Love
May I suggest that when you click on the widget menu, maybe the essential launcher loading page could be turned into a breathing moment?
Better than dumbphone app

Brilliant
Equal to expensive alternatives
The one thing I don’t like is how, even after paying, the widgets have “Launcher” in tiny text at the bottom. So you get the app list sandwiched between “Launcher” in tiny print. Takes away from the minimal design and intention. I would get it if you’re using it for free, but not after paying.
Edit: Thanks to the dev’s response, I made the widget larger and the text (name of the app) is no longer visible. Thank you!!

Thanks so much for your kind words and support! Regarding the “Launcher” text on the widgets: unfortunately, due to system limitations in iOS 17 and earlier, it’s not possible to remove the widget name — which is the app name — from the Home Screen. Starting with iOS 18, Apple allows widgets to be enlarged, which automatically hides the widget title. Thanks again, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us!

Very Good
Anonymized or not //
I may not have been sufficiently clear in my previous statement at the very end that your privacy policy does not explicitly state “data not linked to you.” I was referring specifically to the Apple App Store information for this application. I see that’s now been rectified.
Developers’ response is satisfactory, so I’ll give them a higher rating. Transparency is crucial for trusting business practices.
Previous:
Data collection is data collection, regardless of whether it’s anonymous. Stop claiming “no data collected” when you implement data collection tools.
I’m giving any app that makes these claims a 1-star rating because their privacy policy contradicts them.
If it’s legitimate, you can easily include “data not linked to you” usage data or statistics in your privacy policy. Many other apps do this. Cut it out.

Thanks for your feedback! Our Privacy Policy clearly states that we collect anonymous usage data to improve the app experience, but this data is never linked to any personal identity. I’ve updated the App Store’s privacy settings to better reflect this, specifying that some usage data is collected for analytics but not linked to users. The update will be available soon.
Simple and effective
Would be 4 stars simply because the app will open first before launching the desired app. However, that seems to be a limitation that can't be overcome so I think 5 stars is deserved

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
