Awesome app. Not for the artsy, but from a functional standpoint, I have never seen this good an app. Anyone else use it?

It basically puts all your main stuff in one sliderbar style screen. For me, I c an look at 7 apps worth of stuff right on my homescreen. The app drawer is functional, and has quick select slots. It is a bit overpriced (7 bucks) but I bought it after seeing everything that they are developing for future releases. They have an API in the works that will let any app dev add support to their apps too. I don;t think this is everyone's cup of tea, but for me it is one of the best things I have found on Droid.

I downloaded it after reading this. I like it..but they're not getting 7 bucks for it lol. The free version is cool though. I wont use it all the time but its really cool. Thanks for sharing.

I did the 7 bucks, but like I said, I am paying for the stuff coming in the future. That and I liked it enough to bank on that. The fact that it can be run as an App or Homescreen is nice too.

I am completely hooked. I see this as able to pull from sites like Io9, or Gizmodo, and the potential for other apps like Foursquare is awesome. I set this as my homescreen, and it will stay for the foreseeable future.

i like it more as an app than a homescreen..
definitely not going to pay $7 for it, (*unless there are some features that aren't included in the free.. all i see is no adds.)
overall it is cute, and doesnt seem to make my phone lag which is definitely a plus

Like I said, it leans to the working side of Android. I don't think they made it to be slick, but to serve a function. I use my phone as a communications tool, and a work tool, so for me this app is just what the doctor ordered. That is the nice thing about Droid, it can be whatever it needs to be, based on the person using it.
