Device compatibility
This launcher may or may not work correctly depending on your device and Android version. It is guaranteed to work on the Nexus 4 and 5. Sadly, AOSP Launcher3 does not support tablets due to missing code for landscape orientation. I tried to make it work as best as I could on the Nexus 7 but it is far from how Google intended the launcher to behave. I’m not expecting to create big workarounds in order to keep the code easily updatable from AOSP. Look for alternatives on the Play Store by developers that are more comfortable with changing the AOSP code.

Frequently asked questions
• The application icons on my device are not the same as on KitKat devices, what gives?
The icons do not come from the launcher, generally. Some launcher might change the icons around but that is not what Launcher+ is about.
• Why am I missing the transparent lockscreen/status bar/buttons?
Transparency is dependent on your Android version. If transparency is available KitKat Launcher+ will make use of it. Guaranteed to work on Android 4.4.

Known issues
• Icon size is locked in the drawer in landscape on tablets (to prevent issues)
• Google Search Bar does not work as intended in landscape on tablets
• On some devices the launcher just refuses to work.

Long time user, I too lost my screen setup due to the update. Backup should really be standard since dev doesnt really check updates before releasing them to the play store.

I don't like the really fancy information overload launchers. This one doesn't have a million things everywhere completing for attention. So I love it. Nice.. And the apps are in a separate area from the widgets!? YES!!

Best KitKat launcher ever... Only one problem: when in landscape mode you can't uninstall or remove apps. Also this app needs icon packs.

I finally got the 99% accurate kitkat stock launcher for my phone because it has its own launcher that did not look like a kitkat stock launcher. 99 because it has the preference settings on the menu. I thought it would open the system settings app.

This launcher is amazing on my LG G2! It is very easy, fluid, and there is no stutter or lab, I love this launcher. The only thing that I would like to see is the Lollipop version of the launcher, to fit in with my 5.0.2 on my G2. Overall, great launcher!

The title says it all I hope it gets fixed soon cause this is really a great launcher

Z70%

Its great if you want the look and feel of Google now launcher. Its not same in terms of opening google now by swiping from main screen and the "ok google" feature is not present. Overall its a good launcher for those who want to use google now launcher, but, are experiencing some lag while using it.

H70%
by H####:

Only downside is it's still KitKat based, if it was Lollipop based, it would be 5 stars

O70%
by O####:

The size of the icons are enlarged and can not be miniaturised using the icon size slider

X70%
by X####:

As warned in the update notes, the latest update reset all settings to default. Lost all app shortcuts and widgets. Make a backup before updating! The fixed screen number also resets to the number that you have icons on... ignoring any setting you put in manually (deletes empty screens). Fast response by the developer, and now fixed. Great launcher.

I installed this on my cheap little RCA tablet. I was looking for something light, with decent features, and has a real app drawer. I like the dynamic screen setting. I will update this review after I've used this app for a couple weeks.

by U####:

Please update it to the Lollipop version. Or even make a totally different app for Lollipop users.

Just updated my N5, and although the soft keys and status bar are still transparent, they are now a darker shade than the rest of the screen. Can this be fixed?

Q70%
by Q####:

I wanted something that allowed 3 things, removing search bar from all screens as it took up way to much space. Reduce icon size so I could have what I wanted on home screen. My home screen now contains a calender widget (resized) and scroll-able agenda mode, stock email widgets that shows combined view of every email account without having to open email app. and 9 most commonly used apps. Rarely do I every have to leave this screen! Great job!
