★★★★★Null Pull· Jun 4, 2026
This launcher is amazing, I keep wanting the samsung original home ui but always think smart launcher is way better, and with icon pack. Just perfect, enough customization for a lifetime, better than any home launcher ive tried ever
★★★★★Kelsey Deruyer· Jun 2, 2026
This app is great! I'm an ex Nova Launcher user and this app makes my phone, so I can customize everything how I want!
★★★★★Catto· Jun 15, 2026
This is the BEST launcher app I've ever tried! There is so much free customizability and it's so cool!
★★★★★Ken R· Jun 2, 2026
Looks Great. I've been a Nova Launcher user fir years but just switched and this app is better. There is a pro version which I'd like to trial - idle this possible? Sometimes you don't know what you're missing until you have tried it.

Hi, I'm facing a big problem. After apps which change their icons or Android Play ID regularly after app updates, like Zedge etc. the app icon gets reset from the manually set custom icon and the app also loses its placement in the dedicated folder and moves out of it to the main screen just like it is a newly installed app. This severely takes away from the nice and smooth hassle-free customized experience of using the app and one has to set it up manually all over again. Please fix the issue.

It's alright but the most annoying thing are the bugs, the UI breaks randomly and then stay broken for an unpredictable time. Sometimes it's so bad I've to switch to the default launcher just to access my apps.
