## Review summary

Users praise Folder in Folder for strong organizational help, nested folders, and reliable auto-tagging of games, plus a Nova-like folder experience across launchers. Common drawbacks include inability to rearrange existing home screen folders, alphabetical-only sorting, purchase gating for extra folders/shortcuts, device-specific icon/theming issues, and occasional usability concerns.

### Pros

- Great for organizing apps and home screen folders; users find it very useful and time-saving for arranging apps and shortcuts.
- Auto-tagging of apps (e.g., reliably detecting games) helps categorize apps with minimal effort.
- Supports nested folders (folders within folders), enabling deeper and more flexible organization.
- Brings Nova launcher-style folder functionality to other launchers, expanding folder capabilities beyond stock launchers.
- Typically described as intuitive and self-explanatory for organizing apps and folders.

### Cons

- Cannot reorganize existing home screen folders or drag existing folders into a new top-level folder; moving items between home screen folders is not supported.
- Sorting is limited to alphabetical order; there is no option for other sorting methods or manual reordering.
- Feature/purchase gating; adding more than a small number of folders or shortcuts often requires purchases, leading to frustration.
- Icon/theming limitations on some devices (e.g., Xiaomi Redmi) and difficulties with icon customization on those devices.
- Some users report usability and intuitiveness issues, describing the app as not intuitive or hard to use.
