Used it for years. Makes my phone experience far less clunky (is that a word¿). There may be other similar apps, but Circle launcher is always one of the first apps I install on a new phone. I usually just make the icon transparent and just use an area on my desktop for opening, which also grants a better view of whatever wallpaper I'm using. It's just great. Thank you developers.

Great app, I've been using it on and off for years. It still functions as promised which leads me to this 5-star review. I currently have the LG v60 dual screen, and use the stock home screen, so it works well for me.

Small but quick in function. UPDATE in 2023: Now using on my latest phone, the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Problems with icons too small & cannot adjust to normal size! NOT being updated on a PAID app.

I've used Circle Launcher for years. Loved it, great app. But it seems this app has been abandoned. Last updated in 2018 and sadly no longer compatible with newer Android versions.
