Minimalist Launcher 4+

This app is great. I am able to declutter my Home Screen and use the minimalist screen to only have my 6 essential apps. I also added some useful widgets on the widget screen to the left (iPhone), and a handful of other very useful apps I need that went over 6. All the other apps I use I went through and deleted the unnecessary ones and kept the rest but hid the screens so that only essential apps are seen. I also set iPhone settings to grayscale. I paired the visual strengths of this app with the app control customizability of “burnout buddy” to set timers and restrictions on apps I need but tend to waste time on. This app is great. The free features do everything I need. When I needed support to add a new app I use into the favorites available for this app, I reached out to support and “Airman” on telegram was able to update the app and add my desired app “FitNotes 2” onto the minimalist launcher! Outstanding support! These guys deserve a round of applause! Do not waste your time looking for other minimalist phone screens. This will cover all your needs.

I'm not one to review, so this is big- I've needed to step away from social media on my phone in a biiig way; I have a tendency to get totally stuck scrolling, in a way that's only dissociative, not enjoyable whatsoever... and in just a week (really after just the first day!), this app has provided me with the simple tools I needed to completely kick the habit. If you'd told me a week ago that my scrolling addiction would be gone and I wouldn't miss it at all, I would've said there's no way. I owe this app my well-being, for real. My phone doesn't own me & my attention anymore with flashy colors and icons and notification bubbles. It's a tool that I control. Thank you!!! (Also big tip: use the accessibility settings to set your phone to greyscale- even less eye catching that way!)

I thought installing the app would fundamentally change the launcher for my iPhone but that is not the case. It is just a wall paper and some widgets and some instructions to get that set up to have a less visually cluttered home screen. Don’t get me wrong there is definitely some value in that feature though. My main problem is that the widgets don’t even work. They just remain dark blank boxes that when clicked just open up the app. Despite following the instructions of the app and the instructions of tech support in an attempt to get the widgets working, they still do not work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice and set the background of the widgets so do not respond to this review asking if I did that because I did. The only reason I did not give this one star is because being able to block distracting apps is pretty useful and that works great. If the developer responds with a way to fix my problem then I will update to 5 stars as it would do everything I expect of the app.
