We said the same thing about SPB Shell.

I’ve spent lots of money on 2 apps and do I ever regret it. SPB shell is one of them. Only on my Asian no name brand tab is it worth $5 much less the costs they asked for. I know I will not spend another dime on a replacement HS app again. Unless… I hit the lottery and have nothing better to do. And then it will be for a bigger screen gadget.

Holy Crap…. With you mentioning it as “the most expensive launcher” I took it with a grain of salt thinking, eh what, maybe 5, 6 bucks tops? I went to the play link and over looked the price a few times thinking it was the in Euros or something. Over 16 dollars is way too much for a stickler like me. Unless I can command it to perform every task like Jarvis, I’ll stick with Nova.

I do a similar thing, but I use SwipePad instead of a folder. I keep a calendar widget and a to-do widget on my homescreen and that is it.

I simply don’t put app shortcuts on my homescreen. It’s not an iPhone and that’s what the app drawer is for. I have one folder called favorites in my hot seat, that’s it.

I don’t care how good that launcher is, it’s not worth $16.80. They’re pretty much asking for their app to get pirated at that price. I guarantee they would sell more copies and make more money if they lowered it to $5-$10. Nova and Apex are the top launchers on the Play Store right now and both have their pro version at $4 (which I gladly paid for Nova).

Maybe… 8 bucks for a launcher replacement is still kinda steep with how slick stock Android has gotten. Granted, it won’t do this, but I’d have to seriously think about it. It would be another cool way to piss off iFans!

At that price, it should be called WTF Shell Pro!!! Looks great, though!

They should do some serious market analysis. I’m sure at a more reasonable $5 this would sell like crazy. At $17 they are only hurting potential sales. The only people who buy a $17 app are tech geeks who must try everything and asshats who only want to brag about how they spent $17 on an app.

Works great on my gs 3. Like it alot. it stuttered a bit on my dx. I wouldn’t buy again if still had dx. Definitely would for gs 3.

I use one home screen. I used to use 3, but since ICS made folders so easy I only need one home screen.

Oh, it functioned fine. I didn’t have a single FC or anything like that, I just didn’t like it as a UI for my phone… I’d prefer it for a non-phone device where I don’t want my phone, address book, text messages always accessible on my launcher (like I have with Apex).

I’d give it another try if it had a dock I could place items on permanently.

Please note, I’m not advocating piracy, but 15 minutes is not long enough for me to try a launcher… and for $15, I’m not going to buy it. If I tried and liked it, I would buy it.
