Annoyed

I'd be happy to change my review if there was any way to solve my problem, but there seems to be little to no help with doubts.
The app launched in a different language other than English, unrecognisable to me because I don't speak any Asian language.
I have clicked every button I have found in its preferences, but just go on circles, I'd expected better after paying for this app.

On the possitive side, if you speak the language, it looks great.

Excellent Launcher

I use several launchers - this is one is close to perfect. Positives - *everything* one needs to be configurable *is* configurable and mostly through very simple draggy-doppy-like processes. Pick up a tab and it moves. Move an icon and it moves. Pick up the whole tab bar and it moves (it also “clicks to place” to some degree so no positioning problems). Extremely easy to use and this app has displaced another launcher in my daily workflow. Just one minor negative I found - when making changes to configuration in the preferences it isn’t always completely clear how to differentiate between changes that affect a single icon or tab and those that affect the whole app. This operates mostly by constraints - for example tab width/height (repectively with vertical and horizontal placement of the bar) adapts to biggest icon so changing icon size in one tab can have unexpected global results. Its not a problem, just puzzling sometimes when wondering “how do I change X preference globally” (if you have a brain it will be fine). I was prompted to write this review by a couple of mediocre reviews on here that don’t do it justice - its not mediocre, its excellent.
To the developer - potential improvements for the future 1. support multiple launchers in different parts of the screen, 2. support other shaped widgets such as icons in a 2-d Rectangular box. Summary: if you are a dev you will love this app.

its ok

so this application does exactly what it says it will do, once again i downloaded a program for a problem i dont really have - my recommendation is create icon folders in the task bar like i did in the end, i am sure there are some people who might find this application useful. I found the program fresh of more use to be honest.

I don't know? this is ok for cheap program, i'm just conscious that i'm use vital Ram for something that is not a great problem to begin with, my thoughts are that if this was such a good idea then apple woud have used it themselves
