So far DEV has done a good job. Listening to users and implementing it. I have one more suggestion. Ability to add "browser to use" when clicking a url. I have different browser for different needs. Eg: Under bookmark, select edit, add option for "browser to use". This will be very helpful. Thank you again for creating a wonderful app.

I went through the steps, but the icons I added never showed up on the widget. Tried several settings but each time it said "rebuilding launchy widget", and never actually did anything.

I have a problem with adding a crucial application to the widget, because Launchy doesn't find the right one. The application is called Phone (it's the dialer, which is why it's crucial to me). What Launchy finds is 2 applications: Contacts and Phone, but choosing the Phone one actually opens the Contacts one (it finds 2 different names, but adds only one of the apps under both names: com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook). I am using Sony Xperia Z3 which in it's Lollipop update separated the dialer app into Contacts and Phone, each standing on it's own. Due to their idiocy, the Contacts app is missing a shortcut/button to the Phone app (so you can only dial a number if you open the Phone app first, can't do it from Contacts). Therefore, if I add Contacts to the widget, I can't dial a number at all. I realize this is a mistake on Sony's part, but if it's not too much to ask, it would be really nice if you would consider making Launchy find the "real" Phone app (not the com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook one) on Xperia Z3 as well, so Xperia Z3 users can add it to the widget too.

Especially when multiple apps had been installed/updated. There are no sorting features and adding new items sends them to the bottom. If you like keeping things sorted, it's gonna take a bit of effort. It is a decent replacement for app lists though considering the myriad of options it provides with fonts and icon pack support being the most notable of them all.

This app is nice, like a second homescreen for your homescreen. Infinite scroll could be improved but beyond that it does as advertised and does it well.
