I got a message saying the app had crashed, with RIP and a nice graphic. I was unable to uninstall the app and had to download a different launcher (Nova Launcher) which I actually prefer. OpenLauncher also had an issue where it would not be able to display icons on the home screen properly. They'd become cropped on the top and bottom, and the only way to get them back to normal was to lock and then unlock the home screen. I also noticed the digital clock widget kept disappearing.

I am in love with this launcher. App permission are minimum. No full network connection is required. Really love this launcher

I like this launcher and look forward to seeing it developed further. Improvements I would like to see include being able to assign individual icons to individual apps (and not just applying an entire icon pack, as it is now), and having the home button close menus and drop to desktop rather than have them stay open.

Perfect just the way it is. No unnecessary permissions or features, works well, attractive and flexible interface.
