4 ★ 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.
4 ★ 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.
1 ★ Just a phone launcher like One UI. Not actually ubuntu on mobile
4 ★ not bad I love Linux as a high school student but the app needs lots of work please get the wigets to work on the app so i am able to see the weather forcast on my main screen but keep it up hope the next update will fix it
4 ★ I'm not proud of it, but i rarely rate apps. This app is outstandong though. I would give it 5 stars if it had more Deaktops to emulate. It runs well and looks great.
4 ★ Awesome launcher!! Feels so close to Unity 7!! The only thing is that'd I'd like to be able to link apps and maybe files on "the desktop".
5 ★ I love it lots! It'd be great if it had an Ubuntu Touch theme since this it a phone launcher, but I'm still very happy with what's already here!
3 ★ It worked like it was supposed to but I was quite sad that I couldn't use the elementary os icon pack that I installed as well.
4 ★ It's pretty good I'm running the gnome desktop, couple things you need to add; add your own icon pack and make a way to hide apps.
3 ★ I love the app but give it 3 stars. Apps for the lack of widgets. If the app had widgets I would give it 5 stars.
5 ★ Preety good but have to inckude some of tge widgets like lock screen, clock, etc.
5 ★ great app used it on my prior Z3 phone and continue the usage of the app on the Z4 to sub for the andriod default
4 ★ Should have support to launch apps in freeform mode on Android 7 and 8.
5 ★ This is the best launcher I've ever seen! I hope you add the LXDE,LXQT,KDE and XFCE theme to the app! :D
5 ★ best ever, really feels and looks like linux mint after some minor tweaks. thank you
