Is it possible to revert ? If not, 5 stars ! ### 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. ### 3/5 — No free trial *2024-09-02* Two problems: the dot is distracting under the widget name. Can that be removed? Second, there’s no free trial, so I can experiment with all feature before committing. ### 4/5 — 깔끔하네요 *2024-08-25* 전체적으로 폰을 깔끔한 느낌으로 만들 수 있어서 좋아요 ### 3/5 — it’s okay *2024-08-18* 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.. ### 2/5 — Funktioniert in 2 von 5 malen nicht *2024-08-11* Funktioniert in 2 von 5 malen nicht. Das ist völlig inakzeptabel für den Preis von 10€ **Developer response:** Hey Joel! Tut mir leid dass es bei Dir nicht geklappt hat – ich habe just Version 2.0 freigegeben – klappt es damit besser? Liebe Grüße Frederik ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-06-22* 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? ### 3/5 — I really want to like this app. *2024-06-17* 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 ### 2/5 — difficult to set up, doesn’t work *2024-06-16, version 1.0.4* i click to open an app and it opens the widget, not the app. paid ten bucks and it’s worthless. ### 3/5 — good workaround but adding apps is difficult & now can’t seem to rename apps *2024-06-11* 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? **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback! I can definitely understand your frustration, the old version used to work much better. It was not my decision to make the app work in a worse way. I have worked hard in the last couple of weeks to add a new workaround which makes the app a lot better, especially when used with custom apps. I would love to hear your feedback on this, you can find the new setting + tutorial in on point’s settings. ### 4/5 — Fehler *2024-06-10* Hat bis gestern super funktioniert, aber auf einmal führen WA Business und WhatsApp beide auf WA Business und ich kann das normale WhatsApp nicht mehr öffnen. Das hat davor funktioniert. Warum buggt das? ### 3/5 — Ruined app with shortcuts *2024-06-03, version 1.0.4* I appreciate the dev working on an update to help with the shortcut delay, but it’s still a bit too long for me personally. Hopefully iOS 18 will give back the previous functionality. ### 3/5 — Eigentlich sehr gut, aber ! *2024-05-21* Vor dem letzten Update war die App super. Nur jetzt öffnet sich die App im Hintergrund. Leider schade weil das genau die Funktion war die die App ausgemacht hat. ### 3/5 — Hoping for an update to fix the issues! *2024-05-11* APPLE HAS HAM-STRINGED DEVELOPERS with recent iOS update… “Don’t hate the player, hate the game!” This app was almost perfect. Now, because of Apple’s alterations, this guy and many other dev’s are having to come up with work arounds that currently aren’t too pretty. Hoping Apple updates and gives more freedom so this developer can re-simplify the flow of the app. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback!

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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — 最悪 *2024-09-24* IOS18では標準アプリが使えません ### 1/5 — Dosn’t work *2024-07-03* As title. Just doesn’t work. **Developer response:** Hey Secondintime! Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience. I have just released v2.0 – does it work now? – Frederik ### 1/5 — Great idea *2024-06-10* Great idea, ambitious and clever. It was too complicated to set it up and the result was poor. ### 1/5 — funktioniert nicht , kein support, kein refund *2024-04-26* ist einfach schrott. mag sein das die app auf anderen systemen funktioniert. beta tester zum preis von 10€. danke für nix **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback! I can definitely understand your frustration, the old version used to work much better. It was not my decision to make the app work in a worse way.

I bought a subscription for the year cuz I was enjoying it, but now it lags out and doesn’t open the apps when I pick the title half the time. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all *2024-04-15* Do not download and pay for this absolute trash **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Tutorials genau folgen notwendig. Erfasst keine Daten und in einfacher Variante kostenlos nutzbar — sehr cool. ### 5/5 — The best of the minimal launchers *2024-10-02* 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. ### 5/5 — 1 suggestion *2024-06-20* 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 🙏🏼🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Not as bad as the reviews say. *2024-06-14* 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. ### 5/5 — Sehr gut umgesetzt *2024-06-10* Funktioniert sehr gut. Super wäre noch, dass man das App Icon auch in Dunkelgrau anpassen kann ### 5/5 — App Fixed *2024-05-31, version 1.0.4* Thanks for the fix and workaround to the lag in app opening! ### 5/5 — Simple Launcher *2024-05-10, version 1.0.3* This app reminds me a lot of a launcher I used to use on Android. Overall this app has made my home screen much more simplistic, which I am a fan of. Good job! ### 5/5 — Nicht perfekt, aber genial *2024-04-28* Plus: - sehr hilfreich gegen Selbstablenkung (am besten in den Apple-Einstellungen noch den Farbfilter Grau für das komplette iPhone nutzen) - es werden null Daten erhoben (man vergleiche die bekanntere und sogar teurere Konkurrenz-App - Datenkrake!) Das ist sind zwar nur 2 Punkte, aber die sind für mich beide extrem wichtig, und die App läuft bei mir völlig problemlos, so dass der Rest völlig in den Hintergrund tritt: Minus: - iPad-App fehlt - mehr Anpassungsmöglichkeiten wären besser - mehr direkt aufrufbare Apps wären besser, der Umweg über die Shortcuts ist für mich ok, aber trotzdem unschön ### 5/5 — Fix *2024-04-13, version 1.0.3* Love the app. But hate how the new update makes you open your apps through the app. It always starts a new window in safari and you can see the little dot at the top left of the screen when in a app. Disappointed when I paid $15 for this. ### 5/5 — Sehr gute Idee / Feinschliff wäre cool *2024-04-07* War eine klasse Idee das Phone mal zu entschlacken. Cool bei der Konfiguration wäre, wenn man die Apps editieren könnte. Ich habe oft gelöscht und neu angelegt. Bis es dann geklappt hat. Auch habe ich es nicht geschafft ein widget mit mehr als 6 Programmen zu erstellen. Gruss MSS --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
