I used to think this is a 5 star app. It was really helpful for a while, but just today, the app disappeared my finch app. And no matter how many times I force it to stop and reinstall the launcher, it won't display my finch app. This is very annoying because I've had this happen before with other apps, but a quick reinstall always fixed the problem. Now, nothing is bringing it back. And I use both of these apps on a daily basis.

I used to use minimal phone for a simple home screen but I didn't like paying for it. After trying multiple "minimal home screen" apps, this one is one of the best. I can choose different fonts, colors, and widgets, and I love it! The only thing I would change is, if you don't have the year/day in progress widgets on, the home screen apps should be moved up so that there's not an empty space. Also, maybe a built in search engine feature.
