Awesome launcher! The dev is awesome and he devs for the people and what they want. Amazing work Ryan! Awesome light weight launcher with all the customization anyone could want with a launcher, and he just keeps adding more to it. Every release is better than the last.

Htc blinkfeed Hi. Love your app but it needs the blinkfeed data. Is it possible to add something like htc blinkfeed with its data on sapphire? Anyway. Thanks. It is awsome.
★★★★★
Amazing UI The performance on this is great and doesn't kill batter but this is only in beta still but still by far the best launcher on here beside google and nova
★★★★★
Nice launcher This is a very good launcher but needs more polishing. The dev is great. Hard working and very supportive. We can hope to get better features in coming times
★★★★★
It is promising,but its features are not polished... The app drawer doesn't look like it belongs in Lollipop(no card background,just a white overlay over the screen edges),the extra home screen is a bit glitchy,etc.
★★☆☆☆
I like the Sapphyx launcher better, but sadly is not supported by my device. I'm stuck with this launcher until the other is supported. But since I'm reviewing, i feel the need to inform the dev that it does no good to have a menu item for icon pack when there's no change in any icons. this launcher is ok, but i would rather use the Sapphyx launcher. Please fix it so my device is supported, please. EDIT: I just removed another Star because this launcher forces us to install another wallpaper picker. What was wrong with just using the system picker? Why do we have to install another just to set wallpaper? it makes no sense. I should reduce my rating to 1 Star just because of that. i don't feel i should have to install another picker just to set a system wallpaper. i may even ditch this launcher just because of this.
★★☆☆☆
Janky janky and more janky This launcher needs a lot of work. I was hoping it would be like GEL but with icon pack support, but it is far from it. The side menu is unattractive and doesn't let you slide back out of it, you have to hit the home button. And the FAB in the upper left is just ridiculous. Especially if you use a big phone. None of it is material, either. I'm not going to use this until it's been further developed.
