Sad to read, but not at all surprising. I remember how much damage control Kevin was doing back when the sale to Branch happened.

I hope he has learned something about trusting the word and contracts from entities like Branch from the whole thing.

    Kvaesitso takes a little to get used to. It is not like a traditional launcher and is no where near as customizable as Nova but I still really like it.

    If you don’t like having a ton of icons, only use a limited number of widgets, you like to use a search bar, and you don’t like shoving things in the app screen in to folders, I suggest giving it a try.

    The home screen only allows one row of icons. You have a set of icons as your favorites in the app screen. You can use tags, rather than folders, to organize icons.

    It is different but it is very polished.

      I found that after a good part of a year, I wasn’t using the widgets menu at all and it would take me more time to find the right tag than if I had folders that benefit from muscle memory

      I do get the appeal though, it’s very polished

        You seem to know what you need but if you decide to try it again, you can set favorite tags. Clicking a favorite tag will put all the icons to the top.

        But yeah I can understand why it’s not for everyone. The widgets only allow for full width so customization is limited. Tags and the search bar will limit muscle memory. I can probably open my most used apps blindfolded in Lawnchair or Nova. I can’y do that with this launcher. I see your point.
