Might be great but the instructions are useless

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

Broken with last version of iOS

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

Gut

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.

Cannot even set it up

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?

Ingame Kauf

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

Spotify broken after last update

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.

One major flaw

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.

Native apps don't work anymore

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.

The best of the minimal launchers

I’ve had the app for a month. After trying many variations on point was the only one that didn’t redirect when using the shortcut workaround. With IOS 18 it does redirect via the app for the first time after unlock, but Im sure it will be fixed and it’s still the better experience. One suggestion: create a blank black page in the app so I can leave that open and the redirect effect for the times it does happen would be less jarring.

最悪

IOS18では標準アプリが使えません

깔끔하네요

전체적으로 폰을 깔끔한 느낌으로 만들 수 있어서 좋아요

it’s okay

trying to automate all of my apps and have realised i can only use 6 widgets at a time? bit of a bummer. can’t seem to really fit enough apps on one widget..

Funktioniert in 2 von 5 malen nicht

Funktioniert in 2 von 5 malen nicht. Das ist völlig inakzeptabel für den Preis von 10€

Dosn’t work

As title. Just doesn’t work.

Great app

The app is good and the tutorials are explicative.

Some improvements that could be added to the next patches:
- is the dot below the widgets that hard to remove?
- the placement of the app names on the widgets on the home does not correspond to the appearance of the same widget in the app. If I place 2 apps in the small widget the placement on the home screen sees one app at the very top and the other one at the bottom. I have an IPhoneSE, maybe its not the case for newer models?
- the line that separates the home screen with the lower fixed-apps bar is still visible, would that be difficult to remove?

1 suggestion

Love this app and bought the pro version! Would love for one thing to be added: could you add an optional feature that randomly changes the order off Apps in a widget, say, every hour?
The changing app pattern would prevent „habitual“ app use because you have to search for the app name every time! Still gave you 5 stars but please incorporate this suggestion 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I really want to like this app.

I am a lifetime member. The general idea is great. Minimal Home Screen, and no notifications. The interface for adding apps is straightforward and customizable.

However, the app opening is clunky. It’s not possible to natively add every single app. So, the custom apps via shortcuts is great, right? Not so much. Clicking an app via the widgets while running via shortcuts / automation will make on point visibly open for about a second or two before opening the desired app. Although short, this is frustrating! The worst offender is Firefox Focus. So, I have to either live with this clunky delay with automation on, or not support custom apps. Please improve this if possible.

Note: iPhone 12 running iOS 17.5.1

difficult to set up, doesn’t work

i click to open an app and it opens the widget, not the app. paid ten bucks and it’s worthless.

Not as bad as the reviews say.

Not perfect obviously but about as good as can be expected given the built in IOS limitations. Not hard to figure out if you have a little bit of patience. Will continue to use this.

good workaround but adding apps is difficult & now can’t seem to rename apps

it has definitely improved from *that* update, but it is still hard to use. i deleted this app for a while but came back since i saw it had updated. the workaround for opening apps is good. but the adding new apps is difficult since most of mine aren’t on that list

it also won’t let me have two widgets with the free version. i thought i could get max two free widget?
