This is a fantastic launcher. I got the Xiaomi Mi 9, and the stock launcher doesn't have an app drawer. I didn't want all my apps spread throughout each page. Of course there many launcher out there. I came across this one also from Xiaomi. When I saw it was not only for the Pocophone, I decided to try it. It's perfect for me. It not only has the app drawer but it is quick, light, and full of options. It's a perfect complement to my Mi 9!

I know, this is a best launcher for clean and fresh UI. But it has some bugs also. I have POCO X2. 1. When unlocking your phone some shuttering will be there 2. Leg in the app drawer. 3. After MIUI 12 update, slow motion is not working on 120 and 240 fps. 4. And the main an important thing is it doesn't supports MIUI 12 animation and Android 10 gestures.

On Poco X3 nfc Things were doing somewhat fine then the update hits . 1. After opening YouTube from app drawer when you use the home gesture, it takes you back to the opened app drawer, we have to swipe up again for home. 2. If YouTube is open you can not turn off reading more from top drop down, switch to another app and the it works. 3. Why I'm not using the in-app feedback? Because I don't want to register with another service like MI Cloud

Needs to have a update I have a lg stylo 4 and not every time but a lot of the time when I go to my home screen the launcher glitches out and doesn't load my apps. The only way I have been able to combat this issue is to open multi task window but it doesn't always work. Other this this problem I have with it i love this launcher it's very clean looking and quick

Horrible utilization of screen space in every menu. Very basic icon limits are omitted. Needs to be more streamlined with more user options. Icons are spread far out and accessing launcher settings takes one too many swipes. Unecessary extras (which may benifit some users,) are too easy to engage. We just want a clean and simple homescreen, dock, and App Drawer interface with every option under the sun. I will say this app has the most compact icon labeling of the Launchers I've tried thusfar

Moving apps around is so unnecessarily complicated. Hold the screen on a blank space, select the app you want to move, and then go out of that menu to move it. If you use any icon pack and there isn't a custom icon for said app, the launcher moves the app icon to the bottom right and makes a circle into a 3 sided shape with a curve. So if I like a game and put it in the home menu, it'll look so out of place. Although, it looks nice without those apps. But I don't like this launcher at all. Reee

Just recently downloaded this launcher & so far very happy with it. I like the easy access to the apps in the drawers. Only issue is that the bottom line of apps on the screen does not work, easily bypassed by sliding up the drawer, except for the poco settings icon. I took a vacation and went to the Nova launcher for a bit, which I enjoyed, but favorites are favorites so I have returned.

I typically don't leave reviews unless something really is fantastic or really sucks. This launcher is the former and is absolutely fantastic!!! I absolutely LOVE the quick sort of apps by color. It's amazing how my mind will remember the color of an app icon faster then the name or by searching alphabetically. This is seriously the most clever thing I have ever seen in a launcher! My only feedback is that time on the homescreen is in 24 hour mode with no way to switch to 12 hour mode, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Thank you Xiaomi for the best launcher ever!

This is an amazing launcher. Some of the reasons I love it is because it not only matches most other launchers, but it goes beyond with easy cache cleaning, app sorting, and app hiding. One feature I would love though would be the possibility to add apps to the different categories. If the launcher puts an app in one category, you can't move it to a different one if the launcher put it in the wrong one.

Why I would use it: Automatically sorts the Icons into categories. Brilliant! First time I've seen this. This alone makes it very attractive. Why I wouldn't use it: Not many options to configure settings but that's the developer's intent. And...the deal breaker: Those damn badges. Hate them. Always have. Since I couldn't find any way to disable them I had to uninstall the app. Oddly enough, this is one of the most taylorable features! 5 stars for doing what it says though.

It is an upgrade coming from MIUI launcher. By adding the double tap to lock and a drawer. But it still missing some good stuffs, it is not possible to change the icon for one app. Ex:MiCamera and Gcam using same icon. Or some apps won't have a dedicated icon. It is not possible to hide apps on the drawer unless by creating a locked folders which had headaches for a simple thing. I like the pages system in the drawer, but again, why it is not possible to move the full app list on the right.

Hi. The layout of your launcher is still not displaying properly on devices that do not have a navigation bar on rely on gestures to navigate their operating system. Can you guys please correct this in an update? Can we have the ability to change the shape of the folder icons as well? Really don't like the square ones. Please reopen the beta program. I would really like to join.

Aesthetically it's very pretty and smooth. I'd say it may be as light as Lean Launcher or Evie. One thing really bothers me and it's enough to knock it down 2 stars, in my opinion. That is - There's no way to get to App Info from the launcher. To view an app's data usage, storage usage, battery usage, etc. you have to go through settings. So, for now, I'm going back to something else.

It's not the most customizable launcher available but it's free and basically just an upgraded version of the stock MIUI launcher. It has an app drawer and the extremely useful feature to filter the apps by the color of their icon and is the main way I find my apps. The app search is also a really reliable quick backup if you don't want to use colors since it's at the bottom of the screen, easy to reach. Simple, but it just works.

I'm generally not the type of user to fuss around or customize a lot. But my screen got so out of control between my glitchy theme and loss of some of my favorite icons/shortcuts and the amount of apps I use (and get curious enough about to install) I wanted a quick fix. This launcher was about the best "fix" I could ask for. I love the drawer, the hidden icons option, etc. Xiaomi is an amazing organization! Keep up the great work! ππΌπππΌ

It works well as a launcher, but every now and then it will take a copy of contact shortcut on my home screen and place it on a new screen all the way to the right. It just randomly does this, sometimes after reboots, sometimes just during normal use, a new screen will show up and it will have a contact shortcut in it. Even if I lock the desktop so that nothing can be accidentally moved/copied and it still does it.

So overall it's ok. Not impressed, no features.. I would like to be able to move icons around in app drawer and when they're in groups automatically be able to put ones where I want. Secondly the Launcher seems to have issues with messenger and my icon disappearing from the home screen and my texts sending and disappearing. It should not interfere with my other apps.. So I'm deleting this one and on to find a better one.

The experience is completely fine, but I really don't understand why everyone loves this launcher. Yeah the animations are smooth and everything works as it should, but it doesn't do anything special. It doesn't support icon masking, and you can't select individual icons for ones which aren't themed. It's overall kind of just average, Nova and Apex launcher are just better. Even the Microsoft launcher has more features than this one.

Awesome! Very easy to personalize, been using it for just a few weeks and loving it :) Just one small problem. When you choose a wallpaper in the home screen, if you have more than one page of home apps, it stretches the wallpaper. But if you set the wallpaper in the regular settings it looks fine. Not a huge problem but definitely could be fixed. Other than that, incredible launcher!

AMAZING APP!!!!!! If you're looking for an amazing launcher, this is the one. It has a built in cleaner and makes my phone (Moto X) so much faster! If you download a new app, just take the icon and remove it and put it back and it will work with any icon pack. I recently sent a review with 3 stars and can't figure out how to delete it so if someone could pls help.
