Review summary

Users praise Pie Control for fast, one-handed navigation and deep customization, and many have used it for years across devices. However, frequent issues center on missing backup/restore, icons randomly changing or disappearing, crashes after updates, foldable/dual-screen compatibility and display problems, and frustrations with subscription pricing and payment errors.

Pros

Very convenient one-handed navigation with pie controls for fast app launching and quick actions.
Long-standing, trusted app with widespread use across devices.
Deep customization options (icon sets, colors, and layout) to tailor the interface.
Effective navigation tool for accessing notifications and switching apps quickly.

Cons

Lack of backup/restore functionality, making it hard to transfer or save custom configurations between devices.
Icons/in-app visuals randomly disappear or change, causing confusion and extra setup.
Stability issues like crashes or settings breaking after updates.
Poor foldable/dual-screen compatibility, with display issues on inner vs outer screens.
Subscription pricing and payment problems, including transaction errors and pressure to upgrade.

2026-03-16	He*****	Older version had everything I needed. Still use it, but at least bring back Restore/Backup functionality. It's a chore to set up on a new phone. Only 10 folder limit is restrictive. Make it more like older version with more icon and color customization...

2025-12-30	Ma*****	I've been using this as one of my bass Android apps for years, I am surprised it was not purchased by Google and Incorporated as it is obviously a superior interface to the old desktop Windows style, which is nowhere near as well suited to one-handed mobile phone operation as Pi control, it's super convenient, however 2 big problems. The icons disappear and default into just letters after a short while, this should not happen. there is no way to save configuration for new phones.

2025-11-27	Ke*****	what happened to backup and restore? I've used this app for over a decade I'm pretty sure. now with a new phone it's useless without going through a ton of work to redo all my custom options. what's the point of very detailed customization without the ability to save that customization????

2025-10-16	Je*****	works great, one of the first apps I download on every phone. however I just got a foldable phone and when the display is open, the items don't show up. it's still vibrates like they are there and I am selecting them, but nothing shows up on the screen so it's hard to tell what apps or what. would love this to be fixed but otherwise great

2025-09-01	Ta*****	App randomly changes icons of the apps once everything is set. It's a bug that wasn't there in previous versions.
