Lightning Launcher for Android
This is my first non-default launcher. I am impressed with what it could do plus it has a Tasker plugin. Excellent flexibility and I haven't turned expert mode on yet. Revised: Turned expert mode on to work with the scripts. Very impressive.
crashes on tv box. will not start even once.
Looks like everything works with Oreo now. Still the most customizable launcher out there.
Awesome! I can modify it the way I want..
Simply the Best!! ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? Merry Christmas! Pierre! The best App in the playstore!
rare updates
Paid user. Nexus 6P.. For last week or so it keeps dying - much more often than it used to. Not sure if due to LL update or Google update. Like ability to resize icons, and control grid size for precise control over placements. Love the virtual desktop and ability to put pages anywhere and scroll in all directions. [Update 2017-12-20] Has been solid on Pixel XL w/ Oreo.
IF you like customizing your phone's desktop, home screens, themes, icons, etc, then I highly recommend this. I've spent hours customizing and have been impressed. KWGT Widget also makes this an awesome experience! CONS: Cannot double-tap to lock my phone. Launcher's "Lock-Screen" is very glitchy. Icon Pack could have a better UI. Not a fan of the APP Drawer either..
Launcher gives the Ability to Customize; Lockscreens, Wallpaper, Icon/App; Size/Shape/Folders ... Flip Desktops infinetely Vertically/Horizontally/Diagonally... And, if You screw-up Your Launcher fooling-around, You can go back to a Previously Saved "Backup"... Unbelievable, UnReal, Must Have Android App. Only Wish Android had an App which is the equivalent to "Windows Restore", so if You get a Virus on Your Phone, You could "Restore" it the same way it was before downloading an infected file.
This has to be by FAR the best launcher ever made. However, it is absolutely in compatible with Android versions from 7 up, with Android Oreo is practically unusable. And it seems that the developer abandoned the project. So my best advice is to keep away and use something else something up to date, don't waste your money on this.
Changing to Nova because it doesn't work with KLWP properly, especifically the scrolling part, even when the scrolling for the wallpaper has been enabled. Another thing is that I noticed that when using in conjunction with KLWP is less responsive than with Nova.
Lots to appreciate about just how versatile this launcher is. Your desktop can look exactly how you want it. It's extremely customizable. Editing anything can be tedious because of the slow fade-in animation every menu has, which can't be disabled. The app drawer is clunky, ugly, and difficult to customize. On initial installation, about eighty percent of the icons were blanked out in app drawer, requiring a great deal of time just to fix them one by one.
It no longer lets me edit widget sizes and is getting infuriating to use. Also no longer seems to put in new windows just by moving an icon into space. It used to be my favourite launcher; now I'm beginning to hate it because it's too awkward to customise
I've installed and uninstalled this so many times I've lost count. I can tell there is a lot of potential with this launcher, but you shouldn't have to watch a YouTube video to learn how to configure it. I guess if you like to spend more time configuring your phones desktop, than actually using it, this might be for you.
I used to have some issues with this launcher but they have seemed to be resolved in updates. The options are limitless. If you like customizing or want to learn this is a good app to mess around with.
Nice app with potential to get 5 stars. One drawback and at the same time suggestion to the developer is to implement widget preview before selecting and applying because now we have no idea of what widget will look like.
Have potential, but adding the simplest things are a pain in the arse. Then when you spend 6 hours with a screen and one morning it disappears and you can't recover it you leave a one star review. Not worth the money and effort. Uninstall
The feature set, support and quality of this software is truly World Class. Hats off to Pierre for his dedication and his remarkable skill set! Not sure how, but this keeps getting better!
This is without a doubt a launcher for pros, you won't find simplicity here and your launcher will look as good as you make it to be, it requires time and patience but it can look however you desire not to mention the features other launchers can't possibly give you. 4 star only because the guides don't help much, the dev should get more support for this app and it seems like it's not updated as frequent as it should.
Bit difficult to set up at times, but by far the most customizable launcher on the market, and the one that uses the least resources. I like it! Update; keep coming back to this powerful launcher, think it's the best.
Love this app, you can customize everything. Could do with more up to date video tutorials. Not sure if it is still being supported and updated. Please keep this app going.
Brilliant - really makes every launcher look amateur. At first, it may seem like a bland launcher, but once you learn the ropes, you come to realize the features here are truely remarkable. This launcher is lightweight, HIGHLY customizable, and has more in-depth customizability than any launcher on the play store! Plus - it can further be endless with KLWP. Additionally constant updates makes this a perfect launcher for anyone needing to step into a bigger world of homescreen possibilities. The UI could use some polishing, but the overall product makes nova look a generation behind. REQUEST: I have a small request, can you please implement a smoother scrolling setting? I love how lightning feels, however at times when I'm mindlessly scrolling between pages, I feel there is a blocky feel. I fixed it with a script, but I do think it would be a nice polish.
The best! Must consider ability to move things like action bar and other such barsdo buttons to the bottom of the screen rather than top as screens get bigger and tougher to reach the top
No update for a very long time, seems like developer has given up on this launcher, such a shame
By far most flexible launcher. Takes some time to learn, but very logically organized. Only launcher that allows separate portrait and landscape designs. Folders could be easier, and misses an easy way for unread batches. But easily solved with Notifyer app.
Sadly had to uninstall because it has several bugs and glitches that never get fixed. Maybe it's been abandoned. I'll be switching back to Nova for now.
awesome homescreen. so many options for configuration I doubt I'll ever use it's full potential
Great Launcher, give it some time and you'll get to grips with what makes it great, wish there were more options for unread count badges (which apps they work with) but other than that.
I love this launcher. No matter what phone I may have to end up using, I can have my desktop just the way I want it. I even built a widget to look just like one I liked but wasn't working that well.
Superb flexibility. The most versatile launcher I've come across. Lots of features not in most launchers like panels, single desk top view and more!
I can't seem to restore my backup. I just keep getting a blank page. My desktops are all empty
Superb launcher! There's no way for somebody with a little practice in this to not love it. You have to try, nothing more to be hooked with it.
Lightweight, fast, very customizable, my #1 for years!!
Looks like this thing is finally dead, what a mess
I have never come across any launcher with this much minute level of customisation and raw power. Kudos to the developer.
I bought this app quite awhile ago and the more I use it, the more amazing I realize it us. Best purchase I ever made from the app store. Bravo!
Be aware - you can not change settings without immediate connection to Google Play (lic. validation).
This is a great launcher but recently all Google apps don't have an icon, just a little placeholder. Besides that, this launcher is great.
This is without a doubt a launcher for pros, you won't find simplicity here and your launcher will look as good as you make it to be, it requires time and patience but it can look however you desire not to mention the features other launchers can't possibly give you. 4 stara only because the guides don't help much and the website doesn't work.

I've been using this launcher for a few years now. Here and there a few bugs and glitches but everythings fixed so far. At least for me. Still works on android 7. Keep up the good work!
