Zen Launcher user reviews :

Just installed Lacks some basic features Has only one screen You cannot place icons on homescreen except as favourites in one row When you place more than 3 or 4 icons on homescreen as favourites they become very tiny Allow placement of icons on homescreens and allow rearrangement Allow movement of widgets by dragging It would then feel like a launcher Thanks

  • Thanks for the feedback. Try removing app names from favorites and there is also “bigger favorites” setting, those will make them slightly bigger. Multiple widged handling could indeed have better control, feedback noted.

Almost great, please add support for system colors(material you theme)

A very functional light weight app. No ads.Using this as an app to search within the device rather than as the default launcher. Very responsive when searching contacts. There is, however, a few seconds delay when starting up.. The options for Signal, WhatsApp, SMS etc. make it more useful. Very responsive developer. Thanks for making this app available.

  • Thanks!

Great launcher but : 1. “Apps list” and “display all apps” aren’t very responsive. Sometimes need 1-2s to load the apps icon. 2. Swipe gesture isn’t very responsive too, sometimes I need to swipe twice after using other gesture. 3. The widget position setting is very annoying btw | and can ask something, it would be very useful if you can give gesture in app drawer or app list, so we can back to home with swipe gesture too, or without home/back button. Thanks btw.

  • Thanks for the feedback and improvement ideas!

I really like the functionality of this launcher, it’s small but full of useful features.There are a few things which needed to be updated.Firstly, when I add Google’s clock widget it doesn’t come in actual circular shape but square, which looks weird.Lastly, whenever I lock screen by double tap my phone asks password to unlock but not biometrics it says phone has been locked by a third party app.

  • Thanks for the feedback. Need to look onto google clock widget issue. Doubletap lock is intentionally done as “secure” lock, needing password to be entered.

this launcher is simple but has a lot of amazing features. It helps to save battery, no ads, can hide apps, supports widgets, and also has blue light filter(night mode) which is very helpful for readers (please make the night mode filter covers the whole screen)

  • Thanks for the review! Possible problem with night filter noted.

Adding widget function isn’t working on my phone. My phone is Redmi 10A. Kindly fix the issue!

Underestimated at first. Really goooooood, its the ultimate version of another launcher similar to this. So much better. It looks scary at first when editing stuff but it is easy tbh. This might be my best launcher to date.

  • Thank you very much for your 5-star review!!!
