UPDATED 9/13/17: Updating to Android 8.0 Oreo makes it impossible to create new Scenarios - app will immediately crash. --- Excellent app that, combined with Nova Launcher, has allowed me to hide pretty much all my apps and just bring them up when most necessary. Only feature-add wishes are multiple triggers for a bar (i.e., when I connect my bluetooth headphones OR wired headphones), and set notification priority order for bars, so I can keep my Always Active bar at the top.

This is an excellent idea for a launcher. Contextual in nature and with Tasker integration you can create many different scenarios. I only use the widget, which could do with some customisation. It should be possible to make the brown bar transparent. It should be possible to hide the icon descriptions. Right now needs more frequent updates.

Time trigger doesn't work. Starts up fine but won't shut off. As of 3/5/16, the app crashes when I try to add apps to a scenario. I tried all of the usual fixes, nothing worked. Please fix. Uninstalling app until then.

I had tried all kinds of launchers and they all seemed to have spam and drain the battery quickly. Sloth launcher is just what I wanted, no more, no less.

Amazing does what I need especially since samsung removed my places widget that did this exact same thing. The only issue I wish there would be an update to this app its been awhile.

When I go to add apps to a scenario, after I've scrolled about halfway down the app list, Sloth Launcher crashes. So I'm unable to add the apps I need to the scenario.
