One smart-ass launcher!

So anyone who knows me knows that I am always trying out new launchers, especially trying to make my phone do things I could never do when I owned an iPhone.  Well I'm getting past that urge, now I want only a few things out of my launcher:

• Easy to use
• Quick to use
• Lightweight

So I tried "Smart Launcher."  I really would suggest this to anyone who's tired of all the unnecessary frills that just slow your phone down.  This launcher installs quickly, asks you which apps you want behind the standard icons, and lets you go.

I used the free version for at least a few weeks, maybe a month before buying the pay version.  I'll make my personal pros/cons list and you decide which you want. (It's by no means all-inclusive)

Pros:

• Simple to configure the standard icons to the apps you want, so the huge collection of themes will look perfect out-of-the-box
• Lightweight and doesn't seem to tax the phone as much as some more "flashy" launchers do
• Operates in Landscape or Portrait mode
• Easy to configure little extras that I like, like hiding the status bar
• Optional plugin that shows "unread" counter on icons (calls, txts, etc)
• Supports adding folders, icons, or shortcuts to the display

Cons:

• Widgits can only be used in the Pay version
• Changing from free to pay versions basically restarts your setup
• Layout is pretty much pre-set: Circular or rows beneath a clock

Final Thoughts:

If you're looking for a minimalistic launcher that's reliable, stable, and easy to setup and use with the ability to change your theme on whim without needing hours of photo editing or tinkering with layouts, this is an excellent choice for you.  If you want the nuance of making icons the exact width hand position you want down to the half pixel, then you should stay with a gridless like Lightning Launcher. 

Either way, don't be afraid to give this one a shot, it's free and surprisingly durable and functional.
