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 a few days into using the Minimal Phone Launcher, and it works fine as a notification and distraction suppressor just as I anticipated.
However, The main reason I’m writing this review is to highlight the developer! I’m incredibly impressed with the effort and timeliness given by “Airman” to answer my concerns and incorporate shortcuts to essential apps, which are tools I need to run my Business. This gives me faith in this app. If he’s serving the other users this way, the app catalog will fill rapidly, and feature suggestions will likely be integrated and improved.

Also I should mention I immediately purchased the lifetime subscription, and it was more reasonable than a few overpriced competitors.

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.
