Accessibility and User Comments:

Starting with v1.1 the launcher is fully accessible and supports TalkBack actions for opening settings, the app list, and managing apps.

Adding apps to the home screen is a little different from what you are used to in standard launchers. By default, the home screen shows 4 app placeholders, which can be increased or decreased as needed in the launcher settings. An installed app can be selected for the placeholder using the TalkBack actions or by a long press.

Last Tested App version and Android version:

1.2. Android 14

    Meanwhile the launcher is also available as a slightly modified version on Google Play.

    Buon Launcher per chi vuole un aspetto minimale del telefono senza distrazioni. Si può aggiungere un opzione per avere uno sfondo diverso ogni giorno? Spero che questo Launcher non venga abbandonato, ma costantemente aggiornato senza essere appesantito.
