About this app

A launcher is not just a home, it needs to be an experience.

👨‍💻 Support Chat: t.me/HyperionHub
🗞 Hyperion Dock (Enable Google Feed): prjkt.io/dock

We believe that not only should everyone deserve a sweet, feature-filled launcher with a beautiful UX, we wanted it to always be up to date with the best of what Google has to offer at a consistent pace, as well as consistently pushing new tweaks and customization options that users want...without the bloat!

We streamlined this launcher for ourselves; by bringing the best features we love from many launchers found on the market and creating a unified experience - we can truly call this home. As usual, we have everything that a typical Launcher3 based launcher has, but much more!

Wish this launcher worked better. Randomly changes themed icons back to default icon. Only way to fix is to restart Hyperion. Randomly shows several apps in folders on desktop as greyed out and unavailable to click on. Randomly won't show app drawer. Randomly changes wallpaper positioning. Also, entire desktop disappears when I use some widgets. Reappears when widget is closed. I use a launcher to enforce my chosen order on my desktop not to create all sorts of randomness.

All in all a smooth & affordable launcher. I ended up getting the paid version simply to support the devs. However, a couple weeks of daily driving it has revealed a glaring issue: crashes. I often find myself swiping up to go home, only to see a blank, frozen wallpaper. No gestures work and it even opens random apps when tapping the wallpaper (bug with the drawer, perhaps?), and I have to navigate to settings through the notification center to force stop & restart the launcher. On Pixel 7 Pro.

Great Pixel like launcher from awesome devs, but I have two issues (one minor, one major). The minor one is the inability to change the G in the search bar. It's been over 3 years since my last review, and it was a problem then two. The major issue is I can't create folders in the Drawer without the app crashing. Still leaving it at 4*, but that needs fixed ASAP
