### 1/5 — Disaster

*2026-07-27*

I click the apps in the widget and they don’t open. Redirect me to the app. Wasted $11. No return policy.

### 1/5 — Might be great but the instructions are useless

*2026-02-28*

Would love it to be great but the app gives no idea how to stop the 'widget not created' thing. Very frustrating.

### 2/5 — ios26👎

*2025-12-15*

完成されていたのに、iOS26でウィジェットにガラス処理が加わり非常にルックが後退。大きいサイズのウィジェットは無理なのだろうか。

### 3/5 — Broken with last version of iOS

*2025-11-12*

The last version of iOS change the widget appearance. Is it possible to revert ? If not, 5 stars !

### 5/5 — Gut

*2025-07-24*

Fantastische Idee, tolles Konzept, aber kämpft an so vielen Stellen gegen Probleme mit der iOS-GUI. 

Tutorials genau folgen notwendig. 

Erfasst keine Daten und in einfacher Variante kostenlos nutzbar — sehr cool.

### 1/5 — Cannot even set it up

*2025-06-07*

Pretty limited information on getting this set up and working. I’ve just got an empty widget and literally no idea how to add an app to it. Tutorials are very limited. What am I missing?

### 1/5 — Ingame Kauf

*2025-04-20*

Der ingame Kauf war nicht lohnenswert. Final hat die App nicht die Performance die man sich wünscht! ACHTUNG! Keine Rückerstattung möglich

### 3/5 — Spotify broken after last update

*2025-01-04, version 2.0*

I love this app! It was an effort to make my phone less inviting and exciting so I was use it less. It has certainly helped. I even like the short lag it takes to go through a shortcut, because - again - I want my phone to be a little less convenient and fun so that I will use it less. BUT after the last update, the Spotify button no longer works. It used to launch the app, just fine. Now it opens Safari to the Spotify website. Please fix. I use that button daily and it not working is very annoying.

### 3/5 — One major flaw

*2024-11-21*

I’ve tested several of these minimal launchers. This is one of the best. The problem is such a major one though that I can’t use it for now. 

There is a delay in opening the app from the app that is opened after clicking the link in the widget. The app seems to get stuck in On Point. It will frequently not take me to my target app. 

I get that Apple has caused an issue where you need to use the shortcuts app and an automation to get this working. But other apps at least get the forwarding to the target app part right. And they do it quickly. In this app, I get stuck after landing in the app from the widget. 

However I really like having two widgets for the home page, so I can have 3 more app links shown than other launcher apps. It just isn’t enough of a benefit to overcome the failure of doing the one job it can’t fail at, taking me to the target app.

### 3/5 — Native apps don't work anymore

*2024-10-29*

Since the iOS update, neither mail nor Safari can be opened anymore. I reported it via the website but didn't even get an answer :( it was 5 stars up to that bug, now it feels a bit like waste of money.

Here’s what’s new in detail:
- Many target apps can now open directly without being redirected to on point first.
- New app icon that works in light mode / dark mode / tinted mode.
- Ensure compatibility with the new iOS.
- App randomization: if enabled, every time you open an app, apps are randomly re-positioned.
- There’s still a workaround to add custom apps via Shortcuts Automation, in case you can’t figure out a url scheme.
