I like so many have used this app for years. Hands down one of if not the best. However @developer. the last few days I have noticed an issue With widgets, Google calendar and weather clock are having random issues and failing or not loading. If you remove it and reapply it works but will fail again. Please fix. Something changed with Google or a Samsung update. Over all still an awesome app

Great Launcher app, highly customizable from colors and fonts to themes and skins all the way to dock and status bar types and window transition animations to home screen and app drawer layouts and customizations. Highly recommended for anyone still running a phone using Android 4.1 or earlier. Really fun, satisfying, and efficient and most importantly reliable Launcher app. I've got mine running with an old school cynogen mod 9 ROM. I love it.

Thanks. Bought a Lenovo tablet, which I love,but the Launcher is silly. Saves apps directly onto the desktop, not into an "apps store" on the device. So, if you remove something from the desktop, you uninstall the app - crazy. Was going to send back the tablet to QVC, then remembered that I used to use ADW on my Archos tablets, so installed it on my Lenovo. Perfect. And now I use it on all my Android phones. I've used it for so long that I'd forgotten it's not the standard Android Launcher.

always had this, always loved it. paid for it. but using it with icons from flight lite opens the flight lite app info and options when i go to force stop apps the icon is set to overlay. already identified adw 1 as the problem with that app's author. don't see an update for this one that might fix the problem. also clicking and dragging icons from the app draw and dragging them to the top of the screen to uninstall doesn't work. just makes the icon dissappear.

Uh, hello? Developers? Updates? Security issues, notification failures, issues moving icons across screens/not being able to Uninstall app by moving icon up to "uninstall", font issues, screen zoom issues, new found ad intrusion issues, among many other issues you'll find by testing devices such as Samsung Galaxy S5, Note 5 up to S9, S9+, S10, S10+, and Samsung Tab A series, as well as Cloud Mobile devices, and other tested devices. This promts security, coding/GUI updates, don't you think?

???? I have been using adw launcher for about 10 years. I have always thought it to be the BEST launcher on the market, with so many themes that are really nice without ever looking cheesy or child-like, and so many options and customizations, resulting in phone you can be proud for others to look at, and different from the rest. Lately, however, my adw settings are not enforced and not working, and I don't understand. Getting a lot of force closes also. What is going on here?

I have tried so many launchers and always come back to this one. I have no cons. The customization is endless. I have used this for years, it's the first thing I do when I get a new phone. Pros, I love the transitions and being able to customize the home screen icons from label to picture. That's just to name a few. Awesome!

I have loved this launcher for the last 4 or 5 phones that I have had. I am now using a S23 Ultra and the home page crashes, and I have to switch to the default launcher and back to ADW in order to use it again. It happens 4-5 times per day. I think it is time for an update.
