User reviews

Responsive developer, much potential

It’s great to see this app adding many new features quickly! It works well in its current form and the developer is very responsive to suggestions for improvements too. How cool that it now supports iOS 17 also. One thing this app is particularly good for is launching older iOS games or sideloaded personal apps that are not currently listed in the App Store. I happily bought this app to play games on an older iPhone XR with Backbone One controller. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Response from developer

Tank you for your rating and purchase! My goal is to build a launcher people really want to use, while also pushing new ideas and possibilities not seen in any other launcher. I'm glad to hear that it works well for you!

My review

The app is good but it need more features like changing the pin layout and having more customisation. But evething else works great

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for your review! The pin layout has an option to rearrange with the gamepad using the Triangle or Y button on your controller to pick up a tile, which then can be moved around and dropped. You can also drag tiles around by hand. More customisation is on the way. If you want to request something for implementation, you can do so on r/StarterSeeds or by reaching out to contact@atkins.sh

Ok

It does exactly what is says it would do. Not many bugs. If they add background music and different modes it would be great. I still prefer other launchers though

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for your review! Background music and different visual modes are both planned for v2.0, which is currently in development. I'm aiming for a September release alongside iOS 27. Maybe it’ll win you over once it’s out!
