Good if you like unity 7. Ps I dropped Ubuntu when they dropped Unity. Wish it worked on Samsung Dex.

I think this is a fantastic app. Using it on my Pixel. I use Linux everyday at work and home. I may be an IT guy, but I hate most phone launchers, so I'm super grateful for this simple, straightforward launcher. Support for multiple desktops and widgets would be nice but isn't necassary - maybe moreso on a tablet. Of course it would tickle me greatly if there were a KDE5 theme, but I can't even begin to complain. You have made me happy today. 😁

Fun to play with but it seems to reduce functionality at the expense of esthetics. Don't get me wrong, I love the way the Gnome and Pantheon DE's look but they don't really add anything to my experience from what I can quickly tell. One bug I did notice, if you switch between different desktop environments the back button will take you back to the previously selected environment, especially from the home screen. Keep up the good work, possibly even figure out how to implement Linux software.

My review was deleted apparently. Great job accepting criticism. So here it is again. This launcher, though nostalgic, is nearly featureless and not worth your time. You could pick any "Lite" launcher on Play and still get more than 10 times the features, even during their beta. It's practically a demo and the app description is just bloat. I understand your passion and nostalgia for Linux, but this is a kid's project. EDIT: Right-click menu IS a submenu...so yes Linux does.

I really like this launcher, except there is a couple problems that need fixing, like the innablity to uninstall apps through it, and in the gnome theme, after unpinning an app, the Ubuntu settings icon appears on the end of the launcher bar.

Thank you for not being a cash grab! The other one I tried out that didn't require rooting was worse and a giant cash grab! I'm upset that I've tried so hard to root my phone with no luck. :( This is a little more fun than the regular home screen.
Cristobal Rendon
Overall a joy. It will def feel more natural once you tinker with some of the setting, but I love the vibe this launcher gives my phone. True to linux fashion, no ads! I'm rocking it on my phone full time now.

except cinnamon theme, the other ones are buggy.(1) In all the other themes, there is a home button and an applications tab...both of which does the same work..display a list of installed apps !! (2) The other 3 themes have a shut down like tab which shows launcher properties. Does not make any sense
Shailesh Paranjpe
Very good experience. Its fast, aesthetically good. A few improvement are needed. Most importantly, Screen lock gets disabled while using this launcher which cannot be accepted.
