## Review summary

Most-mentioned points across reviews include: auto-close/disappear issues; a strong demand for more customization (drawer count, colors, sides, per-drawer capacity); stability/persistence problems and boot/background behavior; compatibility with various devices/OS versions and lack of ongoing updates; and the desire for easier removal/rearrangement of apps and faster app selection.

### Pros

- Useful, straightforward concept for quick access to apps via edge drawers.
- Easy to use with a clean, minimal interface.
- Promising idea with potential for future customization and improvements.

### Cons

- Drawer auto-closes or disappears after opening or sitting idle, making it unreliable.
- Insufficient customization options (few drawers and apps per drawer, limited color/placement options, and basic settings).
- Stability and persistence issues (doesn’t stay active, unreliable background operation, random glitches).
- Device/OS compatibility and lack of ongoing updates (reports of problems on Realme 6, Pie, and overall abandonment).
- Hard to remove or rearrange apps inside drawers; app selection can be slow; not intuitive management.
