This launcher app is delightful in every way I can imagine! When I used it to replace the Pixel Launcher it felt like I had bought a new phone ♥️! I was able to put all of my apps on my home screen without any distractions. 20% more screen real estate! My only regret is that I didn't find Lynx earlier! One small feature request would be too have a setting for the folder window opacity. I'd prefer the folder windows to be opaque so that I didn't see the app icons from behind showing through.

Frustrating to customize. The settings don't seem to do anything, it's very hard to navigate or even figure out how to place applications. They've based their entire navigation around swipes, when Android already overrides those with different swipes. Just makes it feel like you're fighting your phone.

I love this launcher even though I've only used it for less than a day. the only issue I've found is that when using the search function, it opens a chrome tab instead of opening in the Google app. if that's possible to change, that would be awesome. other than that, I love this launcher, but I'll have to wait until that feature gets added.
