★★★★★ This would be the perfect launcher if you were able to add folders in the app drawer, would rate 5 stars if you were able to do this

★★★★★ Good old Pixel Launcher. Really hope I can customize the weather forecast though.

★★★★★ To many bugs the glance weather widget showing different weather from the widget Notifications disappearing. Please fix this launcher

★★★★★ Great launcher. Keeps my phone going and organized like a beautiful flowing ballet dancer.

★★☆☆☆ Horrible can't remove at a glance from launcher top home screen lack of options compared to Samsung uninstall apps and such poor themes

★★☆☆☆ It's really good but could be perfect. Let us hide apps. Let us remove the weather widget.

★★☆☆☆ Can't get rid of Google search bar and at a glance widget. Shame.
