4 ★ nope ,not the best by far reaches. slide launcher by sf apps is better. completely free no ads and all functions work. all of the customizable features are disabled. how do you decide if its purchase worthy if you cannot use most of the features? somewhat suspect.

5 ★ Amazing application. Very well thought out. A very reasonable price for the premium version, although the free one is good enough for most.

5 ★ Great app! I'm switching between apps fater and more easily than ever. However there is the number of shortcuts that I'm not able to add to the app zone and I'm not quite sure why. Would love for them to be there, but still a 5/5.

4 ★ The app is great works fantastic. But it would be awesome if we can change the size of the icon from small, tiny, Normal, large and also if you can also add the floating option would be nice.

5 ★ The design is good. But loading apps from it causes additional delay, showing an "app is starring" for like a second long for a device with Q865 processor, unlike if loading directly from launcher without such delay.

5 ★ Good app, but with the latest updates i get delay in opening some apps...not always.. it's random. Never had this problem with first builds. Edit: i noticed that the delay (1-2 seconds) is only when launching an app from the Nova Launcher home screen. If i switch between apps the delay is not present. Maybe it's Nova Launcher's foulth. You are right. Then i didn't notice this on first builds. Changed to 5 stars. Thanks.

5 ★ Amazing! I love how reliable this app launcher is. I never use my app drawer anymore. I don't know what I would do without it. Would love to see an "open in pop up" option for certain apps.

5 ★ This is probably the best side launcher available. It is fast, super customisable, and convenient. Once you have spent a bit of time setting up different "zones" with the groups of app you use more regularly (e.g. work, games, banking, social, etc...) you will be launching your apps in no time. The developer is also super approachable for suggestions, either via these reviews in Google Play or directly from the dedicated post in the XDA Online Forums.

3 ★ Zones not sorted per saved setting. Zones hard to select and switch with only dots. I wish there are better identifier for zones as it is hard to be distinguished with only dots.

3 ★ It's one great app and more importantly the team is very responsive and helpful in dealing with any issue. Few points are still to be incorporated but till date it's a good utility. Looking forward for a end-end complete adaption in the app. Thanks guys.

5 ★ Very very useful. It is one of the fastest app laucher. It is extremely useful app for people with a lot of apps in their phones.

5 ★ I used SwipePad for several years. This app is much faster than SwipePad and has much more functions.

5 ★ Best sidebar app launcher I have used so far. Lots of customizations and some slick animations. Well worth the price asked. Developer listened and added the ability to change the app icon per app! 5 stars for you! Note: typo of "bakground" under Appearance Settings -> "Theme & bakground"

5 ★ The easiest feature full side/overlay launcher you need. Don't even waste your time trying the other ones.

4 ★ I have to congrats you for the app that you made. The design, interactions, features of the app, the functionalities I'll just add one thing that really concerns me and that is the privacy, if you could just open source the code that will be unbluring anyones doubts about it.
