I am going to agree with others about this launcher. It really is the best of its kind! And I make it a point to test out a lot of different customization apps often. But I am also unable to uninstall applications with the long press. When I click on uninstall, nothing happens so I have to go into my settings to delete apps. I also agree with another reviewer that custom icon packs are very needed (would also pay to upgrade if this was added). It's a great launcher otherwise!

Really minimalistic app which seamlessly merges with the native launcher keeping its basic functionality intact. It's cool to be able to accommodate a large number of apps inside the dock. The app hiding and locking feature is great for such a neat little app! However, one cannot completely hide Settings because the visible icon still can be tapped from the pull-down screen and explored.

My favorite launcher because it's lightweight and fast. Only one problem: it doesn't work with the "clone app" feature in my Alcatel phone. This means I can't open a second instance of, let's say WhatsApp, because the cloned app it's not displayed in the list of all my installed applications. Other launchers work ok with this feature on my phone. I hope this gets sorted out.
