are keep on changing even if we dont want to. Overall a very nice launcher. Loved it! Saves lots of time. But need a little bit to get used to it!

Hi nokia team its nice to see you in market. This app good and useful. But as i am very old customer with nokia and Lumia would like to give you people some feed back and i think its my duty to tell you so. 1st thing the app is not recognise diffrent between number 0 and alpha o. Second thing along with time area at main screen you people can add stuffs like wether info and some live stuff. Last thing i would like to say at the main screen the recent use app should not be there or it should be optional.

The interface is simple, stylish and super functional. I love the gesture search feature and the overall look. However lately it has slowed down and started crashing. If it works you will fall in love, if it doesn't luckily you won't have to grieve the loss of a splendid interface.

Like the new concept. It needs nearly no configuration or organization, where I would need to keep organizing things with other launchers. It runs pretty snappy, and haven't noticed any performance or battery loss. 5 stars for being a free, full, professionally developed and ad free.

The App is working smoothly on my Galaxy-A3(2015). My phone used to lag, probably due to the heavy UI (i.eTouch Wiz), but with this app, the phone feels a lot smoother. I still have a few complaints though. Touch Wiz, although is very heavy UI, had one of my favourite feature in an UI and that is the ability to hide apps. Plz bring this feature to my new favourite launcher. Thank you.

The launcher is simple and nice. It took a little while to get used to it, but now it's my favorite launcher. Just a few changes can make it really nice. Ability to scribble more than one letter at once will be great. It will improve the speed greatly. Other than this, the the analogue clock is not needed. A handy weather widget instead will be great.

Liked the implementation of scribble. These days all the phones look and work almost the same way. This launcher changes that. My suggestion would be to keep home screen blank for scribbling... There's no need for recent apps or contacts to stay there and form a clutter.

I'll be honest and say, I love this launcher. I've tried to switch back to a traditional launcher and it doesn't feel right. The predictions are sometimes inaccurate which leads to frustration or laughs from my friends, but its really amazing
