As the name suggests, it's a discreet minimal launcher. Puts your wallpaper right into focus with your choice of icons. Relatively fewer settings as compared to other launchers, but does the job very well. No pesky permissions, no peeking under the hood - just a simple launcher. I have used Nova for some 10 years now before shifting to discreet launcher and am very happy with it. And it's just over an MB in size. Cheers to the developer 👏🏾
★★★★★
Definitely needs support for icon masking and adaptive icons. If an icon pack doesn't support a particular app then the icon is blank. Not good. Would like to see way to modify individual icons, and maybe allow different icons in drawer and favorites too.
★★★★★
This launcher makes old devices blazing fast. Most practical and minimalist launcher ever made, the dev is a genius and better than the devs hired by billion-dollar corporates. This is the best launcher I have used in a decade!
★★☆☆☆
There is a bug on the app list, when I hide my apps and go back to the app list and when I try to open my Facebook it's not opening, instead the app that opens is my YouTube pls fix it
★★☆☆☆
Well this app lacks basic functionality that I need in a launcher. For example, I spent 5 minutes trying to put an icon on my home screen. I finally just gave up and tried to uninstall it and the uninstallation button is greyed out, so I'm going to have to use adb cmds to get rid of it. What is a hassle? Maybe the play store will let me uninstall it there, going to see. Yeah the play store let me uninstall it.
