Beautiful and efficient launcher. Would have given 5star, but it probably is not updated properly. Many theme icons are not available. And it doesn't accept all the latest icons from play store. But it is still wonderful. Customization are great. Hands down the best for foldable phones. Wide open screen is well covered by wide launcher home. I hope it is still supported. Otherwise, it'll become more and more incompatible with newer icons etc.

Wide Launcher is in a Class of its Own! My home screen must always be a head turner. Most launchers feel like apps that sit in short benches, in line, facing one rid git direction. Wide Launcher is like a park with benches with every view to fit your mood. Moreover, each view can be unique, simple, or revitalizing - you choose. After some tweeking, I created a home screen that was simply breathtaking. Creating it was so much fun that I created another unique theme with my family photos in it.
★★☆☆☆
This app is a thoroughly mixed experience. I did find the customization I was looking for in wallpapers. However, there is zero moderation in terms of the wallpapers that the community posts. You could be scrolling through the recent tab looking for some cool wallpapers and 70% of that is straight up porn. Also, occasionally your wallpapers will just be wiped. When you sign in, it doesn't even restore the wallpaper rooms you had. This is incredibly frustrating and needs to be fixed.

You guys have got to do better. There is no reason all these inappropriate naked XXX girls need to be a theme. It's absolutely disgusting to look for a new theme and see nothing but inappropriate pics of ladies in inappropriate positions. I have been using this app for almost 10 years. It's my go to for every phone. I loved the user themes up until recently. Someone definitely needs to look into this.
★★☆☆☆
I've been using this launcher for a while now I love it so much but recently there's a guy posting pornography on themes section that doesn't seem to get that the app is for kid friendly and won't stop it. Please add a report section, so it gets regulated to be banned or something. It is really disgusting and his reasons for posting is all nonsense please do something to get it removed. Also, there is another person posting kids pornography in themes plz do something ASAP.
