User Reviews

Reviews show a mix of positive sentiment and notable issues. The app is viewed as a good, potentially useful Android TV launcher with some praise for performance when it works. However, frequent update problems, reliability/hang issues, and device compatibility limitations recur across multiple reviews, driving most negatives.

Pros

Generally positive reception: reviewers frequently describe the launcher as good or great and praise its concept.
Noted to work fast and smoothly when functioning.
Seen as feature-rich with useful launcher capabilities.
Some reviewers express strong personal liking of the launcher.

Cons

Update-related instability: frequent update requests, updates that break functionality (e.g., on Shield TV), and frustration at not being able to block updates.
Reliability/performance problems: hangs, slow startup, and unresponsive behavior reported by multiple users.
Device compatibility issues: certain devices (e.g., Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K) cannot enable the app or experience broken behavior after updates.

Recent reviews

People hates this app very much. Remember, this is just a older version of the Android TV home screen app. If I could switch to a older launcher or the new launcher, it would be awesome.
