The idea behind this launcher is exactly as described, and it showed when many reviewers and long-time users of it got my attention. One of the biggest advantages this one has over the others though is that it is considerably designed to allow you to navigate with just one hand: from having an All apps button on the bottom corner of the screen to alphabetizing everything backwards. The only downside is that it can still be slow while the launcher tries to load the app icons when you start it.

1.The app icons of certain apps from time to time goes missing, though everything works mormally. After a restart this is resolved. Please work on this. 2. While using high intensive apps such as Camera, i have noticed that the launcher crashes. So, again i would have to wait a few seconds for it to become normal. p.s the concept of this launcher is quite brilliant. People should try it at least once to get a taste.

REPLY- Thank you for responding! I am aware of the tags option, personally I find visual folders easier to work with (in the app drawer). Grids are better than lists IMO. But, that's not a big issue for me. I did realize one other thing missing, and this is more important, that is quick actions app shortcuts. Hope to see those in the future. FIRST- It seems very promising. I REALLY appreciate the lack of network permissions and the non-invasive requests overall. I adore the overall look and feel + the straight to search on pressing the home key. However, I am waiting for more widget and general customization options (font & icon size, number of icons on favorites bar, folders in app drawer, etc.) I understand your focus on simplicity, but there's 2 kinds of simple, and one does not necessarily equate with easy. Anyway, I am excited to see and enjoy more good work from you dev Neamar. Thanks for sharing your project!

More icons on the favorites bar are coming soon! For folders, see http://help.kisslauncher.com/tags/use-tag-bar/. Finally some more work is underway for widgets, but we miss manpower here and could use some help!
