With last android update my apps and folders keep disappearing. Also I can't make or restore from any backups and I can't change the backup file destination location.

Apex now crashes all day, every single day. I cannot go to my home screen at least 5 times per day because Apex is constantly crashing. It's ridiculous. This used to be a decent app, but it has gotten absolutely horrible.

Judging from the reviews I have seen I'm not going to allow this app to update, I remember well how the developers broke ES File Explorer. It seems the same thing is happening here. The updates are broken.

When the new (customizable) version was released, Aug 2018, and automatically updated the classic version, all apps randomly crashed on every device I own. This was a horrific experience, since it took a lot of time to debug and investigate illegal calls, memory leaks, memory management, and error handling. Conclusion: Bad code & Inadequate testing was the major reason for the bizarre application crashes. Who is going to reimburse me for the investigations into your f###ups? You had even the chance to fix it! But you chose not to. I can only say that this will have major consequences.

Works smoothly. It doesn't have the problems the new version with the pro edition have, which I have found to wreak havoc with my phone's system user interface, causing it to frequently freeze or crash. Still having an issue with setting the phone's 4×2 stock weather widget while using Apex Launcher. Apex says, "Not enough room on home screen." It allows me to use the other widgets though, and some of these are also 4×2.

Want to love this, which would be easier if I could import all the settings and icons from Apex Launcher, you know, the one that replaced - without warning in an update - this one, before this one was called "classic"! Each time I try to import from the "not classic" it says no other launchers to import from. Can't even create a backup of the other launcher, so can't try to "restore" from it. Apparently there are no cross-app possibilities between Apex Launcher & Apex Launcher Classic.
