Love the idea of this app but you can only manually set apps inside the widgets. I really wanted to have it get the most recently used/most used apps. It has no auto icon population options. But it's good if you just want static icons.

Almost perfect, but the widgets don't refresh on phone restart (had to open the main app). Also! When adding app items, please add an option to filter out apps that are already in another folder! It will greatly help!

I absolutely love this app so far. It keeps my home screen uncluttered and organized. But I'm wondering...is there any plan to allow the badges to show? If not, I will have to find something else even though I really love this one!

After trying numerous other apps this is the only one that could do exactly what I want - fit 14 apps in the space of one row on my home screen, with the option to automatically add an icon pack or customise each icon using desktop visualizer, and without needing a separate launcher. There is also a vertical scroll option, no ugly headers or backgrounds, and no silly limits to the number of widgets you can have or to the number of apps you can add to a widget. The paid-for version gives you options for the size of the donation that you wish to give to unlock full features, all very reasonable. Overall it was super easy to get everything setup exactly how I wanted, even in the free version, and every app launched seamlessly. It was worth giving a donation just to unlock the option to change the icon sizes! Only improvement I could suggest is allowing more columns with a horizontal scroll option, but really the features available make it customisable enough to keep most people happy!

I've been looking for a few days for a widget that would let me make a scrollable box on my screen that lists whatever apps, kind of like fences on windows did. I wasn't finding anything when I stumbled on Launchy... this was exactly what I was looking for! I've organized my desktop in just the way I wanted now. It has many useful options... can choose different border styles/colors, apply custom icons or icon packs within each widget for different looks, show or hide labels, & more. I love it

I like it a lot. And because it's a widget it doesn't screw with your phone and glitching out. It's got a lot of great features without needing to pay. I think it needs two additional features for five stars: allow the scrolling to snap to a grid, that way icons will be always aligned when you swap between pages or neighbouring widgets. Second, the ability to remove the little settings icon that I keep accidentally pressing because it's too close to the app in the upper right corner.
