Wow

Pretty much near pointless. It’s a $5 widget… with shortcuts. If you want full tech minimalism it gets you halfway there, but since it’s just a widget there are easy ways around it. For what it is it’s intuitive and well made, but it’s not really helpful.

ios update ruined it

loved it until latest ios update they have not updated the app so it doesn’t look clean anymore i think it was apple glass or something just sucks cause i payed for it and then they don’t update it

No good

Black widgets don’t blend with black wallpaper no more

Not a true transparent “text-only” home screen

I purchased this app expecting a clean, minimalist home screen where app names would appear naturally on the wallpaper.

However, the widget still appears as a large floating rounded card with a visible background/border. It does not blend into the wallpaper the way I expected. If you are looking for a true “text-only” or transparent launcher look, this may not meet your expectations.

The app may be useful if you simply want a minimal widget-based launcher, but it is not the seamless, invisible-background home screen experience I was hoping for.

not as advertised

as said by other people, when you open your phone, it still looks the same, then you have to scroll to find your special dumbify widget (which won’t stack for me anyways). waste of money, i’m disappointed in myself for paying without having been able to test it.
