User Reviews

Stario is praised for its smooth, minimalist UI and fast performance, plus handy RSS feed features. However, common drawbacks include widget management limitations (no easy deletion), lack of icon/icon-pack customization, slow or irregular updates, and stability issues with glitches/crashes. Overall it delivers a clean, efficient experience but falls short on customization and ongoing maintenance.

Pros

Smooth interface and responsive performance
Minimalist, clean, modern UI
Lightweight and fast launcher
RSS feed integration is a useful feature

Cons

Widget management limitations: cannot delete or easily remove widgets (no trash option)
Icon customization missing: app icons and icon packs cannot be changed
Infrequent updates / maintenance: app appears abandoned or not updated for long periods
Bugs and stability issues: glitches and occasional crashes (e.g., widget-related problems)

Recent reviews

This is overall a nice concept. I really think this could be something great with a few tweaks. I like it so far. This is a smooth experience. I couldn't figure out how to remove .rss feeds once used. 4.7 out of 5 stars 🤩 definitely worth checking out.

it was good but we don't get any new updates kind of feels like using stock android well this app was great with kwgt using since 1 year ... if devlopers add liquid glass like folders and theme it would be too great launcher hope they'll add this soon 🍀
