Picoo Launcher 1.7.00.00
There are many launchers on Google Play Store, some are extremely complex while others only have a few features. Picoo Launcher is one of the more simplistic ones with some tools at hand.
In fact, it's missing some essential tools, but it should be fine for users who are looking for simplicity and a nice design, rather than complicated and complex launchers.
Sleek UI with some features
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, but you wouldn't really need them since the UI is quite intuitive and nice. It doesn't let users import their settings and folders from your previous launcher which is quite inconvenient, if you want to keep some icons that were on your home screens.
Still, it arranges all of your apps into multiple categories like social, news readers, life style, media, tools, photography, entertainment and other apps.
Customize the launcher to your liking
It does come with some customization features, which you can find under the overflow icon on the bottom of the screen. It also comes with one extra wallpaper and you can access your local gallery to set any picture as your wallpaper. You can change the folder pattern and choose between rectangular or circular.
It also has a toolbar in the notification area with toggles for enabling the flashlight, airplane mode, mobile data, WiFi or the ringtone. There's an icon on the home screen that gives users access to even more toggles, like bluetooth, vibrate, hotspot, GPS, brightness, system settings and the app manager.
Few features
You can create as many screens as you like, but the app doesn't come with any transition effects which is quite inconvenient since many other launchers have them. Also, the app drawer arranges all of your apps alphabetically, but it's missing any other sorting options.
However, it does have a search bar at the top of the screen, you can type in the name of an app and find it faster. Other than that, you can't change the size of icons, can't pick font style and size or add any other widget, aside from some basic ones. All in all, the launcher is nice but it's too simplistic and it needs some extra features and visual effects.

It takes up considerably more resources compared to other launchers, so keep an eye on battery levels when using this app. |
