recently switched to Ruthless Launcher, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance. The interface is sleek, customizable, and incredibly user-friendly. It offers a wide range of themes, widgets, and gestures, allowing me to personalize my device like never before. The launcher is lightning-fast, with smooth animations. Cheers to the developer.

Cool light launcher! I used Nova and Action launcher alot. Now I'm using this one since 4 months and i like it more than other ones. Thank you developer for your work. I love the transition animations so much. And it's lite and stable! What is missing: the option to create orders in the app drawer (some basic function but very useful). And some more gesture options would be great. For example option to launch an action for third party apps with gestures.

This app has improved since I first downloaded it, excellent customisation without compromising on aesthetics and ease of use. Would recommend to those who like Nova but can't be bothered to go through every customisation. Being able to backup settings to Google Drive gives me peace of mind that the time I took to set everything up won't be lost.
