Thanks for the updates! And the most needed enhancements. Thanks for the updates, much appreciated as always! Things that could be improved: 1: Scrolling to the widget page and to the search page should be more fluid and smoother. 2: Opening a folder animation is choppy could be improved. 3: Opening folder should expand wallpaper. 4: Closing and opening apps animation should be like iphone or iLauncher. Thanks again for this launcher!
