Its a differant style of launcher. But its grown on me i can open applications alot faster and it comes without bloat. Really amazing launcher
when people say lightweight they dont mean its great for ram but for storage. Its not 250kb the google play is 447kb, f-droid is 449kb. The total memory it will eat up is 16mb which automatically removes it as lightweight because many other luncers do the same thing. i do not think it will save your battery if you hate background apps running like this one. Fast? nope because again it is just another launcher that will take 16mb of memory. This does not go fast, less code does not make something go fast.
The launcher is good but alphabet sorting is wrong I mean apps with letter A start at the bottom and apps with Z start at the top.
This is my go to launcher on Android.
Pros
-clean (this is subjective, I love having almost nothing on my home screen, see here: https://imgur.com/a/3hXgeV7)
-extensible (now has support for ONE widget, gestures, transparency effects, and icon themes)
-fast(Literally the more you use it, the better it becomes. You can set up your history to populate by usage, and the most recent selections will occur.
Cons
-I also can't get rid of that little circle that indicates the typing prompt. I get why it still remains, but I'd rather it come in with the 'tap to show history' gesture. Perhaps a future option?
This Launcher is very simple and its
it has weakness like :
so i will just give 3 stars
Very simple, light and easy to use ! And it's a free software :)
