Does not offer a widget ...

What is the use of a launcher with no widget?

Response from developer

Dear skerfy. Thank you very much for your review. Strictly speaking, this app does not entirely lack widget functionality. As you mentioned, I do not provide a “Home Widget” that can be placed on the home screen, but I do provide a “Today Widget” that can be placed in the area displayed by swiping the home screen to the right. The Home Widget is not provided due to various limitations compared to the Today Widget. Two of the most important reasons are the limitations in widget size and the types of frameworks that can be used. First, regarding the widget size, I believe that the strength of this application is that it can list a large number of applications by lining up only the application names and not displaying icons. However, I do not provide the Home Widget because I believe that its size limitation prevents it from fully demonstrating this strength. Incidentally, the Today Widget has no size limitation. Next, regarding the framework, the very important framework used in the Today Widget is restricted so that it cannot be used in the Home Widget. Therefore, to provide the Home Widget, I would need to make a very large scale modification. Since I are making this application in between my main jobs, I have not been able to take the time to make the modifications. I hope you understand.
