Google devices are an ideal choice for Smart Launcher users!

The Launcher UI freezes and becomes unresponsive multiple times a day

We are aware of an issue affecting several devices running Android 14 or 15, where the Launcher UI may freeze and become unresponsive. This problem is due to a bug in the operating system itself, and unfortunately, it affects all third-party launchers, not just ours. As this issue is beyond our control, we are currently unable to provide a direct fix.

We have reported this issue to Google through their Issue Tracker, and we are awaiting a resolution from them. If you are experiencing this problem, please consider starring the issue on the Google Issue Tracker to help increase its visibility and urgency for Google.

Smart Launcher is not working well with gestures (Android 8 and 9)

Starting from Android P, Google introduced a gesture system as alternative to the navigation bar. Unfortunately, only build-in launchers have full control over the new navigation system. 3rd party launchers like Smart Launcher have to rely on a fallback mode fully handled by the Android system.
