I want to like this launcher, because it looks so neat and is slightly different from other stock-like launchers, but I have two issues. First, the app drawer scrolling lags. And secondly, the icons are too tiny for my 6.3 inch screen with no option to change icon size. I can live with minimal customizations, but these two are the reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.

Given the aim of this launcher I expected good performance, but unfortunately it's not even close to usable on my HTC u11 Eyes. Can't dismiss app drawer (even by tapping back/home), long press on home screen worked once and never again, tapping google search bar does nothing... Not sure how it worked for others, so I hope the dev(s) can figure out what's going on. Oh, and it says "it's a nice day" when it was in fact an average day, obviuos bug.

the first thing I've noticed when opening the launcher itself is that annoying search bar that can't be moved to the top of my screen. This is exactly why I left the pixel launcher for Nova, a few other things while there are icons on the screen they're not properly labeled for Google's accessibility talkback screen reader. and if the docs icons can be increased that would be awesome, I would love to give this particular home screen replacement a try but it does need some work..
